This is just me thinking but... engagment rules.... what if less?

So you're chilling in your LN ship outside Houston right having a chat with a freelancer, suddenly a RM ship comes out of the lanes and starts shooting you, depending on his/your ship maybe even insta killing you.
Fun? I think not

You'd need to be some sort of a pvp god to manage living more than 2 minutes under houston with the planet, battleship and huntsville firing at you at the same time.

Random example, but you get the idea

Lol guys read my whole OP.

But yeah I often hear "write the two lines so we can engage"
Like wow GREAT rp there bro.

This is an rp server but why would you lower yourself to crap rp to fight?

Why would we force crap rp from people that just want to have a little fun?

First of all love the sig

Second, well try putting things this way, you just want to have fun , shooting your enemy and you find it dull to RP before, but maybe your opponent WANTS to RP, maybe that is why he is playing HERE on a RP server. Plus a couple of lines gives enough time to your enemy to figure out what is going on, who is attacking him, what ship he's using etc. Why would you find it fun to go all guns blazing without even saying a word on a dude that just undocked for example.
And also crap RP? Who decides that? One man's crap is another man's treasure.

And most importantly is WHY would you not want to RP on a RP SERVER?
RP is life no?
or so i've heard

It's called relaxed roleplay server.

Stay in conn you pvpwhore.

Personally I prefer if there's either good RP or none at all.

You don't have to utter a word to act appropriately.

Well I'll save the rhetoric about it being an RP server. I'd say it'll never change just to keep things simple and on the safe side, meaning we go with what we already know gets us along. It would be nice if people could get a heads up if they SRP'd such an ID parameter for themselves that it might not be a waste of time, but I suppose people can always try for that on a case by case basis. However I always keep a detailed list of set messages. My RP prior to piracy or bounty hunting is usually quite sufficient since it's laid out in advance and only requires a /l0 or /l1 etc etc for the basics, like when you're trying to stop a ship and spit out sensible RP at the same time. After that I like to get into more detail, if there's time to. Especially for bounty hunting, as it stands, have a set message set up, and drop your /l# and after a few seconds can pretty much go in blazing...which is about the same simplicity as 'engaging' but at least your set message can be a statement that makes sense RP wise and has a bit more information in it.

Exactly.
This place is so devoid of RP that I find it hard to even log. At all. And besides, say you were in a really interesting RP with a Navy officer on your Rogue, for example.

Bounty Hunter comes: "engaj target!!!!!!!!!!"

Your RP is ruined.

Discovery doesn't have any form of "fun" going foe it at the moment. If people were forced to RP less then this server would die immediately, because all of the people getting killed by the millions of Battleships that engagebug pirates on sight.

Urgh, actually- scratch that. Razor Scyllas everywhere.

[Jack_Henderson]

RPing before engagement helps with one aspect: It forces players to think whether the attack makes sense in roleplay.

The harder you have to rp to have a reason for an engagement, the more likely you are doing something wrong/edgy.
