Way to see if someone is a pirate or not without scanning? - Exsiled_one - 09-04-2009
Hey! Don't get me wrong. Pirates that pluder your entire cargo for no reason, use "2milordai" phrases and blow you up after you pay, deserve nothing but the same thing.
If you want to contribute to the anti pirate society, you don't rush head on into Outcast waters or Corsair waters, you take a gunboat or whatever, and offer escorts to the traders in liberty space. Making the pirates lose cash that way and making good connections to the people from the game.

Pressing F9 will show you the other players affiliation before they are within scanner range, asides from giveaway faction tags that is the best one can do

Just keep an eye on the lists.
Yes, not all people are pirates (In truth about 9/10 players has a pirate...soo...)
But just be aware of other "Possible" Pirates

Check system logs as well, see what people say and also see if they are comming closer to your ship.

SilverLeaf, all you ever seem to do is whine.
Especially about pirates. you call them horrible people, say you would spit on them, among other things.
All the while, you sit there, steamrollering them in your LABC? Idiots I can stand, Hypocrites? No.

How about SilverLeaf stops whining about things, and gets ingame?
Yeah. I support that.
I might make a poll about it.
Oh wait... Maybe I should make a poll to see how many people are annoyed at SilverLeaf's not searching?
Maybe he/she/they/it could actually do some beneficial soul/forum searching themselves and see that all the questions to they/his/her/it's answers have already been asked, possibly more than a dozen times.:)
Oh wait...maybe making a poll that isn't such a good idea after all....
I second that
@ Silverleaf: I think you are in the wrong server, this is a RP server not a pvplolwutwhore one.
and for God's sake STOP CALLING CREDITS ISK!!

Do NOT, for the love of the many gods that don't exist (De javu), deal with pirates in a BC!
Its a WARship! Its for WARS! Fighting pirates is not in RP for a massive capital vessel, that's what fighters and bombers are for!
A Captial Vessel is for BIG threats, not petty crime. You fight enemy CAPITAL ships.
You defend Liberty (or invade Rheinland) against actual threats to the House of Liberty.
Do you ever see massive f***off tanks stopping people from robbing corner shops?
NO.
Stop it. Please.

Anyway, maybe I can jolly well afford to lose a few convoys now and then, but pirates being total jerks = not cool
Just calling for measures to remove the bad ones or not let them grief, many traders I spoke to (ok a few, didn't speak to 'many') did say some <strike>pirates</strike> people are jerks just hiding behind RP to totally wreck others' day too. so why don't they RP in such a way that no one gets totally smackdowned?
Look at the pot calling the kettle black... (I added the people part for those that aren't very clever.)
Take a look at yourself for once SilverLeaf.
