Im new to Discovery, i was playing yesterday, i have 3 characters and all of a sudden i got disconnected a couple of times.
When i finally got to log back in, all my credits had disappeared from all 3 of my characters.1
what gives ?
He was likely a pirate. 5 million is a reasonable demand, if he was with the correct id in the correct spot. it is a petty amount later in your trading career. it only hurts in the beginning. If you need help, buzz me. I can get you some ore mined, or some decent small transport to get you up and running. The beginning is the hardest on disco, than there is more challenges as you go, but there are cool players as well, and cool pews. Any help you need let me know. But recommend to you that NEVER disconnect from players, its really a cheap move.
well thanks, its nice of you to offer your help.
However, I did not need any help since i started, 2 days ago. yes 2 days. 48 hours.
Anyway, i had no knowledge of IDs i was running around without one until someone told me to get a freenlancer ID.
Thank god, i read and watched tutorials about it.
If this guy Had a pirate ID he would have been RED to me, no ?
Also he had some kind of trading ship. so i did not see him as a threat.
I wont explain everything but here i wrote my version: http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=129717

Pirate ID will not make it red, ship transponder aka IFF will make it red based on his affiliation and your reputation to his IFF
Pirate Train is a trading ship, and i think the name implicates what it can be used for

no, no it was not pirate train. it was trader looking like ship. thats what i said.
Ok so lets say hes ID was in order.
Now tell me, if i go out with my pirate ship, demand 5 million from someone. they reply "what?"
I shoot him down, kill him.
Am I wrong ?
Because that is exactly what was done to me.
And if so, i will make it a pleasure in destroying all traders i meet, with not credits demande, only life.

I am not the best person to explain the pirate role, i don't do it. but if the pirate ID player, demands you to stop, and pay, or drop cargo. and you move for instance he can shoot you since you can be trying to get away. Replying "what?" i am not sure if that is proper justification for it, he was likely inpatient, there are bad pew hungry and greedy troll pirates out there no doubt, but also there are some that sticks to their role and actually do RP as they pirate you.
