' Wrote:Well, as I figure it, docking costs money, rooms cost money, food costs money, drinks cost money, repairs cost money, and a Phantom can always just give away more money if they don't like us. Overall, lots of money can be given to pirates. Like I said before, we're elusive, so we might spend days at a time inside of Buffalo or Nome calling room service, which is lots of money for pirates, if you ask me, as money is no problem to us. Call that 120 credits a day chump change to the server economy, but to an average person, 120 credits a day for food ration is a lot, not to mention what we could be overcharged because we know we're creepy and it's kind of disconcerting to have a Phantom sitting inside the base.
As to angst, look at the Junkers, they're shaking in their boots running to quickdock whenever they see us. Apparently we're scary. Heck, there was a poll in Flood a little bit back about whether we or the Keepers were more of a threat, and despite the fact that we're less than half their size with at most 1/8 their arsenal, we were voted as being more dangerous. I don't really understand how, but with that kind of reputation, I can really see the movie scene Schlurbi described as being something of an RP reality.
The Xenos actually enjoy our company because DarkStar was a Liberty folk and we technically made our start as Xenos. GC aren't of the utmost moral caliber, so I think blowing up KNF and Samura is enough for them. Mollys can be easily sated by blowing up a whole bunch of BMM. Bundschuh can be pleased by exploiting the inadequacies of the Rheinland government. Unioners can be happy when we blow up Republican, LWB for Synth Foods. Blood Dragons are another story because they are xenophobic, but destroying KNF and Samura appears to do well enough (as far as I know).
Actually as -VF) member I'd definately be unhappy about Phantoms docking on our base, since Bundschuh people consider themselves to be lawful usually. And sorry, but I haven't seen any attempt to play on Rheinland goverment atm.
Unioners are mostly mere pirates, so if you pirate on their turf, they might get upset. Very upset. Luckily your reputation saves you.
Although, I've never seen you specifically hunting down corporate targets for separate factions. Perhaps do that?:P
EDIT: Oh, and Blood Dragons. They're not completely xenophobic, that's rather individual case... Destroying KNF & Samura shouldn't be enough for them - why'd they allow some terrorists (who have even more fearfull reputation then them) into their secret system? Although I'm not ]bd[ anymore, so it's not up to me to decide.
