I would also llke to hear from anyone who can steer us in the right direction regarding rp. I'm in love with the scope, tone and particularly the sound design, but I feel like it's quite difficult to share the experience in game. I'm very much a "noob" when it comes to MMO games, though I did play the original Elite. Is it entirely necessary to have a headset and earphones to engage with the rp community?
Firstly, welcome to the Elite forums and the game.
I think one of the main issues right now is that we're all waiting on next months patch to give us proper co-op, group play options and a better chat system before we can really start to communicate or play together. Until then, right now, it's really hard to roleplay past yourself or on the forums.
As for the forums, well, take a look around the section to get a general feel. Again, I don't think it's at its best right now, due to the lack of proper ingame chat and co-op features, but, hopefully next month when they add all that in it will all get bigger and better.
There may also be some RP groups out there with their own private games to play on that you can check out on the forums.
There is also the un-official GalNet news videos on YouTube with player interviews and news that you can check out here.
From my own experiences in-game there is sometimes a minimal element of roleplay but most people are just playing the game itself, which is fine too.

Thanks for the summary and links. I was really late jumping on the band wagon with this game, and bought it on a whim just after release. I had been unsure as to whether or not they had put all the co-op/communication framework in place. It's good to know there's a more coming to facilitate this kind of thing. It will greatly increase the longevity of the game.
I've basically been roleplaying my character as far as backstory and how that flavours decisions made on which missions to take and which direction to explore, in preparation for when we get the co-op / comms stuff happening.
I knew all those years playing D&D type games would come in useful one day

Not very, from my experience. I also RP my character, and have his history/background affect what I do (I'm playing a Federation loyalist so I'll only work for Federation companies, unless I have a good reason to work for somebody else), but as far as interaction with other players goes...right now, pretty non-existent.
another loyal fed awesome(there battlecruiser won me over sorry imps though yourimperial clipper is SEXY)
Thanlks for the links and topics man

I am a HEAVY RP Oriented player, when i log on, I AM my commander. If you feel up to it feel free to add me on Steam @ Ehop22 and in the game (i believe my in game name is Roadblock) if not drop your Character name and soon as my damn flight sticks come in ill pop on and add you or anyone for that matter, i just want some IN game rp, assuming the character as you log in deepens the game for me, thats why i love when people RP in game
Although I am an avid RPer i have not found the current state of the game to be conducive to the social RP I prefer. I think i will hold off until walking around with an actual customisable avatar becomes available. *fingers crossed*
Hi Guys
Just a quick post to say that we have created an Elite & Dangerous RP hub for all players interested in RPing in Elite. We felt there was no singular place for us and it made sense to have somewhere we could collaborate and channel our efforts as a community.
The Deep Space Stories group is part of the new hub.
If you are interested in RPing in Elite, then you should definitely head over and create an account. Also be sure to point other RP'ers in that direction.
See you all there. Galdatron.

I would suggest a Private Group aimed at RP. This would keep the play style the most controllable.
The other option is to RP with the understanding that people will not join in. Our efforts in Lugh are RP'ed, based on the storyline we created, but our expectations were that some would react to the story, in character, and others would just play the way they wanted. It's not a pure RP system, but proper expectations meant a fun time was had by all.

There's already a private dedicated RP group of over 50 players [Deep Space Stories], but from what I gather it's not utilised nearly enough and players in the group still tend to play in open. Great thing for events though.
