What do you think about the Role Play in Liberty?

[BrotherBear]

First of all. This is not a flame thread, and I pray that no one makes it a flame thread. I will use some examples to get across my point, but I merely seek the opinion of others.

Lately when ever I've been in Liberty, I find a severe lack of roleplay with the lawful. There have been a few incidents where I have managed to roleplay, but that was cut short when a few other certain individuals arrived on scene.

For example. Me, alone in my Werewolf heading to a lane to pirate. I see a couple of Navy fighters on my lane, so I get talking. After a few minutes, I eventually talk them into taking a bribe and leaving. (Good RP). Before I can finalise anything however, a gunboat shows up. This gunboat is in a sub-faction of the Navy, and immediately I notice that a few more ships from this guys sub faction log on. The fighters tell him to leave, he refuses. Bang goes my roleplay with the two fighters, so I leave before the inevitable gank squad arrives.

So I go to a new system, and a new lane. Three totally unrelated ships, in a different sub-faction of the LN drop out of the lane on top of me. After saying 5 words, they open fire. One Gunboat, one Seige Cruiser confirmed. I tried to RP with them, but they simply continued to fire. No idea what the 3rd ship was, I left before I could scan it.

So I head to a 3rd system. I meet up with a lawful merc. Yes, he roleplayed a bit. But then after ending a completely unrelated sentence tries to kill me instantly.

Not a good day for a Rogue.

There have been a few occasions where I have managed long and entertaining roleplay with the Navy. I remember once I talked my way out of getting killed by 3 gunboats, a cruiser, a dread, 2 bombers and 3 fighters, whilst in a Rogue Gunboat. Now that was fun. No idea what that fleet was doing, but I got caught in the middle and talked my way out with a loss of only 50 bots.

The point is, I feel that the Lawfuls in Liberty are no longer interested in roleplay. All anyone ever wants to do is get a blue message.

What do you guys think?
