Evil suggestions with a Shire - nOmnomnOm - 02-23-2013
Hello Everyone,
As you may or may not know, I play 99% of the time as a Pirate/bady.
In doing so I have sold all my lawful ships except two. One of which is a Shire.
Now I love the Shire. Why? The guns. Lots and lots of guns.
I want to do something bad in it but I have no idea what to do. I have left transporting a while back too since smuggling sucks and all that at the moment.
So I am here to ask: What can I do that is evil on a Shire? Surely something! Probably something to do with LR or Corsair would be nice, since I am in those two factions.
So yea what can I do? HELP!
Future thanks for your help

Nothing with either of those groups, seeing as the technerf would destroy your powerplant if you equipped the ID. Shire also has no disruptor, making it a liability on its own. You could try a Molly or Gaian pirate if you've got a friend who can lug a disruptor along.
Gaians would be closest to the Corsairs, Mollys to Rogues.

Well, while it would be a stretch to go pirating with a Shire - it's certainly fun and interesting to end up HUNTING pirates with one (or two or three). Cap 8 Shire can take out the NPC Corsair battleships out in Delta - I've certainly done that many times by myself, and I've seen the Bowex Shire Brigade take out PLAYER battleships before, which is just scary.
Unfortunately, from an evil / unlawful perspective, it's pretty tough to do much. However, you could go into Gallia and blaze a trail, perhaps work with someone to provide convoy protection. Just a thought.

I was part of a privateer group that used shires and percherons for piracy in Kusari. I guess we were a little evil. Like burglars turning up to your house with a removal van. We had to go in teams though, since the shire has no CD.

What if I were too... get a freelancer ID on the Shire, sign up on a unlawful bounty board, then team up with some unlawful to collect cargo and kill and what not?
Would that be valid?

Hm, reminds me of my Junker Shire with 12x Belials (Sammaels). Doing piracy and smuggling runs. That thing was a beast.

Both are ID / rule / server violations (since we're hearing so much screaming from someone about people not paying attention to the rules). Freelancers and Junkers are both limited to 3,600 cargo (Junkers can have the slave liner or the P-Tran) - the Shire is a 4,200 cargo ship.
It'd have to be an SRP ship.

Sign up on some unlawful bounty board.
Make it as obvious as possible that you are a smuggler and attract trouble.
Shoot the trouble to collect bounties.
???
Profit?

Of course I've sold it after .86 with the ID changes and new tech nerv came out. But before that, it was approved by the LR and allowed by the server rules.
However, now there's not much possibilites without making a SRP request.

Well that would make sense... and then there is the problem with capitol ships after me D:
But yes... that idea might work. Just what ID would be good then for it?
