There are some really good ideas out there that I do agree with. I also think that somewhere in the 1.5 range is where we need to be - because player activities should have SOME influence over things, but not totally drive everything.
As has been mentioned, we aren't the only Discovery Server. I hesitate to use the 'official' tag when applied to us, that makes us sound more important that DUSA, DUK, or the others. What we do here, though, does drive what the other servers have available in the mod.
Dusty's comment has a bit of his charming and sarcastic humor in it, but fits with human nature - and also fits in, I think, with what would fit in best if we can figure out how to implement it.
Quote:Sometimes there's something that I want that the rules get in the way of. That's stupid and a major blow to server RP. We should have the freedom and responsibility to let me have the things that I want. This is an RP server afterall and RP should come before server rules.
But then a lot of other people want stuff that I think is a bad idea. No one wants to see lolwuts doing whatever they want without any governing. I mean, it doesn't even make any sense and they're always going to go for the best possible stuff without even talking to a bunch of people on skype to get favors from their friends. This is an RP server, some stuff doesn't make sense.
Unless it's stuff for me.
It's a thin line between me and you.
I also agree with Martin, but when large changes are coming, make sure that it fits in with existing RP. For example, right now in game the Order has pretty well destroyed their alliance with the Corsairs and now has new allies in the SCRA - and just to be odd about it, the BHG|Core and the Corsairs have a non-agression pact that may lead to something bigger (or not, depending on how the RP goes).
Quote:- story (as in "how" it happened, not what happened), reflected in rumors and infocards
So maybe a LITTLE of what happened as well, especially when the major official factions are leading the way on the RP, might be a good thing.
By this, I'm presuming you're referring to the destructible base idea (which would also mean that they would have to be non-dockable, if I understand the game play correctly)
Quote:- NPCs patrols/base ownership in contested non-vanilla and non-major systems - Eta, Dundee, Omega47, New Hampshire, Bremen etc.
If so, I wholly support this idea. For that matter, we really could have things in some of the vanilla systems if you can do it - that would let, for example, the RM and the LN have fun in Bering, Hudson, and maybe Texas and Hamburg during their major scripted war.
