Want other places to land? Then make nice with the factions that own those bases.
Things are fine the way they are.
This idea is not about "place to land"-i got plenty of those,it's about hole new system that can maybe provide new RP or something like that for all pirate-ID'd players in game...that's all...
Well... there kinda cant be. It'd be like making an indepedent trader system. It just doesnt work.
Unless you want a Pirate Freeport, XD...
Indepdent Pirates are generally greedy, and dislike other pirates taking their 'bounty' or swag. Why would they work together only to be backstabbed...
Oh, and wasnt Tortuga one pirate colony or something?
' Wrote:a ship would be fine. there were a few pirate colonies in history. they failed, from what i understand.
Like Tortuga in the 17th century. Places like that only existed thanks to the area being very lawless during that time period. Once the area became more civilized "pirate" settlements were shut down. They had no hope of surviving without the good graces of the European powers.
Ninja'd...

Sort of, it was technically a French holding. The "pirates" were allowed to operate from there in order to both hinder Spanish expansion in the area and to help clear a pathway for the French to move in to the Caribbean.
But,this is not Tortuga or Europa or anything like that-this is a video game,we can pretty much do what we want ...so,as i stated before-this is just an idea about expanding current RP and game as it is...
tortuga was a freeport - literally. ( at least for some time during its existance )
pirates as such are too diverse to govern anything bigger - once they get organized ... they usually gain a gang name - like "corsairs" or "outcasts"
for that matter - even liberty rogues is a wide stretch when it comes to a system - but then, the liberty rogues are not just "rogues and vermin in liberty" but the liberty rogues have become a "trademark" - a gang of their own.
' Wrote:tortuga was a freeport - literally. ( at least for some time during its existance )
Exactly-something like that but with not tolerance for anybody without Pirate ID...look guys,everybody agrees that we need something more to keep this game running so we might as well do something about it...i'm not saying that this is the best idea of all times but it just might work...
much can be achieved via roleplay - if other players are not adamant with the rules
things usually go well when they are conducted multilateral - and things usually go wrong when things are done unilaterally
when pirates kind of "agree" that a specific station / area is "off limits" and that it becomes a place where they can relax - things can just happen like that.
for example:
- pirates decide that bering is quite a good place
- freeport 2 is around - and offers a free haven for all
- pirates simply "behave" according to the freeport rules and are not only allowed but also welcome
- lawfuls may complain here and there - but lawfuls complain all the time - and what is it to the pirates anyway
- the pirates also defend their "place of freedom"
and the catch is...
- these things take TIME
- conduct such a roleplay for sufficiently long - and players will just realize that this IS a pirate system
- it takes time till the public attitude changes and realizes changes - but once it happens ... even such major changes can happen without involvement of any dev
what players need to learn is to be patient and persistant. - what they also need to learn is to really play their role ( and not the role of an *Please watch the language* - but an actual and complex "role" ) - and to communicate to other players on an equal basis in ooc - so that things can be orgaized and coordinated.
you can many a things in RP - you don t need a dev to flag a system to be "a pirate system"
