Long time Vanilla player returning for a new experience. First time in multiplayer Freelancer, let's see how it goes I'll try not to shoot every hostile on sight like I used to in single player...
Welcome to Discovery - friend (your soul is stuck here now forever), familiarize yourself with house roleplay laws, server rules and some handy tutorials if you haven't already. If you have any questions you can either ask them in shoutbox on forums or in our discord server which is pretty alive.

While this is correct (although looking at other member RP posts isn't necessary) don't let a lack of previous roleplay experience intimidate you Shar00m. RP is really simple and serves to enhance immersion for yourself and those you meet in the game.
When flying online, roleplay can be as simple as avoiding terms like "lol" or "xD" and mentioning real life topics such as politics, video games, celebrities, sports etc.
Basically if a game character wouldn't say it, you should not say it.
One really useful thing for new players to know is starting off messages with // to indicate an out of roleplay message. We like to keep the local chat clear of it, but if you're struggling to understand a concept, you can message the other player directly asking for help. Most people would welcome the chance to answer a few questions for a new player. Well, the people worth knowing would, at any rate.
If you see an Orbital Spa and Cruise liner out and about, feel free to say hi, unless you're here to pirate us, of course!
