I made this for feedback on my Zoner Academy RP idea. Id like to know what you all think of it, and how I can improve it.
Let me say this first. The Zoner Academy is not a faction, its just my RP idea. It is not a academy for zoners, its a floating orphanage that takes in zoner children and trains them for life as a zoner.
The RP idea behind this idea is to give new players a free ship and starting credits to begin as a zoner. When they take the ship it means they were a orphan that grew up on the ship. I thought this was a cool unique RP idea that could be fun for everyone.
The second RP idea behind it is to (hopefully if the Zoner factions play along) is allow these new players that have a Academy background a step up in looking at there application to join them (as RP wise they were trained specifically in the zoner ways)
Third: As the Academy has many graduates (NPC wise) It allows some to stay and work with the Academy, this allows for the Academy News Network (as some work as reporters)
And finally: The last idea is to allow any existing zoner player that may be board playing a indie zoner (lets face it, it can be boring playing a zoner indie, there is not much to do if your not in a faction) to declare them selves as a academy graduate and tag there ship with [Acad] so they belong to a group of other indie players that can work together in game so there not alone. As the academy is NOT a faction, any zoner can tag there ship and there is no application, they can come and go at will. This will help RP wise getting players to be part of the Academy (which RP wise is the point of the academy, if there are no graduates, then the RP is pointless)
Ok so fire away, let me know what you think of the general idea behind my RP, and how you think I can make it better. Thanks in advance for any helpful advice or opinion.
Sort of a repeat post but.. put a little differently
I started the Academy in an attempt to RP my own thing and contribute something. A few participated and I thank you for that and RP'ing with me.
The Academy RP idea was as the Zoners are a dispersed and scattered people, and exist almost solely on ships and stations, with all the conflicts I decided to make a orphanage so to speak for the zoner community, it would take in orphaned zoner children and raise them in the Academy, preparing them for life as a Zoner. This would give the academy a platform to RP various different things and ideas like a news network (run by graduates) a shipyard where people who would want to participate in my RP could call themselves a graduate and gain a free ship and credits to start out with, and some other ideas I want to do. I thought it was a new and different kind of RP.
Another idea behind it was to let indy zoners that wanted a different interesting background in the Academy, to "return" so to speak and work with the academy. They could tag there ships [Acad] with no request forms to fill out and be part of a group if they were tired of being an indy. They would be able to come and go at will. The [Acad] would function as a bond between indy zoners and a way to have fun as a group as being a indy zoner can get a bit boring.
Im posting this to hopefully give a clearer idea of what my idea was. Ive never RP'ed anything like this before, but wanted to try and add something worth while to the community.
Please post ideas, comments, criticism, and ways you think it can be improved.
I know most want nothing to do with my RP idea, but can you at least post a opinion or suggestions on how to improve it?
Thanks for any responses/help.
Also, its based on a colony ship so I'm not sure what will happen after the zoner ship change happens.
