' Wrote:Ok, last night, while as a [Phantom] in kusari I had FireBlade try pirating me without ever seeing him.
Even after I explained to him, about who and what the [Phantom]s are, he continued to try.
So this is for all the players who pirate to read, little hints and points to remember so that you, and your targets, can have fun without flaming each other here on the forums or ingame.
if you can't be bothered/don't want to read it, thats up to you.
1) Pirates DO NOT pirate other pirates/terrorists.
2) You can only pirate when you have a Freelancer, Liberty Rogue, Lane Hacker, Outcast, Corsair, Molly, GC, Blood Dragon, Unioner, Brunschuh, LWB, Junker, Farmers Alliance or Hogosha IDs.
(pretty sure thats all the IDs that allow pirating, PM if I missed any)
3) Currently the only terrorist ID is Xeno, on this server 'terrorist' means you can shoot anyone and everyone, as long as you abide by the server rules in doing so.
However, if you don't have a Xeno ID you have to warn, or try to pirate, everyone before you shoot them.
Also, a Xeno ID'd player HAS to try to pirate, or warn, anyone with a Freelancer, Neutral, Zoner or IMG ID, instead of just shooting. This is because of the Xeno NPC faction rep.
4) If a Player has an ID which is listed as hostile to your ID, you'll find the info in the faction infocards, then you can shoot without pirating, however, you still have to warn them first.
eg: A corsair ID'd player comes across a hessian ID'd player, either of you can warn and then engage.
Or
An outcast ID'd player finds a navy ID'd player, again, either may warn and then engage.
5) Until/unless igiss alters any other IDs to be terrorist you still have to warn people before you shoot them.
6) Pirating in anything bigger then a gunboat is against the rules, you'll find it in the ID infocard, Pirating is classed as asking for money or cargo to let a ship go by safely.
So, if you disagree with anything I've posted, say so, but do it politely and state your reasons.
If you think this is complete and utter rubbish and wish to continue shooting everything in sight without having/getting a Xeno ID, then your on the wrong server, go find a PvP one, cos this isn't one.
Thank you marauder for giving me better pointers.Also I'll say HALT! 2MILL NOW! like Korrd said saves me some time if you know what I mean.
Another thing that bits is that I just up grade my gunboat to a Corsairs G/N . so now I cant hit traders. will then I guss I'll have to hit bigger targets :(
