A pirate that can't pirate is just silly. Junkers shouldn't pirate because that would encourage a massive crackdown on their activities. Also, if this is about independent pirates using faction "turf", the faction unlawful IDs gives them the right to shoot them without even making a demand, just the required roleplay.
To address the initial post, the concept of a demand is a vague one.
And so shall it stay. At the moment a demand could consist of "Hand over X sum of credits", or "Hand over the cargo." all the way through to "dance the funky chicken".
If a pirate ID'd character has to do in order to deal with this, is issue a demand to a lawful, for example a lib navy ship or rheinland police ship.
Lets take an example from my pirate ID'd character.
"Evenin' cop"
"Why are you dropping out the lane?"
"Lootin' and a-stealin'... Now... just to make me happy, how about you sing me a song... see I'm a musician, and nothing is gunna quite satisfy me like a good tune."
"Uhm... No."
"Your loss sunshine"
*pewpewpew*
This is perfectly within the rules. Hell, given the fact we don't have a set boundary on what is and what is not a reasonable demenad, it's very very easy for this to work exactly as it has before.
Although, I'm not overly fond of adding restrictions to IDs, and I'd generally be in favour of logic and trusting the playbase to use the things responsibly until they prove they're failing to do so.
Well Joe, I made this Thread without any Wish to add Restrictions to the ID, I just wanted to remind People that this isnt a PvP ID or Semi-Terrorist ID.

The Pirate ID ... in my opinion ... should avoid contact with police, navy, military, security forces, etc. They should be concentrating on piracy of goods and credits being carried by transports and freighters.
The Pirate ID has no ZoI ... other than all of Sirius.
My suggestion to add to the Pirate ID ... "Cannot attack police, navy, military, security forces except in self-defense." This should keep the loling pirates at bay and actually using their ID for what it was intended ... piracy.
Guys, you don't get the Thread. This whole Thing isnt about nerfing anything. It is a Thread about the Pirate ID compared to others. Look closely and you see what I mean.
