Thx for your support Joker. Next time your in a fight, and yorktown is around. Maybe some bots/bats may mysteriously show up on your ship when needed. After all my crew is borderline mutinous right now.

A quote so good it had to be said twice.

' Wrote:HF and RM battleships are completely irrelevant. Can they disrupt trade? No, because they can't blow up transports.

In more than a year on this server, my Liberty characters (couple of traders and a couple of LPI) have had issues with pirates on a regular basis. I can count the number of times I've seen RM forces on the fingers of one hand.

Maybe in-RP they're supposed to be a bigger threat, but in reality on the server? Not at all. Pirates cause significantly more problems for Liberty on a regular basis than RM ever do.
LPI ID doesn't allow battleships.

It does, however, allow cruisers...incoming LPI cattlebruiser!

Battleships do not come alone, unless thier lolwuts in which case they're no threat at all. They may not be common but when the HF or the RM do turn up they are often in very large numbers.

Ah the good old days ... I do miss those big fights ...

Anyway, before I get too distracted. I did find the name of the LPI dreadnought, the LPI-Leavenworth. Unable to find any screens in the search box. I'm sure I have a picture of it somewhere but after 10 mins searching my archives I've givern up. I do know however that it is a dreadnought and it has been in service for atleast a year. Don't know if its still active though, no recent sightings.

And before you say about fileing sanctions it is an SRP ship for the official LPI faction, not just some indie nub whos not read the ID.

I think that ship was put out of commission a loooooooong time ago. That bird was flying back when I was running the XA... Though I think it had been long since retired when I was Deputy Chief of the LPI...

Of course back then it was the Rusty Donut. It was a more innocent age.

Oh thats a shame.

On an RP note though I nolonger scramble to help people who spam me with "HELP" in the chat. The amount of times I've had some trader in Cali call me for help when I'm in New Hampshire to take out some guy in a fighter, and then moaning when "amazingly" I didn't make it within the 5 second timeframe is amazing.

These days I only engage pirates if they are:

1. Attacking a trader and I'm the only guy there.
2. I stumble into the fight and its clearly one sided against the LN / LPI
3. Its a cap and there is currently no or insufficient anti-cap support available.

Anything else and the most I'll do is sit and watch. Most likely though to just carry on with my journey.

Otherwise i will sit and watch others die by pirate hands.

Nice RP you've got there. I suspect the captain and several of the crew would probably be facing court mashal very quickly under that attitude.

Quote:You wrong mate. HF does blow up transports that are Navy or junker. I have even discussed this with HF leader a few times.

I said battleships, didn't I? Oh, yes, I did. HF battleships blowing up transports? SNAKSHUN

I am amused by the fact that the whole OP is written in a way: "Huh, I don't get things the way I like and people don't worship me so I put a big NO on their faces" and ask to not troll in here. I mean, when the OP is a trolling post what you'd expect?

Anyway, Police should deal with pirates yes, and navy should arrive only if it's necessary to back the police up.

Note on police and navy.

In the long long ago someone did something with the best of intentions. They made it so one lawful group could only do one thing and another lawful group could only do another.

The police could demand contraband. The navy could not. Unless some rather weird specifications were met.

The result was a tremendous amount of frustration and a lot of traders laden with cardamine stopped while the naval bubba tried to find himself a cop.

The navy and the police are basically a veggie or meat burrito. Essentially the... Wait nevermind let me make this Liberty specific

The navy and the police are basically a glazed or sprinkled donut. At the core they're the same deal. You login, you solve problems. Problems of which the cherry picking of is something one can consider in regards to flavor, but for the most part both are going to be taking care of the same issues.

The navy spots a red issue, they stomp on it.
The police spots a red issue, they stomp on it.

Generally the only time one or the other is told to butt out isn't because of a jurisdiction thing, that's a rather absurd notion given the fluidity of player populations and I'd roll my eyes at claims to the contrary. 98% of the time if party A tells person X to butt out it's because person X is herf derfing his way into a fight everyone is enjoying with a ship which is going to unbalance the nature of the battle (which means he's flying a bomber, as a single capship is instantly destroyed by even a light bomber and is therefor not a threat).

So yeah, this thread is a good times trololo sadface butthurt sour grapes Q_Q thread. But at least it serves as nice ground for a little history lesson and maybe a reflex lock in a couple of posts.

As much as not being able to shoot pirate transports in my LABCs being ever so slightly an inconvenience when I have to switch to one of my funboats, I will not Q_Q and stop shooting rats because of it.

Sorry, fighting the RNC fleets happens all of once every 2 months in my timezones and I actually have a pretty good time pew-pewing with the locals. Kudos to the 10 pm zerg swarm for making liberty fun every night for about 45 min.
