Freelancer - The Void

I know that a lot of people here on Void are bored and that's the reason why they aren't coming. I had in the past proposed 1 reform to void, but it was stupid thing, I saw that after 24h......lol


Now, here are few things:

1. TOTAL RP

and how:

1.1. When Navy boy sees a pirate guy they should kill eachother....

1.2. Also for Rogues

1.3. To start new clans, like I saw in other server that is now the most popular(that's how number of players says...)
a) Liberty Navy clan
b) Rheinland Military clan
c) Kusari Naval Forces clan
d) Bretonia Police clan
e) Order clan
f) Terrorists clan
g) Sirius Pirate clan
ps: THESE ARE ONLY SUGGESTIONS, BUT EVERY HOUSE SHOULD HAVE 1 CLAN, MAYBE EVEN SYSTEMS AROUND "HISPANIA" WRECK.....ETC

1.4. Every clan should be limited for their traveling unless they request battle, like Liberty clan should be only in Liberty( clan chars only) and guard and help to traders...

1.5. No "chatting" in system chat anymore: Only "Freelancer" language only, chat should be left for groups and private channels.....
example of system chat:
a)Trader approaches to navy guy;
Trader: "How are things today?"
Navy: "Pretty clear, no enemy activity for now." ETC

b) Terrorist(Rogue) approaching to Navy guy;
Navy: "-Z-(rogue's name) you aren't authorized to be here, go away or you will be attacked and chased!"
Terrorist: "You can't catch me, I will make more damage then you even think before I get down! hahaha!!!"ETC

Ok, maybe I put it here little to formal, but something like that.........this thing can be discussed......

1.6. New York can be open for PvPs if this works, then Liberty Navy can continue with keeping new players, showing them direction etc. I don't mean on giving money or such things, but giving them some tips like how to get some money for beginning etc, but still act formally with them as much as they want

1.7. IDs: Every guy should have his own ID, like for start you get with equipment Civilian ID, and every house should have their own ID;
examples:
Liberty Police ID
Trader ID
Pirate ID
Bretonia Police ID
Order ID
.............

1.8. Every police or navy should keep things clear about these IDs, like if they see trader trading without ID they should warn him first time and second time kill him and continue with killing him untill he gets his ID

1.9.(optional) Sirius secret service (clan)

This clan should be here and act as government . They should have Secret service ID, but these IDs would be given by ADMINS to those who they think they can trust, like not everyone can be VOID guy, but these things shouldn't take so long, like if they see that you are being very active in game they can propose to you to become in their service. That player can be in other clan and it's not multiclaning. That person shouldn't fly around in Secret service char and should act normally. When they see that you are disrespecting rules they should punish you by money or with something else, can be discussed........

-How can I know that you are in Secret service?

simply: you play in all other chars and if you see trouble you just go to the place of problem and tell him to scan you so he can see that you are in secret service..................


Now Void people...reply on this

'Seems that RP improving ideas just keep rolling in.

I really like this idea. It will take a lot of work to implement it I think, but it would drastically improve RP gameplay.
I do have one question: What about ships which are not related to any faction? Like the Deimos for example. Or the Viper or WA-1. Would RP players be able to use those? It wouldn't be appropriate because no faction uses those ships, but not being able to use them would really make the RP play less popular I think.

I will get back on this thread when I think of something else. For now I think it's a great idea m8!
And my respect for taking a shot to really turn over the current way we play here. It's a brave move.

MAV

Sounds like a very good idea. I want to get out there and do that! You have my vote. Except for the cheesy system talk  :P  but I get your drift.

m8 not trying to rain on your ideal but the void is not a rp server never has been. i know what you are saying but this server was number 1 at one time running the way it does right now.

dont you think this restricts the players from just playing the game?

alot of players here dont rp and would not like being forced to rp.

if there were ways to custom fit this to the void and to parts of the game maybe. it is alot to take in at one time and you guys thought a graduated tax scale was alot.

just some random thought for starters.

Seems like all the ideas are taken from Discovery which is total RP, I have said it before the numbers on Discovery are usually at least 3 times the number on Void which says something. There are more Freelancer RP players out there than dedicated PVP'ers, when I started on Void there was some RP which has gradually disappeared and at the moment there is none. The number of people playing has also declined, maybe we need to get some RP back into the Void but turning it into Discovery is not the answer.

yeah m8 thats discovery
and whats with the navy pirate stuff....dont we do that already? ?
if we have to have RP we should have a basis on what we should do it on
like in BSG
they have implimented the idea of the show into FL so they have real RP
first you choose a side...(good)human or ( evil)cylon
and then they have 2 jumpholes when they launch from the start planet..1 leads to cylon homeworld and the other to colonial home
so you must choose your path
when you go through a jumphole(say the one which leads to cylon world) you will find a base and then you must buy a bribe for cylons(the only bribe in the base) and you have access to all cylon bases and humans turn against you
something like that is cool
plain FL is just boring :-w

if we want RP the whole void mods gotta be changed

I do play RP, but I think this is too much.  :P
Doing so you'll force newcomers to understand a lot of rules and, ....tell Strail to remove/modify/build up so many things!  ;))

It could be like as Skeleton says, but you could add a PvP License to the mix? Or literally a Freelancer License... That would mean that the people who wouldn't want to take a good/evil direction and play the RP could just keep to themselves.

thats discovery , i played there and left cause lots of rules ruin game fun.

