Corsairs pirating Zoners in Omega-49

[darthbeck]

if you are pirating close to a base. and you are pirateing players of that bases faction. you should launch a CD at the base or NPC,s so that they will attack you. not doing so is a violation of server rules.

NOTE: i cannot find the section in the rules where is says this, but people can, and do get sanctioned for it.

Its the bit about harming server gameplay. Pirating someone outside their own base while being neutral to said base is a prime example of harming gameplay.

Sub-clause of 6.2:

"All reputations should be in accordance with the faction followed, all enemies must be red, at least during the course of a player - player combat"

Enough said.

Oh, more than enough, sir, more than enough.

Any more language or behavior like that will not bode well for you atall, atall.

Now, play nice. M.

I understand completely, but like a guy said (don't remember his name" : Corsairs are "invited" by Zoners in O-49 to protect this system from Bretonia and to attack Molly's on Dublin. It's really OORP to attack a Zoner as a Corsair in a system were your mission is to protect them ! If a Corsairs pirate a Zoner in Dublin or Omega-47 or whatever else (except maybe Baffin but it's another matter), absolutely no problem ! But not in O-49... Nuff' said. I hope some Corsairs will read this topic and be in the right way to RP in o-49. And, I say it again since I'm not understood by everyone, I have no problem with pirating since it's RP with the official story of Sirius. Over.

Well,

why don't you just put a nice bounty on that fellows head?

When he has been blown up often enough he might overthink his RP and attitude.

Beside that - there's a lot of OoRP by many members (not just indies) of all factions/houses,
and a lot of those comparsions to Real Life are just ridiculous as mostly referred to by
kids/teenagers that haven't experienced yet what Real Life of matures is like, not to talk
about what it is like when you're a cop, soldier or similiar.

Don't get me wrong - hear what I mean, not what I've written.

I do also consider pirating in front of a homebase as OoRP and just plain stupid, even more
when the attacker is/stays neutral/friendly with the baseowners.

And the RP relations between Zoners & Corsairs in O-49/O-50 makes this kind of behaviour
even more stupid and OoRP.

well, if carsairs attack zoners in o-49, then zoners should send him message in gamma, zoners are neutral, but it doesnt mean they will just stand and see how corsairs are stealing zoners money.

So zoners should organise raid into gamma to show corsairs that they cant do whatever they want to.:P

This is contradictory to Zoner's views. Violence is a last resort. We're about as pacifist a faction as you can find in Freelancer. Military operations are only an option once diplomatic options have been exhausted. And even then, defensive military operations are what we'd do. We would not launch raids on Gamma for several reasons, but the main is this;

Not all Corsairs are to blame for these incidents, so punishing an entire nation comprised of several similar, but separate, divisions is an absurd idea. Not only that, but the only thing that will come of it is further and more intense fighting. They pirate in Omega-49, we attack Gamma, they send in fleets to Theta, and on and on it goes. Zoners don't launch raids, and we aren't about to start.

The situation in O49 is a little ridiculous. It supposes to be Zoner's home system, but if you stay here a while you see that is corsair's system. Tons of corsairs NPC, pirating every Zoner they meet. You could see fights between Zoners NPCs and Corsairs, and of course between corsairs and BHG. It is not peaceful system.

Now I hear corsair's player pirates Zoner on planet orbit. It looks like Zoners asked wolves to protect sheep.

Maybe Zoners should invite some other wolves in this system, to slow down corsair's appetite.

[Doc Holliday]

While I believe that the Zoners asked the Corsairs to help protect the system, you will always have a few individuals who break off to pirate even their host Zoners. I, for one, have been. Mind you, I am no power trader being that I fly a Borderworlds transport but I did a little RP and got out of it.

As far as inviting other wolves into the system to slow down the appetite of the Corsairs, they're already there. They're called Bounty Hunters. I've seen them in the form of NPC's but they aren't restricted from the system as you will find them planet side. And, from time to time, I've seen some odd "wolves" there to include Gaians, Lane Hackers, Hessians and even Mollies.
