Earlier today there was a major meeting with representatives of a wide spectrum of CF clans. Due to massive consensus we have taken RP measures that will bring back the good days of old and, if all goes as planned, revamp the quality of gameplay here like never before. The following are some general conclusions we made: 1. Non-serverclan players MUST have a license for their RP to engage in it. 2. Clans with an established RP must NOT partake in other RPs unless there is some sort of exception …

edited to prevent flaming and misinformation (Quote) 1. When you call in for police assistance the nearest patrol will either have to detour to help you or units will have to be dispatched from the police's base - that way police can't F1 to the scene of the crime. 2. BG is OP's clan. We at the meeting decided that it would be best not to force BG to comply to anything (especially since no BG were present at the meeting). It will be up to OP to chose what he wants to do with his clan. If he wan…

(Quote) I asked if we could escort our own freighters or use capitol ships for trade and the replies were that mercs should be doing the escorting and trading clans should only escort themselves on big runs like Sol... I'll adjust my first post accordingly and edit out others completely. Hope this clears up most of your outrage IOC

This is dragged over from the police clans' new RP thread. This is just a thought... maybe a bad one, but perhaps it'd be more witty for the clans to use NPC bases of the same RP allignment... maybe even have a faction or two as sponsors of sorts? That is, have clans have the same NPC allies and enemies as NPC factions equivelent to them (say for pirates militaries, companies, and police are hostile, terrorist factions are neutral, and pirates are allied for instance)? That way the kinds of bas…

(Quote) Aye, I just figured with so many people in the other thread liking the concept it'd be better to have lots of places to dock than just one. If it's to be kept simple then I'm going to shun the home-base idea altogether, lol. Still think it sounds cool though xD

(Quote)I never said that, I said there's no point to having 5 fighters if they all have to launch from the same base. (Quote)That works except for when you have to leave and don't have time to return to base or when you're presented with traveling having to respond to an incident on the opposite end of the CF universe. Makes sense but needs to be balanced with practicality. (Quote)I agree with the use of F1 to escape out of or jump into the scene of action is bad - very bad, but I've got chars …

Hehehe, maybe this works better for some RP groups than others. I am biased towards the traders' approach. We need to have chars scattered all over or we can't make profits. When a freighter has an escort we need to be able to have them both dock at the same base, not wait half an hour for the fighter to arrive as the train idles and hopes that pirates aren't going to arrive before the convoy even gets underway. The police do patrols and it makes sense for those patrols to have a point of origin…

Having a pair of satellite bases makes things much more reasonable imo. I know that this isn't mandated, but I agree that the idea in general is very good, and it'd be pretty awesome if everyone agreed on something. By having a trio of stations from which serverclans could launch support units (I'm assuming that Sol / Altair is still a whole different story since we skipped over it at the meeting), they wouldn't be quite as compelled to stay holed up in their clansystem or stay near it for prot…

Clans haven't even addressed Sol, Altair, events, and X-3043 really. I'm assuming that despite all this talk we're all still going to spend a lot of time doing PvP and events in Arena, hanging out in X, undertaking voyages together in Altair, and the like. The point of the changes is supposed to improve the RP, not so much change the other things we do. While this is an overhaul, perhaps it sounds like more than it is.

I'm going to go over the same with Dopple. This won't work out 100% of the time (getting the chars back to base that is), but as long as a few of the clans adopt the concept and have fun while adding a bit of realism that's still a pretty good thing
