So…Despite the fact that it may be overly abused and such. I came up with an idea, Shipmoting. Emoting your ship actions. Such as like..Cheap little manuevers. Rather then just plain straight lines of blah blah blah..But actually emoting your ship’s action.

I’ve idea’ed this ingame a couple times actually… and completely love the idea.

I feel like it wouldn’t get much use. Usually when you’re in a ship, you’re on your way somewhere or trying not to get blown up… Not exactly the best time to ‘shipmote’.

I disagree.. some of my best conversations have been through the use of hail.
Besides, might as well make it possible rather than just… dismiss any possibilty of it? *shrugs*

I can honestly say I would use this a ton. I’d probably set up alias’ to put it in use for basic ship functions.

I’ve suggested this before…although it may have been another MUD, I don’t know. Imms shot it down immediately, no idea why. They said ‘If you want to RP ships, do it on the ground.’ Probably wasn’t this place…I think it was GI actually. Imms there are…well they’re weird.
PS: I love the idea, and shipmotes, when done right, look beautiful and enhance the RP atmosphere. Abused? Occasionally, I did it once. But for the most part it goes right. Just smack a bitch who tries.

Perhaps I just don’t get it and thats why I think the idea is silly…Maybe someone can explain more?
What I’m imagining now is poses from ships…
The R-41 StarChaser "BoogerPicker" quickly turns, reflecting the light of the nearby sun from the shining duraplating the quality ship is designed from. After turning towards Alderaan, the engines boost once more, propelling the ship towards the planet at a faster rate.
To me….I see no reason for this…In general, I’m trying to get from point A to point B with as little interaction as possible in space. Though this is just my opinion. If you guys want more RP in space, make ships able to stay in space for longer periods of time without burning up fuel. I think there is very little "on ship travel" RP going about…I’d rather see this than having ships pose (Unless I’m misunderstanding)

Yeah, if I’m in a smaller ship, "interaction" usually involves a cappie raining fire and death upon me. Best to avoid that if at all possible.

Ships burn up fuel slowly enough that this isn’t really the issue. It’s just easier and safer to go ahead and land as soon as possible. We could make ships fly more slowly, but that would probably just make it more boring. What would you suggest?

Yeah I definatly don’t think making ship flight slower is the key. In fact, I’m not honestly sure I can offer a legit answer. The only people that tend to stay on ships are the heads of the navy for various organizations. Its just odd that so much of the SW world revolves around being on a ship…IE: Oh we’re in hyper, so lets go chat in the lounge…type of thing…yet when I’m dealing with ships, I go from entering it, straight to the cockpit, fly…land..leave…In fact, I had a Corvette for the longest and didn’t even know what else was on the ship…much less how to even get there…Anyways, to wrap it up, I honesty don’t know what to do to make it more interesting to RP within or whatever…I’ll think on it more though

Personally, I think ship to ship battle SHOULD be more RP then setting aliases and triggers. It’s more cooler that way, and MUCH less repetative then:
target X-wing
fire laser
fire laser
fire laser
charge
fire torpedo
fire rocket
chaff
chaff
roll
fire laser
fire ion
—Etc etc etc etc. You get the point. There should be some way to corperate RP into any battle. Be it hand to hand or ship to ship. There’s a MUD I once played, their combat system relied COMPLETELY on emotes and such. You just had to have certain keywords within the emote to do anything. It was an RPI though..

No one would bother using shipmote during a PVP. That’s like someone EMOTING that they are bashing you before doing it, or flurrying. It’s not practical, it’s not going to happen.
