Bloodhound - Open Use for Pirate ID

[michiyl]

Z-2010 Pirate Light Fighter "Bloodhound"

Some data:
- Guns/Turrets: 3 / 1 (max weapon class 4 :: class 3 if you have to rely on civilian tech)
- Can mount mines, cruise disruptors and countermeasures
- Hull strength: 1,900 (max shield class 4 :: means ~1678 shield hit points, recharge is 37.3)
- Cargo space: 35 units
- Nanobots/Batteries: 14/14
- Power output: 1,500 u
- Power recharge: 157 u/s
- Package price: $26,620

So, as you can see, this ship is indeed a light fighter for the Rogues and Mollies.
Now I'm wondering if it's possible to have this vessel as the "starting vessel" for any generic pirate, or in other words, to declare it open use to the pirate ID.

Pro:

• CD slot (the open use Mule freighter does not have one)
  
• it's hardly abusable due to its light fighter stats (yes, you can fight the CSV's and Starfliers of the newbies but they still have the ability to defend themselves)
  
• cheap vessel to begin a pirating career with (without the need to ask permission)
  
• easily recognized as a pirate ship
  

Con:

• Liberty Rogues and Mollies have no authority over this ship anymore
  
• only class 2 & 3 weapons without permission, so you have to ask for class 4 technology
  

Please discuss this - why and why not this light fighter can be open use to the Pirate ID!

I would vote dagger for that purpouse. Or just I wonder why a pirate shipline is not open to independent pirate ID at all...

Its not about it being "abused", its a rogue ship not generic and I don't see why would it be generic.

If you want that ship play a rogue or molly, otherwise use dagger

The rogues and mollys are the only ones that make them, that is how they have authority over them.

Hell yea!
This is my favorite ship! Hyena, hound:D
:D:D:D
I have a lot of love to them, so much, so I ready to steal THOSE LFs.
They are rule, they are awesome, and I feel much better in it than in scim.

I used to fly it on my mollies characters, only because of !this! Ship!

Its really really awesome model.
I, even planning to make HD model and better textures for it:D

I vote YES to make bloodhound, or even better hyena to be avaliable for pirate id.

I am not making ships for FL anymore, I am making my own space game instead:

because the so called 'pirate' shipline is actually the rogue/molly one.

because the so called 'pirate' shipline is actually the rogue/molly one.

Of course, these vessels are Molly and Rogue stuff.
But probably everyone will identify this ship as a pirate craft when they see it in space! And it's not about the whole shipline, just the vanilla light fighter. It's just one single vessel that would be open to the Pirate ID. And as you can see in the stats for this ship, it's hardly a threat if it gets in the wrong hands, don't you agree?

There are 12 Bloodhound LFs currently on this server. Compare that to the 109 Werewolf VHFs! It's not as if the Bloodhound swarm will cover the sky above Manhattan ...

It can be a good start for someone who wants to play an (ordinary) pirate, which is harder if one has to take the Mule freighter (no CD etc.).

Considering the Bloodhound is the second weakest ship in the game, you won't still be in it by the time enforced RP kicks in at level 30.... will you?

Although I am so far out of touch with Disco it's not funny :/

Back when I had authority over the LR, we and the MR were discussing making the Z line to open use, expect for the gunboat, bomber and dessie. In my eyes, noone has any jurisdiction over the Hyena/Bloodhound Wolfhound/Werewolf or the Greyhound. They are free to use just like the PTrain and the Mule/PTransport.

This. Take over LR again Spazzy, my man.
