Pirate ID Wrote:Pilot carrying this ID is an independent Pirate of the Sirius sector, who :
Can demand credits or cargo from traders and unallied smugglers or factions
Can trade and escort smugglers
Can ally with unlawfuls, mercenaries, and freelancers
Cannot ally with any lawfuls
Cannot use any ship with more than 4,300 cargo capacity,
Cannot land on any lawful bases across Sirius except for Zoner bases
Now let's compare the Pirate ID with other unlawful IDs, here for Example Liberty Rogue and Blood Dragons.
Liberty Rogue ID Wrote:Pilot carrying this ID is a Liberty Rogue, who :
Can trade and escort smugglers
Can fulfill bounty contracts
Can demand credits or cargo from traders and smugglers Can engage pirates, terrorists and lawfuls within their Zone of Influence
Cannot ally with any lawfuls
Cannot use any transports with more than 4,300 cargo
Quote:Pilot carrying this ID is a Blood Dragon, who :

Cannot ally with any lawfuls except for GMG,

Cannot attack the GMG.
Now I have marked the important Stuff. As you see, Pirate ID'd Players arent actually allowed to fly around shooting everything they can, yet...they do. I actually havent seen any Sanction about that, and everyone keeps moaning and whining about Pirates who can lol around Sirius and shoot everything they can.
I'd really like to have the People's Mind changed, the Player using the ID incorrectly, the Player moaning about Pirates and the Admins a little, because no-one actually cared about that yet.
Oh yeah, and you can discuss that and my Opinion now.

I am ashamed to admit I did not notice that. I had assumed that the pirate ID was merely a copy paste of the faction pirate ID.
Let it be known from this day forth that folks abusing that will get slapped. The pirate ID is clearly not a free for all and was certainly never intended to be. Admins will be updated and rest assured folks will be properly informed. Thank you Schlurbi.

So......pirate ID players are effectively the juvenile delinquents of Discovery? They may lurk around the trade lanes and seek to mug folk, but no more random attacking of police/navy/people delivering pizza?

That's pretty much exactly it, Fenian. They can't use it as mini terrorist ID any more. Now it's piracy, piracy and some more piracy of folks who are currently in the process of mining and or trading. There will be no pirating Navy fighters to abuse the ID. Likely there will but that's a matter for sanction discussions.

' Wrote:Pirate ID is a junior Terrorist ID, make some unreasonable demand and then you have permission to shoot ANYTHING.
I heard a rumour that it was gonna have this line added,
* Can only pirate Freighters, Transports and Liners
But that turned out to be not true, and now it turns out it only counts towards Traders and Miners...
Well, we already had Sanctions for unreasonable Demands.
