YES YES YES YES YES
But
Make it only work for gig concerts, not for regular performance grinding. We don't want something that encourages people to keep hiding away on their ships, right? This should facilitate RP/socialisation rather than the opposite.

What's the state of the different factions? And other questions.
Hey everyone!
Been a while since I've been on the forums, but life has evened out and I'm looking to get back into Starmourn. I'm basically a newbie again, so I thought I'd come here and try and catch up.
Specifically, what's the state of the factions? Are they all going strong? Is there any conflict going? Is it possible to play casually in every faction?
Also, it looks like there's a million new things to do and try and I can't even remember how to bash or hack or fly a ship so it might be a while before I even get to try that. But what's new that you'd absolutely recommend trying out?

Re: Announcements post #77: Music, bands, performance!
I've done three gigs so far and I am LOVING this.
A few ideas:
A few ideas:
- make it so that we can test performance emotes outside gig time
- make it so that band members that are performing in a gig can't be forcibly moved from the concert hall
- make a ship upgrade that will allow you to add a concert hall to your ship

Re: Announcements post #77: Music, bands, performance!
I like this addition a lot. Most I've been logged in for a bit. Now the nitpicking! ^^;
Seconding that I'd like an actual item.
Something to make cheers/boos from players impact things, instead of just presence or not at all for single performer performances. Lusty has that on some kinda 5-star ranking system, but mostly I was just looking for 'yes I watched and liked it', 'indifferent', or 'did not like' counting for 1, .5, 0 players present. That doesn't work so much for single performers at the moment, but:
Personally, I'd prefer the single performance thing to work more like the band gig does, with a start/stop and freeform emotes throughout. If not, then something like this would work as an addition instead of replacement:
performance new (performance name)
performance step 1 (emote here)
etc etc
performance select (performance name/num)
Then you use that performance when you go, with it defaulting to the preset lines otherwise.
In either case, there needs to be a way to practice.
More unlocks for the ranks would be cool, but I'm not salivating for those as much. Maybe more performances preset or customizable groupies idk. Maybe posters featuring the artist/band show up in places where you perform.
Also, a ship mod for a venue yes plx ty kindly. Don't even care if it's performer rank locked.
Further out in left field - venue-based tracking, so you get more of a jump in popularity if you go somewhere with a low recognition of you/your band and perform instead of sticking to your hometown.
I think that's all for now but make no promises that there won't be more.

[IDEA] Accents
I hate say, it's super boring.
So I made myself a really simple alias on Nexus which you're all welcome to copy, so my say is a bit fancier and more distinctive:
But really I shouldn't have to do this. Under the standard CUSTOMIZE options, I'd like it if we could also CUSTOMIZE SET ACCENT to have something be our default on any occasion that we don't say (With a prepended non-default tone or emote).
This is good for the arpeez because it will encourage people to think a bit more about their characters, who they are, where they come from and how they talk. Just a more immersive world, you know? I wanna see all those professional, polished Bodean accents, growling Tukkav, etc.

Re: Announcements post #77: Music, bands, performance!
I'd really like it if instruments were actual items. I realize that would mean spending some out of marks but I'd consider that a fair tradeoff for having different models for each (no mechanical difference, just different descs). I'd *totally* spend credits to customize my synthboard.

Re: Updated Policies Regarding Harassment and OOC
Thanks Eukelade, you are so right. I'm going to be the best super villain ever. Dominion Empress #2 coming right up! But on a serious note, you are right specifically because so many people don't realize that just because you are being mean IC doesn't mean you're being mean OOC, and a lot of people also try acting mean OOC just because they're being mean IC. Character and player separation is important for getting the most out of the roleplay experience.
Conflict can lead to some of the best character development when done right. I'm really happy you went out of your way to clarify. Thanks for the hard work!
