I've always wanted to test this, that is why I started to fly around with pilots/crew. And the feeling is nice, it makes you think twice before you die since I've kind of bonded with my chars...:D
About the slavery thing. That is a nice RP especially if you have friends, since they might try to rescue you, and that might start a nice RP.
I wonder if we could somehow implement this IG. It would be awesome. Or at least to have more people open to this kind of RP.
