Polizei Feedback

[Klaus Lange]

Hello all, I returned after nearly 2 weeks of absence and I see terrible things: we are going into direction of KSP - straight to disbanding. We need more members, more activity and more support. Especially from Military...
I'm quoting:

"GOALS

1. Assist in the safe import and export of legal goods to and from Rheinland.

2. Maintain a safe and secure Rheinland through crime prevention and prosecution.

3. Suppress civilian rebel groups including the Volksfront (VF) and Landwirtrechtbewegung (LWB).

4. Ensure space communication channels are used appropriately and free from encrypted or spy transmissions.

DAILY ACTIVITIES

1. Provide police escort to transport ships coming from Bretonia to Rheinland, Liberty to Rheinland (passengers only), and Rheinland to other systems. A police escort is not an option for the trader to decline, its Rheinland law.

2. Stop and interrogate ships who might have been a witness to or involved in any criminal activity. This activity requires the development of fun and creative detective role-play in game and in the forums.

3. Arrest on sight all members of the Volksfront and LWB. If they resist arrest, use all necessary force to remove them from civilian sectors.

4. Confiscate and destroy all illegal cargo. Fine the pilot of the ship (see fines below). If they flee or resist arrest, destroy the ship and tractor in the escape pod.

5. Monitor the system channel for spy and encrypted transmissions. Spy transmissions typically begin with // or contain the letters lol. See below for more information on how to handle spies.

6. Assist the Rheinland Military as needed."


Are we able to fill at least half of our duties listed above? We're not.
I know, server is unbalanced as hell, unlawfuls are more numerous than House Polices and Armed Forces, but why I'm asking? Of course, it's at least strange, how pirates and revolutionaries can be better organized, prepared and have same or better equipment than deadly cutting-edge technology from Military? We have to have something more than usually Police work to offer players, we have to offer them awesome Role Play. I'm not saying we're roleplaying wrong, I'm saying we have to improve our Role Play by increasing activity and effectiveness in Polizei duty. last time I jumped from NB to Stuttgart, 3 of AGS-U waited near Gate. " Eins,Zwei,Drei, Polizei! " Ca. half minute later I was killed. I was alone, now imagine how skirmish could ended if another Mjolnir was here. I'm playing since November in Disco, and I'm still rookie in dogfight. We also need regular training sessions, we can train with RM if necessary. Another idea is creating duty hours thread in RFP section. Every week/month we should write when we can be online as policeman/policewoman, something like: " Lange, I'll be online Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday, between 7 and 9 p.m. GMT time ". I know it'll let pirates know when RFP is offline and harass traders, but it'll also let know others when they can be relatively safe in Rheinland. I thought also on RFP raids on O-54 system and others (yes!), but 1st we have to gain more members and appropriate train them. It should be mandatory or at least highly advised to every RFP member to use his/her signature as advert of RFP on forum. I'm not going to tell anyone how his (or her) signature and profile should look, but it can greatly help RFP in gaining new members. I've hope. Make also in RFP section thread " civilian vigilance " when civilians and corporates ( also from other Houses ) could report encountered law violators. RFP duty officer will decide is it really violation of law and add to Criminal Database or not. Well, what about payment system? I suppouse it's suspended due to roleplay, poor, chaotic Rheinland, right?
If yes, what do you think about change of law? Let's allow hard-working RFP members transport confiscated contraband to station/planets for studying by Polizei technicians/scientists, don't just destroy it, they could be rewarded for such transportation... If not, create Rheinland Supply Divison ( or something like that, possibly in cooperation with RM ), for: 1st, earning credits for Arsenal, 2nd, supplying RFP and RM bases in Rheinland, other factions ( e.g. Zoners ) are routinely transport essential commodities like Water, Food Rations, and more to their bases and report it on forum. Rheinland stations and battleships are not in need of such supplies? It'll greatly improve our roleplay. Proposed combined faction: Rheinland Supply Division, RSD tag. RSD-P(olizei) and RFP ID for us and RSD-M(ilitary) RM ID for Nightmares of Manhattanities.
Until time when we will have more members, RM High Command could dispatch us some pilots to help in Polizei work... Such "borrowed" pilots should be subordinate to RFP duty officer.

Better do something with Rheinland, or entire House with great RP chances will be addition to RHA...
Create Rheinland Bundestag RP subforum in Rheinland section, parliament members elected ( or nominated ) from each Rheinland lawful faction and let's do policy! Of course all in strictly roleplay.



What do you think about it all?
