And yeah, I agree that our activity is not dependant on the RP quality.
That's why I try to add more diversity to XA activity.
Xenos are basically a pvp faction. As such, it suffers badly on the RP field.
I don't mind lawfuls engaging us with little to no inRP discussions. That's their job. That's their RP.
We could kill all the traders in Colorado and call it RP. But what's the point? It's not hard to kill a trader. It's not hard to drop a "die foreigner" line before engagement.
What is hard is to create some consistent reasoning that drives us.
And while you're absolutely right that not all the xenos would be smart, many of us are RPing more or less smart people. Others are executing orders of - what can I say - smart commanders.
XA is a paramilitary, highly structurised organisation. You can't expect 'em to behave chaotically.
