[Omicron]

1. Describe your first RP encounter/s.

Well... first I actually remember was interacting with Helo, who I still owe some 15 millions for Albatros transport. Later I enlisted to 100% Polish Zoner group (membership wise, all could speak English) PC - Pionieer Corporation

2. What were your first five ships?
I was doing missions, vanilia style when I got Dragon heavy fighter and reached Tau 23, where I encountered Colonial Remnant official faction. Blame them for my first two million credits earned.

Quickly bought an Eagle, was semi-lolwutting until I was dragged into Order (by Helo again). After some time, I had Zoner Whale, Nephthys and Sekhmet bomber. It did not took long when I became proud owner of Osiris.

3 Keeper Marduks taught me to buy actual armor.

3. When did you reach your first billion credits?

Omega-49 -> Omicron Minor
deuterium - iridium route, accomplished with Zoner Whale.

4. What were your first unofficial/official factions you've joined?
TOP (Order protectors) which I quickly ragequit. Was ranted at by Kelt the drunk master. After hanging out with few Order vets (Kell "Dark Bunny Lord" Tainer and Jeremy Hunter), I was convinced to join Order| by Eriksson. Birdtalon was leader then. Now I am the one.

5. What do you miss the most?
Just the people.

1. Describe your first RP encounter/s.

It was so long ago I actually can't remember. I'd imagine it would involve my LPI and a [insert pirate/trader/smuggler/random passerby here]

First was my LPI LIbby, which I later swapped for an eagle. Then it was a gull transport, then an LPI Havok and an Outcast falcata.

Never have. I've just spent it all on ships/armour etc.

4. What were your first unofficial/official factions you've joined?

Official: LPI- when I very first started
Unofficial: Either the [ATA] (Armed Traders Association), or the .:BW:. (Buffalo Wing, which was later merged into the LR-).

The people and atmosphere of the past.

I'm just a poor boy , I need no sympathy.

4. What were your first unofficial/official factions you've joined?
first unofficial faction was the 4k , if that can be called a faction.
I have no idea why or what , I do remember that it was shortlived after admin warning and war with TBH ( a fellow corsair faction who were so stupid and bossy and bla bla )

5. What do you miss the most?

Cliché but what I miss the most is the people.
Even the old ''enemies'' got a special place in my memories.
[ToP] was great. I miss that the most I guess.

[Slainte]

I cant remember most of the things you ask but i will always remember my first night in Disco.......
After some very fine malt ( quite a lot actually ) i found myself reminising about Freelancer so i went online and found Discovery.
Logged in and ran around for 20 minutes or so untill i ran into ( literaly :-) ) Trev and Bacon flying Gateway Ships.
After a little chat i joined and those two great guys had me set up in a trade ship ready to roll, well, after taking ages to get my Gateway bribes as i was really very drunk and rp'd out having a party with free drinks at the bar on Manhattan !!! least i think it was Manhattan :-)

And the rest, as they say, is history!!

[Eduard]

1. Describe your first RP encounter/s.

It was back in my first days, I remember it was shortly after I learned not to speak romanian in the local chat using smileys (if you remember a Morbium_Angrjum with lawl sindrom speaking an unknown language it was me) , anyway, it was shortly after that, I tagged a lot of times with my friend John who also told me about this community and also helped me with the ropes a lot. We used to RP a lot and this and that. But the first RP encounter (with other players as well) was when we two managed to get ourselves on a patrol with a rhotakian and another order guy (we were order) which I still miss even at this moment hoping that he may come back one day.
It was lulzy, we were minding our own business killing nomads (NPCs) here and there, patrolling systems while the rhotakian was eating nomad spaggetti sushi farting all the time. Hilarious
In the meantime I got into serious RP mode and dropped the noob mode and so I renamed my ship to Forlorn.d'Autoine

2. What were your first five ships?

Starflier, Nephtys, Bastet, Hathor, Wraith

3. When did you reach your first billion credits?

Never (I am a lazy arse)

4. What were your first unofficial/official factions you've joined?

141| , then [RM] , then [77th] , later DSE| . Today: GRN| and WHB| and still flying in 141|

5. What do you miss the most?

The atmosphere which was back then, some people, the activity, the Order breakouts in Alaska and Omicron Minor being a highway point between so many factions.

