I'd like to see less ***this sort of RP*** and more articulate and thought-provoking RP about the nomad and the human condition.
Generally from nomads, I'd like to see less RP that's like "I'm so superior to you, human, and you're so totally inferior to me (laughs), and oh my god do I feel so much better than lowly humans." It's kind of silly.
I must admit I havent met a nomad and wild in a long time though, so don't know if they're still like that atm.
Why? The name is fine, its as good as every other name, though since Phantoms appear to be free at the moment...
I agree with you on the 'normal' language being used for RP (at least if its not on Scorpions, they are mindless killer drones after all).
The nomad and the human condition, however is a bit of a problem, as the nomad RP-wise is in charge of every aspect of the human, there might be rare cases where the control hasnt been established fully or where the nomad allows the human some freedom, but I'd rather not have every Wild as a special snowflake. Most of them are human bodies controlled by an evil alien hiding inside, which considers your death to be its ultimate goal.

Fly without any nomad equipment except their own ID ofc, hybrid guns can be explained as "advanced adapteds", and obviously not complain "how do u kno im a wild!!!?!?!?!?!?!?" when they have obvious nomad/hybrid infected on their ship.
Sadly even fully human loadouts do not help against 'red is dead'.

Nowadays I just see them pewing in Delta like any other faction could do. If a faction wants to be so special that it basically closes its recruitment only for the best of the best (Looking at @Das Wilde), then please try to be special as well.
About Aoi, I would like to see less obvious "We are infected" RP than the other times I've been interacting with you guys. I proposed to help with RP but got denied 2 times.
Its not about being special, its about giving out quasi-terrorist IDs to people that can be trusted to not abuse them.

I'd give Wilde totally new role: taking care about battles turn to massacres.
I imagine Nomads wouldn't waste captured human ships, if they can put infected people in. That people would be able to use neural nets. They would know about battles in far away systems and could come to make sure more people would die. They'd fight for weaker side and make sure heavy losses would be on both sides. After battle they would be allowed to finish survivors.
How to make right ID and IFF for that? I have no idea.
We have a very similar view here From a gameplay perspective I try to 'aid' the side that seems to be losing first, so that everyone can have some fun. The ID gives the necessary freedom to do this, so it doesnt really need an update.

I was a feldwebel, and met a wild that started to RP as a officer of the [RM]. It was a nice and long RP, where we ended up him convincing my wing that I was the infected one, and they took me down and RP to arrest me. We got jokes about the "infected feldwebel" in RM chat for weeks. It was a really fun and nice RP. We wrote for like a hour before the wilde ship started shooting at me.
As for the ID, just make the ID's OORP and the IFF inRP. Make the ID as guidelines, so other players know what they can do with the ID and IFF. This way, many things can be avoided. Especially the Das Wilde ID and no IFF or BDM or RM IFF. Always thought IFF should be the one inRP, does not make much sense for someone to be able to scan someone's ship and see what faction the said person was in. There is no sci fi movie or show that has ID's, only IFF's, or transponder.
That might have been me back then, the problem with this kind of RP is, that we got told by the Admins back then, that we should not do this, as it makes people violate ID lines. If people play along and everyone has fun then this is no problem, but as soon as someone reports it we would be the ones in trouble. Thats a risk we cant calculate and thus wont take too lightly (considering that some people rather report people in their own ingame group for swearing instead of just telling them to stop).
Having access to different IFFs and getting rid of the 'IDs are inRP' rule would definitely be helpful.
What I would like to see more, are bigger RP things (and people playing along with events that might unfold because of them), eventually having influence on the storyline (for example the Rheinland/Bretonia war). Right now it is rather tricky to get people involved or even to play along, as there is nearly no impact for those things.
