A Rogue Trader

Post by McViper »

Actually, It's a music band (thanks to Rex for the info :P )

No, I am in RP thread and I need to post only about RP.

Ok then, I just had the imaginative idea (if you judge it imaginative) of a Rogue Trader.

Yes, an [R] [T] , That means The guy who wears this tag will be shot at by everyone, and of course, can shoot everyone.
I thought of this because i always have some uncontrollable temptations when I see a guy who can be beaten by my Vulcan turrets :D

Would spice up trading a bit ain't it?

But Unfortunately, this idea has some problems. Its original conception can't be accepted by the rules.

"One RP per one Character allowed ; E.g. : No [X][R] allowed", Void rules say.


But what do you think of this whole idea? It is original in my sight, and can be very fun.


What you, Voidians, think about this? I want as many sights as possible, because if this idea will see the daylight, it can do a big punch for trading/pirating/police triangle.
And of course, I am waiting for Admins/Voids opinions because THEY are the rules and law enforcers in Void.

You do realise that simple [T]raders can shoot anyone too :P Since anyone can shoot anyone. At least, currently there's nothing in the server rules that said "X may not fire on Y without saying a word". So, there's no need to have a rogue tag on if you want to kill others while in a freighter, all that'll do is make you a target. Not to mention that the [T] tag isn't mandatory as well.

What's wrong with just having an [R] tag on a freighter? It doesn't have to be a fighter, you know. :P

A BL tagged freighter works fine for me when I go for a spot of looting.

When you wear the [T] tag, actually, you can't shoot everyone, your role is limited on trading only.

But when you wear only an R tag, it is to fly a fighter and kill and be killed, but I don't think there is many guys who don't wear T tag and trade, because everyone has the automatism to put T tag on the char when wanting trade.

But an R and T tag at same time is original, i think.

EDIT : and to answer Zeus, you can't wear T and R tag at same time, actually. One RP per one char.
That's what i want to change : Why can't we create a [T][R] Char O_o

Can you substantiate that? It's certainly news to me, and I don't see it anywhere in the current rules.
Furthermore, the only RP tags covered in the server rules are [X] and [R], so saying players with the [T] tag can't be hostile just sounds like an assumption to me.

There's no such rule. Take a look at the server rules, the only rules about tags are the following:
  • All pirates will be tagged [X]
  • Any players not tagged [X] and conducting piracy activity and unwilling/refusing to be correctly tagged, will be banned.
  • (tax rates and rules)
  • All rogues will be tagged [R]
  • Rogues may not be in a clan and may not tax
  • (clan tag rules)
So, as you can see, there are no restrictions whatsoever on the [T] tag. It's completely voluntary.
To be honest, the server rules regarding tags are very much incomplete: they don't even say what the rogue tag is, after all :P Just a suggestion that people should deem them KOS.

There's also no rule regarding mixing up different tags... though I seem to remember that there was one before the update. However, right now there isn't, so the way I see it, you're free to create a [T][R] char, it's just that there's no real need to tag it so :P (The only combination that's forbidden would be [X][R], because rogues may not tax.) If you want to prey on other traders in your freighter, then be my guest >)

Just to get some clarification here...

Anyone asking for tax without the [X] tag, after being asked to get the correct tag, gets a ban..??

While there are no restrictions on what one can do when one wears a [T] tag, it would be better that you avoid killing players with a [T] tag as this kind of behaviour is not expected from a trader.
A trader is really meant to trade,its an unwritten rule or convention and this RP shouldn't be distorted or mixed with other kinds of RP.
It also doesn't make sense for a trader to start shooting and killing as he pleases as that would mean fewer factions would have confidence in the trader and he or she would lose business & clients. Killing people is just not part of his job description.

However,if you are Rogue you have more freedom. With a freighter and a [R] tag you can choose to kill people and trade a bit. A [R] tag would also let people know beforehand that you might kill them.

Ideally speaking it can be argued that it doesn't make sense for a rogue to trade around with a freighter and at the same time kill people but then this is not the real world and this is not Disco so some leeway should be made. Only with a Rogue char one can do this and not with a trader char.

Lets avoid complications and confusion and not try to put 2 tags together. My advice is have a freighter with a [R] tag. Keep it simple.

Just don't put the [T], that's what I'm saying. Be a Rogue in a freighter, there's nothing to say it MUST be a fighter. Read the post properly. :P

Oh, and what Blade said, too.

Yes good idea both Gero and Zeus, maybe i should have thought mroe before posting ths thread. But anyways I did it because I thought that a [T] must trade only.


If we can trade and kill with an R tag only, then i don't see why we continue to discuss on this thread, as it ran its course.

Thanks for the replies.
