I know, the threads have been scrapped. Will re-attatch them as soon as they have been re-made.

As some of you no doubt have noticed, the Liberty Rogues are returning to our 4.84 roots as highly aggressive pirates. For some people, this might seem difficult to cope with and feedback for certain bad encounters is welcome. Thank you.
(03-23-2015, 01:36 PM)The Liberty Rogues Wrote: {AFC} - 10 000 000$ Only Claimable via Missile/Torpedo-Kills. Use gunboat or SHF. LR-Torpedo Wing is eligible for this bounty.
So why is it legit specified GB and SHF against a Snub-based faction?
Because roleplay consequences. Look at your reply to the comm we sent from an IRP point of view and just imagine what happens if you said that to a bad man's face.
Honestly, I was thinking of making a very snappy reply to you about it, but I decided against it. That is all that is to it. You know the saying yourself. Talk poopy, get hit.
Ok so I had a very different encounter with one of your Torpedo wing members and I just wanted to say it was good to see them RPing their character as a loony and then suicide torpedo running my ship it was so consistent really different and enjoyable. Even though they wiped me out I couldn't stop laughing for like 10 minutes.
Well, just Imagine what happens when you shoot people at a Gas station. You get hunted, and for sure you are not going to get to come back to that gas station. Keep on pissing all over the Ames NFZ, and one day you could have your docking rights to Zoner Bases taken away. Heck, all rogue factioons and indie rogues could loose access cause of your factions repeated NFZ violations. Who knows? RP consequences and all ......right?
About the Bounty on the AFC...
Lets take the progression in steps...shall we...
This Happened ingame, right next to Ames Research Station...like less than 150 meters.

So, wanting to kinda know what was up with the "NewRouges", I went looking for a feedback thread but could not find one, so I posted
So the next morning I see this gravedig, where it sounds like you are wanting to get a rubber stamp on access to NT, with out taking into consideration all the things that have changed since that thread started. http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread...pid1660889
So, now there happens to be a discussion about, under what circumstances can a House Pirate faction can expand into another Houses systems. Which I think is positive. You I suspect think otherwise.
(The reasoning you use, by the way, in that thread made no sense and sounded more like Blackmail than anything else. --we are forced to rp aggressive pvp oriented pirates to keep our members happy becouse there are no high credit trade routes in our ZOI and that is why we need to expand to NT-- To me that sounds like, ---give us NT and we will stop being such hardasses ingame---. I kept my answers in that post to what the OP specified, but here I dont mind telling ya what I thnk. What you thought you might get easy, now may take some time and it pissed you off.)
Basically putting your spin on things, but not even close to the ingame reality, and then you posted the 10mill bounty on the AFC.
It is pretty transparent to me that the bounty on AFC is partly for OORP reasons.
Regardless, this whole thing has generated much needed activity in that part of space, and that is positive.
What will be negative, is if you play your new rogue faction so aggresively that no one wants to play with you, or go near that part of space. You can be so good a being bad that no one comes around your corner of the sandbox.
The "Join or Die" style of RP...sure ...could be valid.....You offer.....I decline.....POST A FORUM BOUNTY..... so now there is a price on my head, maybe I reconsider and join...Taking out a motionless freighter 50 meters from a freeport that you are camping at requieres no skill at all, as a pilot or as a roleplayer.
I have enough sodium chloride in my diet, I do not need yours. You have no idea at this point how many people you are amusing, so please, just save yourself the humiliation and stop posting.
I couldn't care less what happened to your dinky little freighter. You were given a demand, you refused, you were shot.
As far as AFC goes, they were given a comm introduction because I frankly never had the chance to interact with them on my LR character so far, but their reply was less than friendly.
So now we are going to shoot their faces in, until that attitude changes.
As far as the expansion topic goes, it was brought up, because I honestly wanted to know if this was still a thing or not. If you look at the current activity chart and filter out all the trading/mining factions, their routes are way out of our ZOI and that is a big downer, since activity breeds activity and most active traders at this point are flying those ships.
I want my faction members to have nice things and that is why I am currently pushing on a series of changes to make the faction and the ID itself more appealing for both vets and new members. I was speaking to the admin team about it and the thread you linked to was brought up. I did not know whether or not this would require us to use a Faction Perk (Which I would rather use to fix our tech cell, because we do not get neither civs or BW at 100%, which is kinda derp), but I decided to make the discussion public to see if it would actually be interesting for both sides.
As far as NFZ goes, the NFZ is an RP term, not a server rule. Something a lot of people forget about. The ship that shot you, by the way, was hostile to the Zoners at the time of the engagement, by the way. Feel free to report this to the Zoners, as it would make sense in RP. That would be your choice and our RP consequences.
So yes, this is how it goes. If you have more questions, I will answer them.
