I am setting up a Nomad research Vessel from Liberty...

[Angelfire]

This is what I am hoping to do:

[NRI]Nick.Evans - (sister of RepEx Admin Pam Evans)

[NRI] = Nomad research institute.



It's in no way a faction. It is possibly a temporary group of researchers who take unarmed vessels (not sure what Vessel yet, needs to be able to take a beating) ...into the fringes of Nomad space and document Nomad communication and activity.



The Wild/Keeper RP is simply amazing, so besides being a Keeper, I would like to start a character that can interact on a different level. Possibly an observer for the Navy with peaceful intentions. (It would obviously be fun if there were 2 or 3 of us.)



So herewith my questions to those of you in the know.

Please keep your answers simple if you can, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed!



1) Is it acceptable within RP for a Liberty Navy research team to head into Nomad space?

2) Would the Navy be willing to escort us to and from our target destinations? (an unarmed research vessel will certainly need protection). (It would be a case of fly us there and leave us there then fetch us later).

3) Would the Wild/Keepers be ok with us attempting to study/communicate with them.. (kinda like Gorillas in the mist or something - they get angry, we back off.. eventually they kind of get used to our presence, but still chase us away now and then.)

4) Are there any players who would enjoy participating in something like this? It's a pure RP side-story that would more than likely take place mostly on the forums.

5) Would the factions involved be ok with this idea?




It's no biggy, I dont get to be in-game much so I really try to make the most of it when I can and being in a faction with people you know is not half as much fun as actually interacting with them from another angle.

(I would love to have an IC Navy Cap ship or two escorting us and discussing our finds and theories.)

It might be fun for others too.

ie. [NRI] cannot leave Liberty unescorted and will never have weapons. So people who would want to do something like this would have to prepared for pure RP.

Anyway. I look forward to your council.

PS. as usual please supplement your negative comments with positive solutions or suggestions.

I have to say, I'd love to take part in this as well. However I think you might benefit more from a Liberty Gunboat than a Spatial (Which are nice ships for exploring, have gone all around Sirius in one), so offering the Trinity for service.

Gunboat is combat-oriented. I say stick with the Spatial. If you're worried about survival, then repair ship. 4000 bots/batts can't go wrong.

1) I'd say research vessels in Alaska might be okay, but I recommend staying away from the Omicrons.

2) No escort if it's further than Alaska.

[Linkus]

Oh for protection I mean.

Im not really sure abiut this. Nomad reasearch is surely fun , Im trying to make sort of one by maself alone... Not sure about group working under Liberty jurisdiction.

Note:Congratulations for comparing Keepers to Gorrilas in the mist hehe

I buy things I don't want to make an impression on people I don't like.

[Heartless]

hey! A rival from Liberty, alright! hehe.

hit "Bs|Reliance" on my sig and there's stuff in the last 2 pages of the Bs| message dump about it.

Bs|Reliance is the order's mobile research vessel, and it's a zoner dessie because it looks like it can be a lab ship. So for liberty, maybe a cruise liner?

this will be fun, a nice rivalry, ONRP v. NRI (Order Nomad Research Project v. Nomad Research Institute of Liberty)

oh, already got some RP ideas. Like Liberty send in a small strike force to try to extract info from the Reliance and vice-versa!

I'd be interested but, eh... Heh heh... I'm not really a good "researcher" since I can't really make up data that doesn't exist. Not really that imaginative. By that I mean like what Unit did with the anatomy of a Nomad. Count me in if you'd like.

I'd say a Prison Liner would be appropriate. It's big enough to house lots of Labs and whatnot and wont take much of a beating from the Nomads. But hey, thats just me.

Anywho, I'd much like to participate if you'd have me, although I'm not sure what I could do to help... But thats up for the lead scientist to decide!:P

Prison or Luxury Liner. Either way, it would be retrofitted to house all of the necessary equipment. Maybe mount Justice turrets? :P

Whatever you decide to go with, it sounds like a great Idea. Good luck with it.

while it would not allow 'interaction' persay... one option is to petition to the admins for the character to be made of nuetral reputation to all factions, and use a nuetral ID and camera ship (which is invisible to everyone else and cannot wield weapons).

[Boss]

U.R.S.A. (Unofficial Research Squad Alpha) is also involved in the investigation of Nomadic activity. Currently there's just two of us, no [URSA] tag or anything, but we started the idea during the Delta Incident. (Kudos again Jamez, frozen, Blodo, Space, and Jinx)

If you need help, just give AlphaOne or SunBucks|Escort-GJ a holler. GJ's going to be heading for Newcastle soon from Cali.

(GJ's an escort combat AI who, after being hit with a few OS patches, now has a deep respect for the sanctity of life in all forms. Still, don't push him. He's kinda like the Iron Giant. Any guns aimed in his direction and fired are responded to with lethal force.)

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.
