Remove Gunboat from Pirate ID? - Drake - 12-10-2009
' Wrote:Really? By THAT logic, We should remove cruisers/battleships requirement of having Guard ID's.That was to make it harder to get (which it did... slightly), as well as often place some sort of additional restrictions (ZoI, generally) on the Guard IDs.
It didnt make the indi Caps RP did it?
Right. I think im done here.
The Outcast ID doesn't lose anything compared to the Pirate ID, nor is it any harder to get (other than having to go to Alpha, maybe).

' Wrote:So, you have no proof that it is fail, but, rather, just the fact that it is because you said so? Such a credible source, you. I'm happy we established you as all-knowing Discotator, or, alternatively, dance potato.I have plenty, but upon writing almost an essay on all your fail points, I deleted it, and just simply went with fail. Short, simple, to the point.

Reading through this thread, I'm starting to think that there is not much sense in independent pirates using gunboats, e.g. Rouges selling their gunboat (which is a warship I believe) to someone who is not willing to obey their leaders and who is not going to share the profit with them. I would rather see them using civilian fighter, bombers and transports. I have met pirates in heavy armed civilian transports pirating successfully. I believe it is much easier for a freelancer pirate to get his hands on a transport than acquiring a little warship from some secret shipyard.
Probably the same can be said about any mercenaries or freelancers gunboating around.

Seriously, just cool off about this whole dicussion.
It's not like it's a make-or-break situation for this mod.
Things are fine as they are right now, really very fine.
Nothing in life is ever purely good by itself, and we're better off now than we have been for a while.
Take into perspective the past as well as the present - yes, there's some bad and annoying things. But when you look at where we've been...
Well, we're climbing up a stair out of the basement of Discovery 1.0.
And as far as I can see, there's only ever been landings, no going back down.
After all, who'd build a stair that way?
The point is to advance, improve, and go higher.
Try posting in this thread instead of here.
Heaven knows we need it.

Honestly? Independant pirate, in a ship that has a crew of at least as many guns on the ship. I agree its not very logical, and i however ALSO think this would not help. what we need to do is find a better way to make gunships/gb. OC tridentes in NY with pirate ID IS becoming far too common, hell ive even seen indie pirates in unioneer gb and hathor even. What we need is a better indie pirate id, without GB, AND another one that requires you to stay in the ZOI of the ship you are in, say OC stays in taus omegas and other OC ZOI. Would cut down on the lolboats in liberty methinks.

Is this what we do when people do something we don't like? Disclude them from it?
Well, newsflash, but it won't solve anything. It's not the ship, it's the player behind it. You can be an ******* in anything from Arrow to Zoner Juggernaut.

' Wrote:So, I ask again, how many independent pilots fly Boeing 747s, an even more common civilian plane? Not very many. Why? Because it's expensive and you need lots of licenses for it. Most people in Sirius do not have that much money, nor can they take the time to get all of these "licenses", which are often arbitrary and stupid, especially in a pirate setting.If I can afford it I can buy it, am I wrong? Since when do pirates care about licenses?
Also, by your argument, player characters are 100% of the world. Hardly realistic I'd say.

The Pirate ID is used because it has an almost unlimited ZoI.
