As the title says.
I RP a very straight laced, law abiding Federation loyal character who tends to avoid combat, and as such there are various tasks - and regions of space - I won't engage with much, if at all. So the 2.4 inclusion of character templates/profiles for the Holo-Me could represent an opportunity to try other role types in the game without actually breaking RP.
Yes, I have a second account that I briefly used to demo the start of the game to someone, but if I ever get around to it I will probably use that for a full on Empire character. With 2.4's templates I'm considering my character teaming up with an Alliance smuggler (I want to see how the profiles system works, first, and what new cosmetic options are added before settling on anything), and a reason for that would be accessing the Dweller.
My character's recently focusing on the Engineers she'll work with, and an opportunity/justification for adding the Alliance smuggler would be someone versed in black market dealing - connections and networks which will eventually lead to the Dweller.
So, anyone else considering something similar? I've really no idea how strict various peoples RP's are in Elite, as I've mostly stuck to the Xbox board and barely anyone there seems to mention or discuss it.
It isn't a neat solution, but frankly RP'ing in Elite is a bit of an uphill struggle anyway; no station contact will ever refer to a new pilot, but then again no one in the game's ever referred to my character's name anyway... (it's always my damned gamertag. I wish there was an option to have NPC's refer to a character name instead)
