PVP free system

[Huhuh]

I was wondering if people would be interested in a PVP free system for them to engage in lengthy verbal RP (meetings, events, cybering etc). PVP could be a possibility should all parties agree on it, but random attacks (piracy, opposing factions interfering) won't happen.

We've got conn for PVP only purposes, so why not have system purely for RP? The server does have RP in it's name after all (not that I'm dismissing fighting as not RP).

Pros:
Complex, non-pvp events are less likely to be messed with
Sense of security from lolwuttery and or pvpwhoring
Players have to be creative
Players will go there looking to RP

Cons:
No risk
Less random encounters
Players spaced out even more

Obviously the system would have to be a dead end and have no mineable zones, sell points, or buy points, to avoid people abusing it to make money.

Now I've only just gotten back into the game, so this is not a QQ because I'm being shot too often or something like that (in fact I came back to the game to shoot things).

Thoughts?

Omicron Lost, Omicron Minor, every single guard that is not visited that much. You wont be interrupted there.

Years back, New York had PvP turned off altogether. It was almost universally horrible.

RP is also a little artificial and forced when it's happening in an isolated meta-environment.

Very true, but not everyone hangs out there for that purpose.

what about a system where underlevel ships are non-damageable? if you want to RP, you can rock a light fighter. takes only a moment to set one up

Sometimes you need larger ships for the event. For example, I participated in an event where a broken down salvager is boarded repaired before a reactor meltdown. It just wouldn't be the same with a bunch of starfliers.

Damage may also be desirable for the event (pirates raid a transport for RP cargo that is too valuable to risk on the rest of the server).

Never said it wasn't.

The recruit ID is meant for this purpose.

As jammi already stated it was a disaster.
Nowadays I get the feeling that several (probably new players) do not really care about the fact that DiscoveryRP is a roleplay server.

I believe the forum is this PvP-free place you are dreaming of.

Or make an event server with your own rules.

[Huhuh]

A system would be better than a server because players can just loiter in the system, waiting for someone else to RP with. Similar to conn, but with RP.

It's not like the system would hurt anything. You can't complain that too many people are RPing. If it goes unused, then the devs could just incorporate it into the rest of sector as a regular system.
