Buy a BMM
Why? Pirates can get them for free :D

Canadians are so polite they might even give it to him.
"Hey, since BMW... err... BMM you got there. Mind if I come inside and take a look. It won't be long."
"Uh... ok... I guess... You from around here?"
"Oh, just passing by when I saw your gorgeous ship. Say, do you have any double barrel shotguns for sale?"
"Oh, yes. Indeed I do. This one here is by Krystark Arms. Highly polished. High quality parts. Very smooth action."
"Oh... well I happen to carry around a couple of shells with me, for safety reasons. Let me see if this actually works."
"Oh no! Please sir, don't put them in the...."
BOOM BOOM!
"Oops... I see the problem here. The safety turn off when you flip this little ship. Hold on there, guy. I'll fly us to the nearest hospital in Spider!"

Lol. Not everything in life will be easy. Grabbing a BMM would be a challenge to grab from a player, but to grab one from an NPC... I think the IRS can handle that :D

All we need is a little help learning the layout of the ship and then it's much easier to attack. NPC AI patterns are normally the same in games. We just need to learn the routine that the AI picks and BAM, we know where to place our shots. With 9/10 people in the verse being AI, it's far better to learn how to attack those ships first since they will be most common. It's also easier to get closer to an AI who isn't afraid of a black and yellow Caterpillar racing towards them at full speed while escorted by Cutlasses, Redeemers, and Buccaneers in similar colors. :P

Alright, got the keys. Let's go!

I like your mind.
Buy a BMM
I'm going to. With the privateering boys from TEST. We're going to "buy" a few.

Think of the bright side. We're YOUR pirates. This means when you want to wish bad things on someone and you start thinking, "I hope they get attacked by pirates", we're the magic fairy people who can make that happen. Just let us know how much loot they have and we'll put them in our performance evaluation queue.

Want to visit some pirate space port and look around? Call us up and we'll give you a ride over there. Want a rare weapon that only military should have? We'll steal it for your and scrub the serial number! Don't like being attacked by pirates? When your TEST pirates show up, you can feel safe knowing that we won't attack you.... assuming that you can prove that you're in TEST. No free passes on your corporate sabotage characters who mask their TEST identity. It's in the Code, page 145, section 4, paragraph 3. Owl can recite it by memory but I just know the summarrrrrrrry.

Well, my new shopping list looks like it's going to be a BMM and a Redeemer. Going to have to trade in my Super Hornet and my Herald (probably) for this one. I don't want too many ships. Gotta stay focused on having the best tool set for my career. I decided that having access to every career wasn't very good. Too spread out. But having a difficult career and having all of the flexibility within that seems like a better idea.

I need ships for moving cargo securely. I need ships to protect that cargo. I also need ships that can ship a variety of cargo. I don't have a Hull series because MISC.... so maybe this here BMM is what I need. I'm not too keen on alien tech but if I don't like it then I can always make it into something else :D