King Eduard is the greatest

[Landers]

Describe your first RP encounter/s.
Well, that was long time ago. I guess it was in Omicron Gamma with some Corsairs when the BHG showed up for a fight. Also there were some nice RP encounters in Alpha, which were my first RP experiences here. The most memorable RP encounters were in Rheinland with the [RM] and the unlawfuls when I was flying around on my RM indie.

What were your first five ships?
Titan, Praetorian, Sabre, Corsair GB, Adv. Train

When did you reach your first billion credits?
I think I've never reached.

What were your first unofficial/official factions you've joined?
My first official faction was the [RM]. Later on, I visited [RHA], so I was a Rheinland player and still is.

What do you miss the most?
The great fights in Texas. Those who were around three years ago, know what I'm talking about. And also the old Rheinland with it's playerbase.

[Thunderer]

1. Describe your first RP encounter/s.

Uh... A bit hard to remember... But I think I can do it.
It was a few months less than 2 years ago. Omicron Delta system, space near that Freeport, whatever the number is. I am flying my trusty Bullhead, probably one of the last times before I sold her in order to buy that ship on my sig quicker. A Corsair cruiser appears. Both of us were quite new, but we did manage to do some RP. Maybe not appropriate for our chars' factions, but it was joyful. We were talking about how war is bad, how we could be powerful and happy if we united, how our leaders force us to fight each other for reasons we don't deem make sense, etc...

2. What were your first five ships?

1) Starflier;
2) Civilian Shuttle, that little thing which looked like Kadesh scout/interceptor from Homeworld 1. Its shape also resembled of goat poo, so I called it like that.
3) Garanchou, the GMG freighter. She looked like Kushan defender from Homeworld back then. I adored her - all those class 8s + 9.5k armor + freighter shield hardpoint for only 211k credits. Nice for mission grinding. Yes, I remember it all. I think those were maybe my best times here. Garanchou is so ruined today. No offense to Jinx, she looks decent.
4) Percheron - I was sad to sell my Garanchou, but I still wanted to have only one character. I can't remember why. Anyways, the Perch didn't disappoint me, it was quite the opposite. I even went to Gallia with her, I wanted to buy L'Ane. But the ID didn't allow me, so I returned and bought my next ship.
5) Atlas, the IMG transport. She had 4100 cargo, a lot of hull, and all that for a price only slightly greater than L'Anne's, I think it was 55-60 mil. I made my first screenshot with her. She was the way to buy my old Bullhead, my first cap ever.

3. When did you reach your first billion credits?

Err... Did you say "billion"? If so, I never made a billion on one character. If you meant "million", it was on my Garanchou, about 2 years ago.

4. What were your first unofficial/official factions you've joined?

The first faction I ever joined was the Northern Bretonian 13th Fleet. It was frowned upon and exiled from Bretonia at the end, a month after I left, but it was a good school.
The first official faction I've joined is BAF|.

5. What do you miss the most?

The times of no player bases, cloaks, etc. Also the old Garanchou. And the nice, easy trade route from planet Leeds (refugees) to planet New London (basic alloy). It's the reason why I started to like Bretonia. Oh, and most important, I quite miss that feeling of mystery towards space. I knew little about the systems I never visited outside SP, so traveling trough them was a joy.

1. Describe your first RP encounter/s.
2. What were your first five ships?
3. When did you reach your first billion credits?
4. What were your first unofficial/official factions you've joined?
5. What do you miss the most?

1) Dont exactly remember. Probably, some mercs/pirates/police/BAF in Dublin.
2) Rhino, Armored Transport, Hegemon, Titanic, Orca. But my first ever "non-newbie" ship, that would stay with me afterwards, would be Hegemon, called Vityaz (Essentially same as character's name)
3) In... a second week of mining, I think, was saving up for my first ever Cau8.
4) EDGE and, later on, CR. (both =CR= and CR|- ). Also infamous =2te=. Otherwise, always preferred to stay indie, since I didnt like flying snubs.
5) Vityaz Hunt (one of my chars) EDGE days, especially during IMG contract in Taus (although, paperwork part for each blown up OCie was horrible), Dublin Goldrush, FACE gamma/alpha raids, and war against Hessians with RM. Short =CR=/CR|- period as well. But there're many more things I've enjoyed on the server. So, with exception of Taus/Dublin period, I still manage to get as much fun as before.
