Attacking Traders - Jack-Sparrow - 05-16-2006
I suggest that a Pirate should have right to attack a Trader whenever he wants, and the Trader should be on some high level of course.
BUT give a warning to the Trader before he attacks, cuz a Pirate is living on looting Traders right?
If u wanna be Trader you`ll have to take that risk that u can be attacked by pirates, otherwise its no idea being pirate if u have to ASK for money.
Who`s with me!!?? :D
Cya all in space: Jack

I agree. Give warnings if you want to call yourself a pirate. If you jsut shoot first then you are a terrorist and I'll direct you to the nearest Phantom recruitment center :crazy: .
BUT, I DO NOT think that pirates should be in battleships when they are pirating. The biggest ship they should have is the huegenot or gunboats.

Yes that i can live with, no bigger than a *cruiser* of some kind.
Attacking Traders - Korrd - 05-16-2006
I agree.

And if the Trader gets attacked by a Pirate, he may do as he like to get out of there: Fight/Pay or Flee but NO F1! *thats for cowards and crybabies*
He may also land on a nearby base and maybe try talk to the attacker to get a safe end for hes own sake.
If Traders agree now: They may stay at base for a short amount of time like 5 min.
Then they must launch and continue even if the pirate is still there.

Sorry Guys what are we agreeing on .... Jacks statement, which is pretty much like
it is now so nots let change it. The Time for talk is past ...
Or ship size ... which is a difficult one, As we have the world and his dog in the Osiris now. Much nicer than the Battlestars, and so Freelancer. But still a cheeky size for
your average pirate. But ... Hey, who is going to police that one ..
Might make the Traders arm and take Escorts which will keep the mercs in business
or you have the choice of trading with a BS aswell ...
Ramble over ....
Hoodlum :wacko:

Umm so how do u expect to deal with hole convoys?, not to mention that BS's are very slow in there turning and can be out flowen by Trains and stuff like that, thats before they change characters and hunt u down with there own BS's
Using battleships is fine.
Attacking Traders - xit - 05-16-2006
As has already been said, this is already part of the server rules. At least the part about pirates attacking traders.
Apart from that I agree with it, traders shouldn't be safe. This is after all a PvP server.
I don't, however, like the idea of traders only being allowed 5 mins at a base. Logically a trader wouldn't stick his nose out, if he knew people were waiting for him. Would be too dangerous. Doesn't make sense RP wise.
Attacking Traders - Fellow Hoodlum - 05-16-2006
Sorry Jack I was agreeing with you in principle ... But I don't think we should have
any more rules governing this now.
Pirates are going to use any ship they want now and there is very little anyone can
do about it. So we all have traders and Battleships, its going to make things interesting
I don't however like the 5 minute rule, if you get safe you should be able to stay that
way until you feel like leaving. As Xit says illogical to leave when you know someone
is going to try to kick your ass.
So after all this we are pretty much back to where we were when we started. which
worked fine. So traders, get smart and take your chances. Pirates, its never going easy
catching them, but thats the game.
No more unenforcable rules please, lets use our common sense and police ourselves.
Finally Angel, the Osiris was always a good ship and my favourite, but sooo under-
gunned for the price. I swapped my Battlestar immediately the changes came in.
Now that is good balancing ...
Hoodlum :D
