When you join a pirate faction(except hackers, if i remember right) they shower you with money and show you with cash and show you instantly where to get the best ships and weapons. So within 30 minutes of joining you are geared up and ready for some lolwut pirate action.
To try be a decent lawfull. Not only are you gonna be out numbered and out gunned right from the start. Your not gonna get money thrown at you, so you have to trade or mine. This means your gonna get pirated 10000 times on your way to making enough cash to even start to equip your ship..And most likely thooe pirates are the guys that joined the server an hour before and got told"go forth and plunder" with almost no restrictions on what they can do.
So once you eventually get some money you need the equipment. No one will tell you where it is because its "classified" and is probably in the "restricted areas" which lawfulls are not allowed to enter(although pirates freely travel these routes too). So you must risk sanction just in the quest for a competative ship.
You starting to understand where this is going?
You may be about to say that im thinking entirely of pvp and not roleplay...not the case.
A lawfull NEEDS a powerfull ship for good roleplay. No point turning up to help a trader saying "back off pirate" if you dont have the goods to back up your demand. You need the pirate to have at least some fear of you or they will just kill the trader anyway and completely ignore you.
Now ppl talk of getting ganked by 10 fighters and caps while pirating in liberty. Those ppl need to stfu. What do you think would happen if a couple BH or LPI showed up in corsair territory. I remember trying to take a bounty once and ended up running with no fewer than 12 capships chasing me, with fighters on the way for backup.
And what do you think happens in the real world. Some dude robs a bank. You thing the police say..."hang on...we gotta only send in one guy to make it a fair fight.the winner walks away free.."
No thats not how it works.
We need more lawfulls and we need them to actually help each other out. And we deffinately dont need those that name themselves "cpt.this" and "Admiral.that" and think they have the right to go around giving stupid orders for no flippin reason and then make threats when someone wants to do thier own thing.
Hmmm now I was gonna start playing again with a single char with deep rp. Ive nearly convinced myself I need to get back into the armed forces:rolleyes:
wow. im sooo making a police/navy character when i get my pc running *claps hands*
