I'm so fed up with getting pirated all the time. The lack of police and enforcement of laws (and server rules) is sucking the fun out of spending my gaming time on this server. But I just found a way to get back to having fun again...
I want to make enough money to get a ship that will take out pirates. I will the take on vendetta misisons, hunting down pirates, rogues and hackers. Also I'd hang out at gates and asteroid fields to take these bastards out.
Bountyhunter, there are standing bounties (small ones but who cares), on practically every pirate faction around, and it gives you a vast zoi plus lots of weapons and ships to use.
Sounds great. Vigilante sound slike fun.
What ship/guns/shield would you recommend at minimum to be able to deal with most PvP pirates, rogues and hackers?
Eagle, Wasupu, Raven's Talon, or Roc if you want something a bit heavier. BHG will hunt you if you use their tech without permission, so only use a Manta or BH bomber if you don't mind being shot at by them, too.
So far as weapons go, codenames are always good, or Furies or Purple Goddesses. A Sidewinder or Cannonball missile couldn't hurt as well. I'd stick away from minirazors and torps if you're out for blood that much, since CDs keep the pirates from running.
That's exactly the reason. People get angry if you use "The biggest ships to kill everything". This is a roleplay server, afterall. And from a strictly practical viewpoint unless you're a natural at it or train for hours on end, gunboats will never be as effective as a good VHF or bomber.
