New idea for roleplay in the server.

I've seen these rules before and I love them, but this is CF, not... er, nm I'm supportive of this rule model because it would encourage people to be active (defending your assets) and because it would be appealing to newcomers (our present clan-system rules seem to be the thing that drives the most freelancers away).

My biggest concern though is, like with the proposed ASF-CSF model that people like me who are somewhat young and don't have any money miss out on the RP's greatest features. Non-server clans can't bear ASF-CSF tags and participate in that RP, and even under these new, proposed rules people without money don't get into all the fun. Don't get me wrong, it think it works wonders for gathering the necessary cash, but it means for me that I'll never get to have the full CF experience until a get my first job solely for that purpose

(Btw, sorry for making you edit your next post. When I say something I get my rough idea down and post it, and then edit it several times. Lol, on this one the changes were drastic ^^)

Yes, I know

Perhaps OP could allow non-serverclans to own one vanilla system and all the bases in it free of charge if they put together the game-money that would be needed for a serverclan to make the same purchase? Nothing fancy I mean, but something out of the way from the house capitols and such... hmm, maybe I'd just be better off parking my chars next to a station in my system of choice and just shooting anyone who doesn't get permission to pass. Lol, it'd be good for RP and official or not people would eventually come to see the place as owned. *takes out pencil and scribbles lines and arrows across a printout of Sirius* [rofl]

They aren't near X-3043, the in-system trade routes usually aren't as good, most of them don't sell VHFs, and there's a (very slim) chance of you becoming surrounded by other clansystems with no neutral ground to get out of your own.

hmm, sounds like an ok idea, well an idea to be considered anyway

but from what i have seen thus far in my 5 hrs on this server/mod

the clanbase deal kinda sucks... what i mean is...

all the good systems with easy trade routes are ownes by clan members... and no new ppl can go there, i dont know how many times in a 5 min period i was threatened by BG members to leave there system or i would be killed

they told me to leave, and i asked if i could give them a percentage since there is no way i can trade better or faster they said not to ask again under penalty of death

the best trade route i fount was a horid 600/unit in this lil 275 cargo ship, at this rate i will be trading for years just to buy a bigger ship...

dont get me wrong i understand clanbase/system thing

but what i dont understand is that like clans get all the good trade routes, and ppl whom dont affiliate themselves with a clan are screwed, all good ships take, trade routes, even freighters... i was told i cannot buy bullpup freighter because its a clanship.... wtf a freighter???? ummm kk

im not trying to sound like an ass or w/e... but its very very very difficult to get anywhere in this server i got 3 mill, from 5 hrs trading???? yea...

so i like the new idea, perhaps it will be easier..

also can i purchase the rights to use a trade one that isnt 400 systems to get 125k

the bg one is 1 trade lane both ways and its like 3/4 mill / run

if so please pm the price requested

The clans that have over that, be honest. What u do with all that money?

You've missed my concern m8. I've nearly got a billion credits as it is by myself, but I'll never have the euros to pay for that all-important "serverclan" status, so having that billion credits is rather useless anyway

Well, I had one similar ideia some time ago, but it was made for asf/csf, that it was based on the 2 faccions earn credits by taking systems.
Like the tax credit's of the planet's.

for example.

asf owns NewBerlin= asf get's 50 mill a week.

asf owns New Berlin and frankfurt= asf get's 50 mill a week for New Berlin more 40 mill for frankfurt.

I say "never" beacuse I know for a fact that my clan isn't going to have more than a couple of people. Nevermind, even if I had a member with money it'd be selfish and exploiting to have that person pick up the bill. I'm settling on my occupation idea ^^. If I pick a place where people rarely visit, they won't mind anyhow

Not discounting anything that has been said here, but there is a player in charge of making rp suggestions and changes for submission to the Admin.

His name is Centaurian Alpha, a distinguished member and CEO of (IOC).

Please put all of your ideas in a PM or email and send it to Centaurian. And he will see what can be done or fits into the current RP plan. From there, he will send it to Op, Wavey and Myself.

As for abolishing rent, that is not going to happen anytime soon as far as I know.....our new server needs to be paid for and all the goodies that comes with it.

Well, you try to defend multiple bases and control the access. You cant.

Systems are paramount for training, clan trade and safe place to be for the most part.

I would love to see you control access to 3 bases or try too.

I can tell you from experience, if we had rights to bases only, and the defiance from freelancers and opposing clans.....and trying to control the flow of people to your HOME.

There would be a multitude of killing of players in and around that base and you would have no time to focus on your clan at all.

I'm one of the ppl that wants some new rules. A non server clan can be military superior, still not participate in ASF-CSF, and almost all other events, just listening in the background (its another question that a clan with 20, fully armed pilot, can simply rush a system and claim it its own). All in one, they miss almost every fun. And thats bad
In other fact, I know my clan won't be a server clan any time soon, thats why I founded them to mercenaries
Uhm, back to the topic, even with these reasons, I have to right with Gunny :/. And I say that becouse it didn't worked in one of the other servers I played.

I still think you're idea is great Ruivo, don't get us wrong. I think it'd work, but I don't call any of the shots. Keep brainstroming and expanding on this. You may be on to something ^^.
