I think there should be more variety to what the Ringers sell - right now they only sell a few high level devices and armor, and occasionally fuel. If they sold more stuff, possibly new Ringer-based items similar to Ringer Ambrosia, it'd add more to the "role-playness" of the Ringers, and give a bit more variety.
The Ringers might even have their own fuel type.

I also believe that there should be another Ringers station, similar to Commonwealth Residentials. They might be randomly placed like everything else (well, not random, but you know what I mean), or they could be clumped around Ringer Collectives and Shipyards similar to the Ares Archcannon station around Ares Communes.

More variety is always nice... but I don't see how it would add any "role-playness".

Well, supposedly they live there.
A entirely separate station for living in would be nice, though.

I've always thought there would be something like a "Ringer's temple" - they seem pretty religious (pretty Buddhist in a way - spiritually advanced and all that).

I've always been bad at describing things like this well... What I mean by role-playness, is the characteristical part of everything. It's difficult for me to explain this, so think of a character in a book - that character has certain qualities and roles in the story/book. My main goal in helping develop the game (and possibly everything) is to expand what I refer to as role-playness. I am a huge fan of variety, too, which sort of intermingles with "role-playness".

And an option "challenge ringer beliefs" lol!
But, seriously... commonwealth resedantals are useless...I don't want more useless stations... unless you are to bring...the black market into this...or maybe donate a few rins to people...

I think a "Ringer's Temple" would be great... it would expand on the "Transcendence" theme (it would be the Ringer's chosen path to "Transcendence"), and add to the "role-playness" of the ringers, I think. (Well, it would give then more character, for sure.)

But what would it do? Maybe add religous powers as an alternative to the sexy Sisters of Domina. That would be interesting.

I see it. Some words I'd use to describe that would be character, personality, and attitude. I normally think of "roleplaying" as affecting your own role... but it would be great to see the other entities in the game truly "roleplaying" their own roles--that is: have a personality and have their actions reflect that personality. For example: you'd expect criminals to be scoundrels, policemen to be sticklers for the law, wisemen to be wise, and heroes to be heroic.

I'd love to see more of that.

When I said I greatly enjoy variety, I also mean depth.
