hi lo,
DMSP here. I've been playing for a while and reading forums and hearing of them from a buddy(Olaf Gustefsen) The topic of pirates and pirating has sparked my interest,
question...
If pirates are supposed to be looting and taxing ppl who have RP tags adn ships and stories, why is run or pay the only option? I've tried pirating on this server. It's tough. you really need to have a gunboat/battleship to hurt some of the bigger ships unless you are really really good, (i am not)
Furthermore, If running is your choice as it is with most of tehse people, when they die there should be somekind of tax, life is more important than whatever is in your cargo. i dont care if you did just happen to find 1000 giant nomad brains or whatever.
Could lives, or a bounty bullitin help?
say, I was a pirate you refused to pay, i chase you down your run for soo long i have to brreak off, shouldnt there be a forum or place to post, I want your hide, someone get him!!!
or what about a TAXMAN group, that factions can request a tax blockade in thier sector?

Yeah the life of a pirate is a hard one.... Arrrrr.... I think the name of the game is to team up with a buddy. One carries a cruise disruptor and the other a Nova or some other BFG, and even transport shields drop quickly when pummelled by two VHF's.
As for the other thing, there's nothing to stop you posting bounties on traders who run away and generally p' you off. Or just having you own hit list, like Archelon of [Nayehiya] does.

So first... you are not allowed to pirate in anything bigger than a GB. - read the rules
Second - get a Bomber with a supernova and a Train disruptor and suddenly you will hurt the bigger ships.

I've got my hunt list for just this purpose. Check the link below for Atalawohisdi's Hunt List. This is where I've posted my list of traders that don't like to pay, mouth off and such. Check it out. If you wanna add to my list, just post to that thread and I'll add the trader to it.
