I have been stirring up the hornets nest lately. It seems to at least get some people moving around the planet. Manhattan is pretty bad but once you get a few outcasts in there it clears up pretty nice. I was doing this last night killing a few indies (one who reengaged 6 times, sorry I didnt get a screen of it) and pushing some random SA and LPI guys around. One thing, if I am RPing one of my characters Cardi withdrawal fueled ravings, dont call me a PVP whore. I nearly always give a chance to run weather I disengage of a few seconds or actually come out and say run. Most of the time its the idle chat brings me out, so I come give them something to do.
You can engage in New York in a fighter with all the indie caps around (usually I am getting chased by a couple cruisers) Just dont stop for any reason. Most of them have no idea how to fight a fighter, or any other ship for that matter, they just want the biggest ship they can get away with.
This has been an effort by myself and a few other Pirates to clear up the place. When it is sitting nice I go about my business charging 5 units of boron food and engin components to pass... Have to keep the junkers happy somehow.
