' Wrote:Okay, so what about escort pilots?

Pirate sits there watching a scout.
And the pirate -should- run away because by rule it can't engage him.

I'd rather pirate the scout and have the trader take a detour,
hell, even have the transport pay while I keep the scout captive.
Would that mean I pirate the transport in-directly?
Would that be against the rules or not?
The change would rise more questions, because it's too specific.

So, no. Don't change it. If you're a fighter being pirated by another, just fight him off.

Id Is fine as it is.

What will be your next idea to have Server to change so it fits you ?

' Wrote:Stop. Right there. Stop.

...yeah no

So... NO!

' Wrote:Really? okay ... Unlawfuls are zone limited, cannot engage their allies, and have other unlawful factions shooting at them. Using your first example, Molly cant pirate in Omega-7 or California, can't engage Rogues or Hessians (not with just a silly demand anyway), and has Corsairs and their allies shooting at them. In return they get the ability to engage without having to make silly demand first, and get access to caps.

Pirate ID can go anywhere and engage whoever they want and can dock any unlawful base and more perks. It's not nerfed. In fact they should be limited to snubs only, given their corresponding freedoms.

Man. That's on paper. Go make a Pirate ID'd ship and fly it for some time. You'll find out that you're FR5'd by unlawfuls of the house you pirate in, and then FR5'd by Zoners when you move to independent systems. So you have only few bases to dock at. Not sayin' about BHG and mercs in turretboats hunting them.

' Wrote:Stop. Right there. Stop.

The pirate ID is nerfed enough as it is, with pirates no longer being able to engage in certain RP possibilities.
Stop nerfing the dam ID already because regardless of how much nerf you put in it people will never be happy, when pirates could use caps people were screaming like "pierat should be poor he no can haz cap wir is logik ? Q_Q" despite the fact that a group of pirates could easily gain the needed materials and schematics for capital ship construction, why would they not even hire specialized mechanics and scientists gone rogue ? but fine.
It got nerfed to snubs and gunboat only. Then you got people screaming because pirates were using bombers, something like "T_T all pirats use boomberbeee and snac poor transpurt wir is rp in dat ?" oh well, since caps were a no-go because of these complaints of which result has no logic whatsoever in the universe of Freelancer, and transports got those big bad guns and shields, what fighters offer won't be nearly enough to destroy a well guarded transport, if the said pirate could get a ship at all, why not bomber ? But even then people were not happy, since pirates where the main bomber users, people kept screaming because the SNAC was overpowered....really ? It's a SUPER NOVA ANTIMATTER cannon, IT IS SUPPOSED to be destructive, it's the only feature it should have, but nooooooooo let's nerf that too, so pirates won't have that used as it should either, so the said pirates would try and take faction technology to try and make up for all these useless nerfs, but hey, guess what, that is no longer possible either, since tech mixing energy nerf makes using faction ships and/or weapons no longer effective save for a few exceptions, are people happy ? naaaaahhh, pirates can still make demands and delaying the lolwut transport from buying his battleship, so why not kill what little is left from the RP in order to restrict making demands to freighters and transports only so that to provoke people to cry and nerf that too, WHY NOT JUST REMOVE THE DAM ID ALREADY ?! A pirate is a pirate for Burrito's sake, HE IS SUPPOSED to get RICH from robbing people, that's the whole point of risking your life in piracy after-all, what the heck ?!

STOP NERFING THE PIRATE ID OR MAKING THREADS WHICH CRY FOR THE PIRATE ID NERF ! NONE OF THESE NERVES MAKE ANY SENSE !

Seriously, restrict piracy to freighters and transports ? please tell me how a Somalian pirate would not attack you if you're just a simple tourist...

Kudos for this;)
And if the 2+ pirates have fire power enough to take lone Cruiser, I don't see the problem why they should not tax him....
And that is not a reason to blew him up, because he can still pay the tax and GTFO, but noooo he didn't buy his big ship to run from snubs.
He bought it to shoot snubs.

"You have a bounty on you and I intend to collect."

You're one to talk.

Bounty Board Registration, Bounty Board Claim.


Pirate: nothing. Only l1 demand. To anyone.

Don't change it. Pirates already have a heck of a time with getting swarmed. No reason to make it harder.

Indians? Right. Posting blue messages publically to show off? Right. Pirates? No.

If 10 LFs demand money from an Indian, will indian pay?

I would.
Would you?

Quote:If 10 LFs demand money from an Indian, will indian pay?

Personally I would pay, except for one reason; the ONLY reason I won't pay is because I would be saving the money to buy myself the biggest badestbutt ship in the game to get blue messages with, but since I am not doing that or planning to do that, I would pay.

Like it's a hard work to register to bounty boards. I can hunt lawfuls with my merc in each of the houses (except for Liberty where I don't go with it anyway) and it took me about a day to register on all of those boards.


There is nothing broken with pirate ID, it's the people who are crying around.

EDIT: Also, if a pirate demands from lawful unreasonable demand he can be reported for abuse, mind you. If the cap really don't want to fight he can just pay 2m-3m and be done with it.

' Wrote:I would.
Would you?

You say you would, but we all know how it would happen in (virtual) reality.

And no, I don't negotiate with criminals, unless I fly trade ships.
