WE DID IT REDDIT!!!

[PKPower]

I really, REALLY hate to post in here again about a negative experience, but I do not think that this is acceptable from a roleplay perspective. For a faction that has already been criticized for having roleplay take a back seat position to pure capspam PvP i think this is kind of not supporive. I was being told that the Core was trying to have RP take a higher priority, but then I'm having encounters litke this one, where I stated TWICE that I do not have hostile intentions and was shot regardless.
Remember, that this post is just regarding the RP aspect of the encounter. It is obvious that the two attacking vessels just came to Omicron Kappa to shoot me. I did not have fun, and this is why:

[18.05.2016 23:42:57] Death: PRIME|Progenitor has died

Both vessels gave me enough time to react and provided sufficient roleplay. But it was also appearent that I was RPing with the present IRG vessel at the time. I just chose to not react.
In conclusion all I want to say is that the Core ruined an RP encounter and that it was not enjoyable for me.
