Hrmm, well, good rp is largely defined by what you have fun with. This could be long 1:1 talks with someone, or it could be actively adapting and roleplaying in response to the internal and external threats provided to the station.
This is very clearly biased, as everyone will have a different opinion, but things that are unbelievable within the setting of the game I consider poor rp. Such as being a scientist on RP and spending 60 makes making and distributing drugs exclusively through floor pills, while not talking to anyone. General things like this, that push you away from talking to others and are generally unbelievable. I’m not saying spending a long time building a huge mechanics contraption to benefit the station/something for the fun of the crewmates is bad at all, that would be fine, but if there is no end goal but hoping your gimmick potentially harms people with very little interaction is a good basis for poor RP.
Tl;Dr
Good RP- talking on the radio, PDA’ing others, helping during crises’, valuing your life and others lives
Poor RP- isolating yourself, attempting to harm others (as non-antag), creating low interaction scenarios, etc
