(// OORP information: I played freelancer years ago and loved it. Heard about Discovery a few years ago, enjoyed playing as a trader every now and then, but I never got seriously involved because I am admittedly not a strong roleplayer, nor a skilled PvPer, so my experiences were usually to avoid player interaction at all costs. I recently reinstalled and made another new ALG trade character, and started to get a bit of that burnt-out feeling after amassing enough credits to purchase an equipped and upgraded Golem for toxic waste hauling, as well as an equipped and upgraded Behemoth for scrap mining. After reading Sindroms' thread on Police IDs, I decided to try an "independent" Rheinland Police ID'd character named Generic.Polizei.Kadett. After a study of the current Rheinland laws, mostly about contraband and restricted cargo, I set out on a few patrols of New Berlin and familiarized myself with the functions of TLAGSNET. A few hours later of scanning lawful traders and asking them for their destinations, a few failed pursuits of smugglers, and a successful forced jettisoning of some Black Market Munitions, and I don't think I've ever had more fun playing this game! So here I am, taking the next step toward increasing my comfort level with player interaction through this application to an official player faction. I hope there's a place I can fit in on the roster, and thanks for reading this! //)
