What do people think about events that are RP'd as "war games"
So these events would be LN vs KNF vs BAF type events.
Basically militarises / police trying to out perform their counterparts. In real life of course live rounds and ordinance aren't used because they lead to death. In Discovery (for the sake of fun) they could be shot down but of course RP'd as rescued (automatic ejection).
Houses could RP using old ships which are soon to be decommissioned and are instead being used as training platforms.
I understand this has a flavour of unrealistic. It's primarily an idea which allows new factions to PvP each other and thusly promote more fun. Thoughts?
In all seriousness, this is a great idea for veteran players and PvP junkies. Outside of them, newer players will avoid it (probably) because it'll just be a kill farm for the veteran players to inflate their numbers, us people who are bad at PvP will avoid it because it's not making us any money in the ever inflating economy, and the in-between space of those people who will avoid it because they dont have the cash for "gud ship". That's just speaking on an individual level. I have no idea how houses, factions, and otherwise will react to it.
We've done that with the MRG (albeit briefly) before our paths took us to the different sides of the upcoming Gallic war. The fight (and the assorted RP) can be good fun even for newer players, if their opposition is roughly their skill level. In war games, fair play is IRP, as it would make sense to pit evenly-matched teams or individuals against each other. I think that this sort of event is already possible, if factions organize it. Just do some RP, come to one place on an agreed date, and do some pews. If you're (un)lucky, your enemies might come to crash the party. All in all, it's a good activity generator and a nice change of pace.

If someone actually does that, sounds cool. Past experiences tell me that it won't, but I whine a lot, and have Lerdi flavored PTSD about something something mines and missiles.
