[Veracruz guides] Everything about RP in Discovery

[Battlegroup Veracruz]

RP guide - "A little bit about tools and monitoring information on the forums"
Get to know yourself and the world around you!

The main problem of the newcomer is not only the aspect of interaction with other players, but also the banal lack of knowledge. The Discovery forums are a treasure trove of RP stories, interactions of entire factions, personalities and their biographies, and much more! So why not use them for their intended purpose?

Part I - Instruments

Given its RP focus and the size of the mod itself, it would be a sin not to take advantage of the tools offered by the community. Here I will list all the things that can help you in the future game. Note that you don't have to use every one of these tools, but if you follow them, it will make your life a lot easier.

• DeepL: Analogous to Translate-Google, but with a better approach to the text. If you have any problems with your English, you can turn to this site.
  
• Google Translate: Translator that probably every one of us has used. It differs from the previous one in that it covers more languages, but does not have the same quality of translation.
  
• Discovery Wiki: A treasure trove of information about Discovery. Despite its age - this thing is still very useful.
  
• Players online: A table with the players who are on the server, their playing time and location in Sirius. If you're thinking about getting into the game and doing RP or PvP, you can always look here first.
  
• Discovery navmap: The navigation map of the mod, synchronized with the game files and displaying all objects, thereby facilitating your path in Sirius.
  

These tools are useful if you want more convenience in RP (in my opinion). Here are all the things you should use "by default" in one situation or another. There are other tools, but they depend a lot on the situation and are not often in demand.

Part II - Monitoring information on the forums

Knowledge is an ultimative force that cannot be argued with. The more you know, the more you can feel "involved" in the events of this game. These are usually sections of the forums that cover recent events in Sirius, both locally and globally.

So why is all this awareness important? Fresh information allows you to change your character's behavior depending on the situation. For example, you don't use the forums and don't know that there may be an interesting event tomorrow that all players are involved in. As a result - you miss what you came here for.

• Official and unofficial factions: Message dumps, policy information, communications, and more. Generally, unofficial and official factions use the Discovery Freelancer lore to describe themselves and their interactions with the outside world. If you see fresh posts in these two sections, try to see what's inside. It won't take long, but it will keep you up-to-date on what's going on pretty much all over Sirius. It is not necessary to check the information about those you are not interested in. For example, I don't care what happens in the trading corporations, I'd rather read 46th Fleet reports about another battle with the Insurgency.
  
• Communication channel: In fact, the connection between factions and characters in the world of Discovery. From this connection you can learn about the "plans" of other players in Sirius, even guess what will happen in the near future. Fresh information was always good to have, and in this case it represents the current layout of events in Sirius.
  
• Stories and biographies: Stories of the characters and their interactions with each other at the level of the text forum RP. As a rule, you won't check every story (and you shouldn't have to) - it's more an opportunity to "spot-check" the events of a particular faction and the people in it. Like, for example, here or here.
  
• Server events: Interesting events in which you can learn new information about the factions that interest you and even the further development of their plot! In some of them you can take part and even influence something! In fact, you can take part wherever you find it interesting: you don't have to be a plug in every hole.
  
• Patch notes: Major changes in the world of Discovery created by the development team. Among them are very frequent plot twists, so keep an eye out for that first. I didn't post this first item because a new patch doesn't happen as often as a new event between player factions, for example.
  
• Devs-news and player-news: Global RP news, occurring both on behalf of ordinary players and on behalf of Discovery's developers. Like patches-they can serve as either a big change in history or just an interesting new event for all of Sirius to look forward to.
  

It all seems complicated at first glance, but, in fact, the rate of updates to each section is not that high, so you can stay up to date without even getting burned out by it. Keep your eye on the table on the right for the most recent posts or changes. It's a lot easier than studying each section separately and wasting your time (you don't have to do that, these are just the sections you need to pay attention to).
