You say that your going to halt smuglers near your bases? (Falkland, Java) Well, ill put it simple.
If the ID your using doesnt allow it, just dont do it. Simple as. Like Fellow Hoodlum said a while ago, "No RP can give you the right to breach the server rules". The rules in this case, using your ID for things it says you cant do. (Pardon me for not using exact words, but you get the picture).
If the ID says no, then it is no. Simple as.
Your responce?
Exile.
Outcast ID is not allowed to fly BAF battleship, outcast ID says no to that, but than again, it seemed OKed 'cos of the "RP reasons". We also have "RP reasons" to halt smugglers. We have IMG ID, but we're not mining niobium. How come ONLY our "RP reason" is breaching the server rules?
Can you pronounce \ˈdə-bəl ˈstan-dərd\?
Like Chopper said, we're not official, so we can even pretty much change to ANY ID, even generic or merc, that would allow us much more PVP whoring and less RPing. We're not striving for that, but seems you're intent on pushing us.
We can also always issue bounties on smugglers caught with cardamine in their holds. Cardamine is "BAD". It is only RP not to allow smugglers to roam around un interrupted. This is supposed to be a RP and PVP server, so RP it! Don't just scan the ID and assume we should act like NPCs. AI may not have the ability to figure out to whom cardamine belongs to, but players have. So if you think all should act only within strict limits of their ID and their NPCs, why the RP in the 1st place? Why the stories? Why players for that matter? Boot em all, and play with NPCs only.
We will not ever act against admins decision, but we're just trying to explain, why we think that decision could be changed.

Quote: AW and Phantoms didn't exist in vanilla FL, but the roleplay developed to bring them into existence was based on FL factions and events. Yours is not. Yours is based on the Colonies of Kobol and whatnot. The events that led to a good part of your roleplay had nothing to do with FL in any way. It's only the end that you added on so you could tie the two universes together. See the difference?
Our roleplay also developed to bring us into existence as FL faction. Only difference is, they're somewhat purely imaginary, and somewhat loosely based on "Star Gate", while ours is loosely based on BSG. AW leader roleplaying as the unknown half-alien, from an unknown origin, also has nothing to do with FL what so ever. Not to mention they were integrated into FL as the "zoner" faction, that acts nothing like that faction should, and in the end, they got their own ID, that also has nothing what so ever to do with original FL factions.
Now plain and simple, let me summarize to what your critics come down to: You don't like BSG universe, series, idea. Well guess what? I don't like Freelancers'. I like the game, I like this server and its community, but I DON'T LIKE the story, and I really DISLIKE ship design. I do LOVE vipers, and the fact they are in Disco, is why I'm here. Should all that love the game but dislike the story behind is just leave the server?
