' Wrote:Actually the outcasts are more than just a pirate faction, we are the prime suppliers of cardamine in the sirius sector and we take any and all steps to keep that supply going. It is in all the outcasts best interests to do so. It is good business, pure and simple.
Secondly the outcasts ARE an organised faction. I believe there has always been a recognised Maltese Navy and all factions answer directly to the council of Dons, the outcast equivalent of a recognised government.
EDIT: Can I also point out that contrary to popular belief, we do not indiscriminately destroy any and every vessel that enters outcast space. We are usually welcoming to visitors who are not hostile and do not make a nuisance of themselves. Outside our home systems you will find outcast pirates doing just that, but it does not do to crap in your own backyard, as they say.
Pirates and smugglers. However much money and power you obtain doesn't really matter in the RP. You are still limited to being pirates and smugglers.
Cooperative council and organized council is quite different. A council is not what I was referring to. A council has many forces at work each man trying to better his own people. What I meant was more like a monarchy. One single opinion driving all the outcasts.
You've said yourself that people don't know the outcasts. Therefore your "council" can't be a recognized government by every outcast. I honestly think you're putting too much power to it.
I have jumped to the Outcasts home systems on several separate occasions with different characters. I have been met with Disrespect. Hostility. No cooperation. So contrary to your "popular belief" you can't even began to speak for all of them.
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found serenity
But you can't take the sky from me

Have you ever been to Omicron Alpha? Seen the planet? The big shipyard? Let's move to Omicron-85 (which, I'll have you know, I paid for, and I will not see it denigrated to a pirate hideout). Ever seen the very large Outcast Dreadnought? And above that, one of the largest and most heavily armed stations in Sirius, the Corsica shipyards? That produce large amounts of capital ships on a scale only possible with a House industry? The Outcasts are indeed a house. We have a planet with a full-blown government, we have a professional navy, and now even a police force. We have a very large economy based on the Cardamine trade, and, while some Outcasts do indeed choose to make a living pirating, we have a massive population planetside and a very large military. What Outcasts do outside of Maltese space isn't usually our problem unless it causes a diplomatic issue, but when they're inside our laws are in force. Why you don't see total agreement? Because we have the same problem as any other house (namely, people going off and doing whatever they want regardless of what RP calls for). No case, mate, your premise is whacked.

You know what? I really cant be bothered to go over all this AGAIN! You make several visits to OC space and feel you are justified to judge all of us as a whole? I and several other contributers to this thread, are a regular presence in OC systems, many of them are high ranking faction leaders and Dons, all of them have a far better understanding on this topic than yourself . Visit OC space whenever you like and I will personally ensure you get a very very warm welcome.
EDIT: High ranking faction leaders??? Are there any low ranking faction leaders? *facepalm*
