Konnichiwa honourable player, welcome to the Kusari Naval Forces!

This player handbook will introduce some of the basic things you should know before sitting in your cockpit and fight for the Emperor.
For this should be a fast read, this document will keep a simple approach but it is still valid that you should take some time to read all pinned

Action Reports


Quality and quantity of the reports posted is one of the predominant factors that have weight when it comes to assign rank promotions.
Before starting to write reports please reserve some time to familiarize with the process, eventually looking at already present contents as an example.
If you are having any trouble with writing reports (general questions, language issues, etc) or have any doubt always inform high officers about it.

The Perfect Blossom Tea

During a period of close relations with Interspace Commerce,
the Perfect Blossom Tea House and Gin Joint was opened on Roppongi Station for the sole use of Naval, Police, and House Pilots.
In past decades, off-duty Naval pilots would often get together to regale each other with tales of glorious battles.
While not required, Officers are encouraged to socialize with fellow pilots. You will fight harder for a brother than for a friend.

Console Commands and Chat macros

Using an external tool (input devices macros, other Freelancer mods) to gain advantage on other players is not allowed but, using server integrated technology is.
The Official Discovery RP Server 24/7 do feature some useful tools, console commands and chat macros are not only very useful, but even essential as they can potentially save precious seconds during a battle/encounter where all seconds count.
Few examples.
It is possible to invite every online member of your faction (thus sharing your location on their scanners) by pressing only few buttons instead of many more.
Characters can be transferred from an account to another using a console command.
Be sure to check them out!

How to prevent weapon groups from resetting

As I felt this to be a huge problem during my freelancer experience and as it seems rather hard to find an answer to this in any faq (unless I missed it),
I wanted to post the solution so to prevent other people to have this same frustrating issue.

Weapons groups will reset when your ship dock with station/planet/base/stationary bs (not trade lanes) with a different group than group 1 activated.
So to prevent weapon groups from resetting you just have to dock with group 1 activated. That's all.