Good idea's there mate, but i believe its too much to take in, i like Void how it is with hardly any rules just the quick and simple ones to remember. If we want RP on this server then i think we should come up with our own idea's and not take them straight from another server its copying and i believe Void should be unique in its own way.

So if we want some RP its down to the players to do it, so no R's grouped X's taxing Navy protecting traders and freelancers and NOT SAT IN SPARTA JUST PVPING! get off your a$$es and RP.

If its that hard to RP maybe try and RP a faction from the server for a while. After all we are playing in their universe. Plus if people actually followed the factions then u would see more Vannilla systems being used and the new ones also due to them being owned by that faction.

Like i fly under a Europa Navy tag on my Blazin_uk so what do i do, i take missions for them and allies of them, i kill the enemies, and for now on when im in that char i dont care if you are a friend or even a clan mate i will come shooting after you, why would i come shoot you? because its Roleplay and thats what people have got to realise, doesnt matter if your friends or in a clan if you have clashing RP's then you should be shooting eachother and its not personal now is it its ROLEPLAY.

damn what have i been goin on about now? lol

Cya in space

Void is mixed server, and I love it. If I would want a RP server, I would leave VOID. One thing is that many players dont follow RP correctly, and other is a RP server.

I am a noob, so please take my comments with that in mind. I may not have had the real experience of the Void yet to judge it fairly.

When I came to this mod a short time ago I was lured in by the promised extras to vanilla FL. A lot of them do not actually exist - I'm not complaining, I'm just stating the situation as I see it. All the Void seems to actually be is a pvp game in Sparta. If that were really true, then why not just give starting players the Anubis2, ANNIHILATORs etc and delete all the extra systems? What is the point of building up your ship, weapons etc to end up with virtually the same things as everybody else in order to stand a chance at the gunfights in one small place in the universe?

For me, the best thing I have seen about the Void are the people I have met, like Ubica and the other guys from 4S-Squad who have been really nice to me, helping out with advice on ships, guns etc thanks guys!  :D

  UBICA - "Hey Grin, why have you got such rubbish guns?"
  Grin - "Have I? Er I don't know, I thought they were ok"
  UBICA - "Come with me and we'll get you kitted out like a man! - How much money you got?"
  Grin - "lol - lead on!"

Now I probably am a role player at heart. I do suck at pvp, but understand that practice and training will improve me. I want to do it, if only to get back at those who have mugged me so far!

RP interests me because it would make the whole thing have purpose and the pvp becomes a part of the fun, not the ONLY game in town.

To keep noobs here, there needs to be missions actually working in the systems - those of us who come here from the single player game need them to build skills cash and confidence, or else you end up just wandering about the huge systems and getting bored. Fix these and you'll keep more people.

FL is about freedom of choice, so don't force RP but I do think that it does need to be encouraged to keep long-term interest up. Blazin-uk's idea seems to be a good one - basically CHOOSING to RP, so that other players will come to recognise this activity and take part in it or avoid it as they see fit. I think that this can really add to the game experience:-

  BLAZIN_UK - "You have entered Europa Navy-protected space. Leave now or face the consequences"
  G[R]in - "Eeeek - did I have my [R] tag on? I promise to behave...honest" (..gets target lock)
  BLAZIN_UK - "There's the gate, pal. I will count to three ;P"

For me, just stepping into a tiny arena to fight is ultimately very limiting and dull.

Hope my thoughts don't cause offence - I mean none. I know Strail and his team work hard. I think the potential here is enormous and I want to stick around.

OMG I have yakked a lot - time to go

See you in space  :D

What you have described here is kind of hard-core RP. Yes, true is that many players like RPing currently, that's why we can see many freelancers on discovery for example.

But this server has never been much aimed on RP, and in my opinion never will be... this just won't work on Void. Void is mostly server to fight on..

You can't change things those have been normal and accepted by players for many years, it's impossible. Also if on another hard core RP server there are lots of players, does that mean we have to do same and change void just  to get more RP players here ? meh..

Tell me how often do you see pvp on disc ? 3 or 4 fights in one hour ? and tell me how often do you see pvp's here on void..

Those players are basically different than players on void. Many ppl here like to fight a lot but they don't. They also call us "beasts" just coz we like pvp's and wars.

This place is different and big change like hard core RP will not work here. It's impossible to mix two really different styles of playing FL together.

Why do I think this ? This is XXXXX topic about RP on void since I am here.. and still nothing has been changed. So you must understand that void and pure RP = forget.  :-??

i vote there for yes but must be discussed
Almost all of u know me, i like H RP, is a easy and fun RP to play but also i think void need a RP change>>>> I'm agree with Grin who see in such sort time how things works on VOID
Best regards to all
