Well... this server once was a hardcore Rp server. There are still a lot of great RP pilots out there. But it's turning into a PvP playground.
I agree it's a bit unbalanced when you see all the sanctions against lawful characters, whereas unlawful pirates may do almost whatever they like... Even fly lawful Miner ID's and pirate completely freely. Then when the Navy or Police occasionally pops by they just dock on any base and disconnects. If any lawfuls get hold of them they start whining and send reports.
I've seen it dozens of times. Miner ship glides by blowing three or four ships up, steals their cargo and then docks on a Liberty station.
It's turning in to a real problem. The Diamond run never had these problems. There were good RP'ing pirates.
If the pirates keep robbing and killing, and even combining the two. How come no lawfuls go after them? Easy... you'll get sanctioned for it.
