And i'm actually enjoying it.
There is a lot of rules and things you have to follow, and since you start at the bottom you have to listen to everyone above you. However as a roleplayer I really enjoy the events done in the gamemode, or just the special things to do.
Mostly all you'll be doing in between events early on is trying to impress higher ups, train or just dick around(I think most of you favor the third). You have to be active to stay in higher ranks and as you get higher ranks you are given more responsibility, like training recruits or commanding regiments and squads. Even becoming Admiral(or if you pay money on the server, becoming sith or Sith Lords).
One other thing you can do is be in special regiments, since i'm in an Imperial server(Heil the Empire!) we have the Stormtroopers(ST), ShadowTroopers, Novatroopers, FEAR, 501st, 317th Commandos, Rogue Warriors, Prison Gaurds, Royal Gaurds, Scout Troopers, Sand Troopers, Snow Troopers and I think a few more...
Me personally, I am 317th Commando all the way.
The best part I think though is the people on the server i'm in. The people actually there to play and not troll are usually friendly and fun to play with. Since GMOD is no super competitive game it's easy to just goof off with other players or just chat until something happens. Nice way to pass the time.
So yeah...i'm stuck in GMOD starwarsrp.
