Piracy We got a home in 2.5

[Bigcracker]

Oh kmon @Bigcracker , who are you trying to lie? We all know you are not a pirate, you are just a great and legit guy....

I am the best pirate ever sir. I will have you know that I watched all the pirate of the Caribbean movies and only drink the lowest qualities of rum.

 

[AntiSqueaker]

Pirates? I would never stoop to such levels of ruffian-ness!

I am a humble asset retrieval and redistribution agent, specializing in high stake cargo transfers and negotiations. My customers tell me they need something, and I strive to deliver fast and efficient service, with a smile!

Didn't you start the thread [In-Game Occupation] Let's raise the Black Flag! (TEST Piracy)?

 

[Blind Owl]

See? You will end up being a legit not pirate guy, it's your destiny. You can try to deny it and say you will be a pirate and bla bla bla but at the end, you know you must be a great legit no pirate guy.

Will you settle for honest grey man? I don't want to be an outright pirate, but I'll certainly be a privateer. :)

And leave a trail of shit wherever he posts!

Obviously. People need to know I've been here!

Wang Leader 1 to Wang Leader 2!

Hehehehehe.

I mean ARRGGGGHHHH!!!!!

Good sales negotiation. You're hired.

Precisely. Good upstanding citizens we shall be. Servants of the people.
As such, i have rethought the name of my 'pillar. Henceforth, she shall be known as:

All of black sails?!? That's what makes you a real businessman flying the black.
I'm only on season 2. :(

Don't mind the hull breaches! They're "Speed Holes"

Or glory holes.
Or both.
Whatever works.

The vacuum of space will suck like you wouldn't believe. Almost makes the part where your dick freezes and snaps off worth it. If that happens you can always get a prosthetic. (It IS the future after all) I decided to downgrade from my original package to just the Crushinator 5000. It comes with LTI, so I don't need to worry so much about the space hookers in space Vegas.

 

[Soven Taliesyn]

Not bad guys. We simple liberate certain cargo from certain individuals. You know, to lighten the load for them.

I think of us like Robin Hood and his merry band. Except the poor we give to is ourselves.

I'm a professional space-side cargo courier assistant. I find you and lend a hand and delivering your cargo to its future destination. I offer my services at a discounted rate and personally see to the transfer and retrieval of the cargo. My customers EXPLODE in anticipation of my services just at the sight of me. Most, will often be given a lead filled bonus as a gift for using my services.

Just because some of us are bad guys doesn't mean we are bad guys ^_^

I was actually thinking of this already. You just beat me to it.

Hehe, had to get the prosthetic after one too many visits to space hookers in space Vegas eh?

Jesus, we should start a thread where we post our job descriptions and tag lines, etc. This one is mint.

We seem to have quite a few popping up here and there. Asset Reallocation Division. Haha

Nah. Kept having issues finding space suits that would fit. (Kids in highschool made fun of me by calling me Girth Brooks) so I downgraded with a more manageable prosthetic.

Girth Brooks, Hahaha. Sounds like a hard life.

That's what they tell me....I don't know personally because I would lose consciousness due to lack of blood going to my brain every time the hot Spanish teacher picked up a dropped pen. She only bought the narcolepsy explanation the first few times..... #ToughTeenYears

 

[Shadow Reaper]

Why is it automatically assumed that we are the bad guys?

That is a good point. If you play a standard outlaw, you won't be able to enter UEE space, at least in your own ship, and since they have treaties with the Xi'an and Banu, you might not be welcome there either. The Vanduul are already most unwelcoming, so basically you're relegated to the small handful of unaligned worlds. I think if what you want is real profits you may be better off pirating more discreetly, and making the Vanduul your primary target. At least there is no loss for them being all pissed at you, and the galaxy is your oyster. And really aren't pirates a lot like the Vanduul? Who is going to be upset with those who prey upon the pirates?

I was just wondering yesterday if you went to a comm station with a Warlock and slapped 4 Pirate Bucks asleep, then a friend came in with a Reclaimer and towed them all inside, do you get to keep the goodies? I'll bet you could cut those cans open fast enough to stop the self-destruct. You'd have a near endless supply of Bucks. It wouldn't even matter when they got all blown up--you just get in another.

Taking a handful of support ships to unaligned worlds like Oberon you could set up a piratical kingdom that is mostly at peace with all but the Vanduul. From there you could prey upon pirates in Fora, and Vanduul across their entire Southern boarder. You could trade with the Banu at Trise and mine Leir until they get smart and you swat them into submission, and then with one blow carve out a new empire there and to the West. And if the odd Javelin or Bengal went missing with all those F8's while struggling against the Vanduul. . .well. . .it would be rude of the UEE to ask if we'd seen it. . .

Really if you want intrigue, you could set the Leirians and Banu against the Vanduul and each other and end up dominant power over all three. The thing is you need to be able to kill Vanduul with true expertise. . .but you can get paid to develop that in Vega, and that totally makes you the good guys with the UEE, no matter whom else you need to dispatch with extreme prejudice.

Jesus. You've put some thought into this. As I've started before, I was planning on being a bit of a grey man. Not quite a black hearted pirate, but more of a privateer. Someone who operates on the fringes, but can still travel unobstructed into UEE space.

This method you've thought out is quite genius. Kudos my friend. I'd like to hear more of what you have to say in this regard.

 

[Shadow Reaper]

It only sounds like I have thought it out because I was convincing a friend earlier today of how much fun SC and Test is going to be. I'm hoping he'll bring his group over from Pardus. I was not suggesting to him that this above is what Test would do, but rather that any group inside Test could set out to do stuff like this.

I also love the pirate dynamic, and think stealing ships ought to be the most rewarding profession in the game, but I am not thrilled by the outlaw status. I'd rather find a way to justify privateering and then when we need say, a Starfarer, go take it from the competition. (Will we learn to love to hate "The Corporation"?)

Anyway just saying, if you curse over the belted systems on the galaxy map, you get descriptions of them, and the place I was describing is a good home for anyone who wants adventure. Even if all you want to do is fly escorts, there is good mining and transport work there. Thing is, it is right where that pair of Vanduul Void Bombers attacked and killed everyone just a few months ago, so it is not safe.

But if we wanted safe we'd be planting geraniums, not polishing laser crystals. . .
