RE: Does everyone like the RP? - seio - 07-31-2016 Well, is there any server that does the Pirate, Rogue, Hunter, Trader thing? I remember trying Hamburg city, although the server was dead, but it was really none of those "classes" around on there. Looked more like people only casually PvPed. I imagine all the "unofficial discovery" servers all are stuck with these IDs and stuff, and probably doesn't' run those simple classes. Even a vanilla server would be good enough. RE: Does everyone like the RP? - Blackvertigo1 - 07-31-2016 If you want that, jump in a Sabre-Saber. RE: Does everyone like the RP? - Psyentific - 07-31-2016 All the other servers are d e d DED. It's disco or nothing. If you just want to muck around in spess, fly in Connecticut, join the Liberty Navy/Rogues. Core, maybe?

It's disco or nothing.I want the X/H/R/T dynamic back, and play with that. Connecticut doesn't offer that. The idea would be to try to gather interest from elsewhere, and hope to stabilize enough players, for long enough, to harness interest from other people. I imagine that there are a lot of people wanting to play freelancer, but can't be bothered with discovery servers, so they choose to just not play at all. I guess I could set up my own server, but I don't know enough about security to avoid issues (Like, if I'm DDoSed or whatever, I doubt my ISP would be happy). I do have a scrap PC laying around, that I could put together, and a 100/100mbit connection. RE: Does everyone like the RP? - Psyentific - 07-31-2016 X/H/R/T? Huh? I mean, there's plenty of derelict servers still hosted on the list. It's just that, without a big publicity campaign, they don't have the players to fill them.

Other servers don't have those basic "RP" rules, so they wouldn't work out. Almost all of then runs some mods too.

But yeah, if you, let's say buy a Titan which is a Corsair ship and you wanna go to Omicron Alpha. The Outcasts there aren't gonna be happy quite the contrary, they're gonna shoot you 'cause they're in war.
Second, the trader thingy. Yeah sure you will have to decide which faction you're gonna represent. If you don't want that you can simply buy a Freelancer ID. Easy as that. Of course that you will not be able to trade with a Bowex ID'd ship in Gallia, 'cause they're in war. And the last thing, the escorts. " I'll not find anyone that could escort me, for RP reasons, since they probably wouldn't be allowed to leave their systems." . That ain't true. If you're flying a Bowex ship, you can call a BHG for example to escort you or a Freelancer which is the best choice in my opinion. So going, "oh no, I cannot find anyone" is simply... not true, if you want to find someone to escort you, you will, trust me.

I can honestly say that I haven't read any sort of rules or character guidelines or rules to roleplaying or whatever else. I showed up with two years in SS13 roleplaying and five more in tabletop RPGs, skimmed the server rules for the bits specific to Disco (notably, IDs and engagements), spitballed a character concept or two, and dropped right in. Now I'm running a faction, RPing with a half-dozen people and lining up a few more. The most important bits are to be active on the forums and to join some kind of group.There's more to it though.
