' Wrote:I may be wrong in this, but it was my beleif that the Rouges were actually involved in the artifact trade in vanilla, purchasing them from the Unioners in the borderworlds. Still, Rouges are very territorial when it comes to piracy rights in Sirius, and seeing that the majority of Corsairs are pirates, I can imagine they'd not take to kindly to 'Sairs hunting on their turf. Still, the Rouges and the Sairs are so far apart it's kind of hard to imagine the two meeting one another. I suspect they'd rather death with one another through a third party like the junkers.
The LR- currently have dealings with AGS- regarding the artifact trade. Therefore cutting out the Corsair~Rogues interaction.
Todays Liberty Rogues are beginning to establish themselves as criminal businessmen, bent on getting rich like everyone else. At least that's our lore currently.
We are very territorial, and strive to be the sole leading piracy/underworld organization in Liberty.
The Hackers are considered our closest allies, but even they are kept at an arms length to provide the Liberty Rogues with the level of exclusiveness they desire.
The Liberty Rogues consider official factioned Outcasts welcome in Liberty to trade, and trade only. Anyone in direct competition with our pirating efforts are considered a threat to our way of life and therefore are acted on in a most hostile nature hence the shooting of non-trading Outcasts (and any other pirate not worthy of being affiliated with the Liberty Rogues) in Liberty.
We actually had a small interaction with a Corsair syndicate just the other day, in Magellan of all places, who aided us in the downing of an enemy vessel. In turn we turned a blind eye to their presence in Liberty, and they didn't bring any unnecessary idiocy in our ZoI. If a lone Corsair was to amble into our ZoI, then yes, he will be treated just like every other competitor. However if a Corsair faction were to make contact with us, and offered us something of value via trade (IE the Arties), then our deals in which we may profit less from with Corsair enemies may ultimately be shunned and not considered in the greater scheme of things. The Rogues will forever be indebted to the caridmine run, and slaves need the jobs in Malta, so we will never overlook that, however Outcasts have no reason to go to our southern base (Dawson) to which Corsairs may dock, or even if they felt the need to risk it to New York to Buffalo. Who knows? It's not been achieved thus far though we are open to the idea. If it means profit, we'll take a good look at it.
The bottom line is that most of the time, Liberty Rogues and Corsairs barely interact, therefore no official diplomatic status is attained between the two. We're not enemies, but we aren't friends. The Outcast~Corsair wars means squat to us so long we can get paid/laid/or go raid.
I hope this answers your questions of todays Liberty Rogues
