    Piracy Piracy Division/Squadron Organization Brainstorm

    I'm actually pretty stoked that someone wants to do this. It's just going to add to my list of things that I'll want to steal. Guns and components are easy, but other things like hydrogen peroxide, sodium chloride, and potassium nitrate or other materials will be more fun. It's like a scavenger...

    Piracy Piracy Division/Squadron Organization Brainstorm

    I honestly just found out a few days ago that TEST had divisions, so I went looking for something. I found 2 threads that looked recently active and so I started posting. Honestly, I thought I was still in the other thread. If I did something wrong, then let me know. I may have signed up for...

    Piracy Piracy Division/Squadron Organization Brainstorm

    Not impossible, just harder because of the security. There's also not just a on / off for security areas. It varies depending on the sector. 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0%. Places like Sol are 100% while other places like Banshee, Fora, and Nemo are easier pickings but still in the UEE. Especially...

    Piracy Piracy Division/Squadron Organization Brainstorm

    Ah, I see the disconnect. You're pirating in unprotected zones with no police / military. I'm not. To me, that's like stealing from your own neighborhood. I'm going to the rich UEE neighborhood across town. I'm not sure you should waste your time trying to convince people to bail since if they...

    Piracy Piracy Division/Squadron Organization Brainstorm

    That's the kind of negotiations that leads to them not doing as you say. It makes them switch to fight mode and they resist. In that situation, you have to break their spirit first or have a well known reputation. It's not like you can really negotiate with an NPC without some sort of mini game...

    We'll tell them, "If you drop us some cargo, then you get to decide what cargo we get, but if I have to come aboard, then I'm picking which cargo I get!"

    Piracy Piracy Division/Squadron Organization Brainstorm

    I think that it's going to be a little difficult to convince a player to drop cargo. Some of them on the forums seem to think that dropping cargo is a fate worse than death and they don't seem to want to reason with a pirate. Though they have good reason to because not every pirate is going to...

    Yup. Large doors help load things fast, like the Crucible and the Caterpillar. The 315p and the Reliant Kore get tractor beams, I think, but only the Caterpillar and the Cutlass get them for free without sacrificing other hard points. This is probably what is going to make those 2 good at...

    I think that for loading and unloading cargo, a Cutlass is going to be the best so long as its a short distance. It's a ship that can help escort other ships. It's got a cargo bay. And it's got 3 tractor beams, 2 in the front and 1 in the back (that's what I quoted from her). Unless you mean...

    Piracy Piracy Division/Squadron Organization Brainstorm

    I know that it's a little under gunned, but I like the idea of using a Crucible to haul stolen goods. It's got a large area that you can stuff things and since the top opens up, loading them in is as simple as getting a Cutlass to throw them in with the tractor beams. Just think, it's really...

    Just remember that the more people you have, the more loot you have to take in order to make the same profit. He's thinking that a Hull E would be king because of it's SCU to pirate ratio. The problem that I can see with the Hull E is jump point size. Looking at the maps, pirate areas favor the...

    Aw man, 2 more Reclaimers and and Caterpillars? You're just making me like you more and more. Having an entire fleet of stolen ships with nothing scrubbed clean and no insurance seems like the goal of the baddest most grand pirate of them all.

    So... piracy means that we get to climb on buildings and be a Dick or is this in reference to all of those other fine businessmen at the table? Looks like I'm going to need to get you a lot of materials. :)

    Yeah, that looks like some of us. "Don't run. We are your friends!"

    M.A.R.S.? TEST pilots who pirate are from M.A.R.S.? Does that make them martians? :D

    Piracy Piracy Division/Squadron Organization Brainstorm

    My thinking as well, but I won't spit upon the guidelines before they are presented. I think that they are more so that our pirate crews don't go around griefing people and so that we know what to do when TEST security shows up. TEST does everything, including play both sides of the coin, so I'm...
