' Wrote:Unfortunately, they do have that appearance quite often.
Keepers, Phantoms, most people given Terrorist ID. It just seems like an excuse to use the best of everything and be pvp whores. I see little RP from any of them, with the exception of The Phantoms when they are in Gamma.
This is not a complaint or flame. Just my own observations.
' Wrote:Phantoms not RP'ing? Well, generally we get attacked before we can even make our move. Besides, its not like we go slaughtering all that often, is it?
I've never seen a phantom before, and never seen a Keeper in my ship, just on comms screen. It helps keep the mysterious element for both factions. Both have a fearsome reputation and the RP for both is amazing. Anyone who disagrees, well how would you RP a Nomad or terrorist? Nomads- a telapathic race that is striving to eliminate a invading race from their masters domain. If you think about it we are the invaders not them. In the SP missions Trent describes them as the house keepers (reason for faction name?) for the Don Kavosh- their masters. When we arrived from Sol we were invading their masters territory and they are repelling us, no instinctive hatred, just following orders. Well- I suppose there was instinctive hatred as soon as we fought back and started taking them out. Especialy when Trent re-activated the Hyper-gate and wiped out a city, possibly killing squishy civillians, if there are such a thing...
Anyhow, about keepers attacking traders, that got me thinking, will they attack Neutral IDs as well? Or those carrying Nomad guns but not carrying Nomad brains or engaging nomad/keeper ships? Because I heard someone saying the guns could be man-made synthetics mimicing Nomad tech in order to replicate results, or am I being crazy? meh, either way I'm not sure how anyone could critisize the Keepers for anything (the outside ZoI woories me though)
