I've been pirated by you guys since the "King Rorry of Sigma-13" days, and I always enjoyed it. I think it is a positive with a proper die-hard all-out pirating faction, that taxes traders and ore haulers the way they should be taxed. Also there are a lot of caps in Rheinland in general, and I think it is somewhat positive for those pilots who can seperate their trader characters from their RM characters to have some nice gunboats to shoot at.
I do have to say I've yet to see an RR in anything other than a gunboat. And I can't talk for anyone but me, but with this glorious turretzoom feature, fighting GBs in snubs is about as enjoyable as eating gravel.
Rheinland is the one place that is now less fun to be in than it was before I left. Doubt it's the fault of RR, but you'd want to be a positive influence in this situation right.
Why friendly to the Corse? I'm not exactly sure of the reasoning behind this.
The Corse certainly wouldn't be blatantly hostile, but they certainly distrust known allies of the Outcasts, and if memory serves well, you also attempt to disrupt the Artefact trade, the newest boom of the Corse alongside Nox, a drug which they openly fight Outcasts over to keep their supremacy in the Gallic market. The have to tolerate the fact the Brigands are buddies with the Outcasts, but made it clear that they'd try to break free from their Brigand influence as soon as possible.
They also have several understandings with the GRP and are Pro-Royalist in general.
The Corse is also on good terms with the Gaians (though there is a bit of tension between the two), which you list as unfriendly.
Would love to see the ID and techmix nerf settings you plan to submit. You've got the same issues as the LE: You want to be both a "lets own the Gallic Royals" faction and a "Lets pirate the Rheinlanders" faction all at once. Those ZOIs aren't anywhere close to eachother, and those faction roles are incompatible.
If you want to be folk who pirate against Rheinland use Unioner or Hessian tech instead and discard all the Gallic bullcrap your faction is loaded with. If you want to be an anti-royalist raiding band, drop the "olol we'll go raid those silly Rheinlanders in Gallic funboats" MO you've been using.
Doing both is just silly, and in my eyes a blatant attempt to use weak roleplay to get around the techchart/techmix nerf. Ascos do not belong in Rheinland. Period. Any excuse you make up for that is just that, an excuse. Use Heimdals instead.

First i am not going to answer all of your feedbacks. I will leave some to Caleb. *gg*

The point that you are using most gunboats is just making many Rheinland players to buy themselfs caps to counter you and that is sad concidering how much time we needed to made people fight in snubs instead.
Seriously you do not add anything good to Rheinland at all.
I wouldnt say we dont add anything good to Rheinland. I think we increase the activity of RM/RFP/BDM a lot. And you are right. Lawfuls should shoot Pirates. But if you cant win just say: "Leave bla bla". In the most cases we will do it.
Instead of using 4 Caps to counter 4 Gbs just bring 4 Gbs. Its cheaper, fairer and the chance of killing all of us are much higher (Since Rheinland Gbs are really really powerfull and got 360° CD).

Next time we will just demand his whole cargo. Problem solved (sarcasm /off)
And 8mio Credits arent too much for 5k Nobium Ore...

Actually we got some good fighter/Bomber pilots too. But we mostly use Gbs you are right. Easy answer Counter Gbs with Gbs or like IMG did 6 bombers.
I already posted something that AD just sayed as well. Ill tell what I see in RRs in my eyes:
-they made very big ZOI for pirate faction. but not small for Merc faction. still they are both of them. pirating in Rheinland, Mercing Sairs in Omicrons/Omegas, pewing Gallics everywhere. simply use of most populated areas and most hated factions.
-they have veryvery large amount of different tech and ships. RP or not this is just wish to get PvP advantage. OC, LR, Gallic civil, Brigand, Council, Order and even Corsair tech. isnt that much?
-they have as Hostiles Corsairs, Gallics and Rhenilanders
1) Corsairs: I think this is just wish to pew most hated faction that have almost no allies. Sairs are large in numbers yes, but most of them noobs and indies. also numereous allies on RR side to ''raid Gamma''
2) GRN are same as Corsairs. Many enemies and no allies. So RR can pew GRN and expect almost everyone to aid them in this.
3) RM also consists of many newbies and capspammers. So its also easy target for PvP. At least most of time
-they pirating in most populated area with lot of Ore traders. Omega 3/7, whore Rheinland, Sigmas and some Border worlds full of traders. So not surprising them not around Kusari or Liberty.
-also this double role of Mercs and Pirates. I dont remember non-official faction can use 2 IDs, but I can be wrong, for sure. Only one faction that same I know is Mollys, but they are official.
-RR made large of forum RP to collect as many thing they can. Im sure some of this were made due to ''friendship'' between players (Im still dont see why AFA gived tech to them when RR shoots Sairs with it). but wait... thats how things works actually. at least as I know. but nevermnd
-lack of respect to players and fair PvP. but as I already sayed about it before that
-and some more I dont wish to say right now
I dont have anything against players in RR but way most of them acting is makes me :wacko:. right now RR faction is 100% based on PvP, which I dont approve in factions
Hello JayDee,
first thanks for your criticism.
But i think some - (the most arguments are invalid).
Quote:they made very big ZOI for pirate faction. but not small for Merc faction. still they are both of them. pirating in Rheinland, Mercing Sairs in Omicrons/Omegas, pewing Gallics everywhere. simply use of most populated areas and most hated factions.
Big pirate ZoI ?
At the moment we just have Rheinland as our pirate zone. Our Merci zone is a bit bigger. But not as big as other Factions. (As exampe Corsairs have more or less whole Rheinland, Bretonia, Sigmas, Omegas and Omicrons).
Quote:Corsairs: I think this is just wish to pew most hated faction that have almost no allies. Sairs are large in numbers yes, but most of them noobs and indies. also numereous allies on RR side to ''raid Gamma''
Well, Corsairs have good -really good- ships against Gunboat squads (Heavy bomber, fighter, very heavy GB, Cruiser with powerfull Weapons). And to be honest they have better pilots as it may looks like.
Quote:2) GRN are same as Corsairs. Many enemies and no allies. So RR can pew GRN and expect almost everyone to aid them in this.
Okay, cant say much about it, since i rarely hunt something there.
Quote:3) RM also consists of many newbies and capspammers. So its also easy target for PvP. At least most of time
definitively wrong.
RM/RFP have some really good bomber pilots. Fanir~ Gb killer.
Well, i dont like 2te but some of them are really good Cruiser/Bs pilots.
Quote:also this double role of Mercs and Pirates. I dont remember non-official faction can use 2 IDs, but I can be wrong, for sure. Only one faction that same I know is Mollys, but they are official.
We use 2 generic ID's so its okay.
Quote:(Im still dont see why AFA gived tech to them when RR shoots Sairs with it).
Once we had 2 AFA bombers. As far as i know they dont exist anymore.
Quote:-lack of respect to players and fair PvP. but as I already sayed about it before that
I think Knjaz said something about it already.
By the way thanks Knjaz!
