We've been looking at the situation re: unlawful bases in the Taus for a while, and how unlawfuls having to base from Freeports or be on good terms with the Outcasts creates a bit of a regional lack of variety. There are changes lined up that'll hopefully improve that situation. Also, y'all might've noticed that the generic Pirate IFF is one of the few without any associated objects ingame; don't expect it to remain that way forever.
Honestly the base idea would most likely be something like a fighter-only base, or something. Less noticeable if there were only fighter raiders instead of entire battleships.
Thyrzul, the preamble was simply how this idea was spawned and the reasoning behind it hence why the proposal never mentions the faction in any regard, I even mentioned the idea was self-serving but could be of value to everyone. Also a PoB was option 1, the increased font size is unneeded and quite childish.
Hannibal, how does an old request have absolutely anything to do with this idea? Perhaps you should consider the fact that I'm active in trying to improve Disco before you tell me to "make more of an effort" and perhaps such attitudes is what causes those who attempt to make a difference abandon the community?
Azuari, I've already answered this in a previous reply and in the preamble.
Petitioner, thats excellent news and I look forward to seeing the results. By extention is this proposal helpful towards that goal or has something similar been taken into account?
Inferno, I'd like to include transports under that list (though I don't know if its possible) but otherwise I agree wholeheartedly.
Add Ithaca Base, Taormina Outpost, Mindelo Hangar, Manoel Outpost or Lagos Depot to the list. My wild guess is that in last two or three years, more NPCs bases spawned out of thin air (= were added with little to no roleplay regarding their creation) than vice versa.

ok, ok.. i should have said "shouldn't spawn out of thin air" rather then "bases don't spawn out of thin air"
happy?

It's same idea just "a system to the left" if i may joke about it..

If you were trying you would've made the POB a year ago like i did with some other players..

I'm really sick of those "attitudes" i get to see more often nowadays , if you want something don't just say " mommy give me that shinny new toy" but instead put in the work to obtain it, that's how you make a difference!
What I am quite sick of is your narrowmindedness and basic inability to grasp two very different concepts, twice now you have accused me of wanting something for myself and twice you have accused me of putting in no effort, something I consider a supreme insult, so allow me to make this clear to you.
I do not want a PoB, I have never wanted a PoB and if you had the mental capacity to actually read my ideas before hammering out an astronomically ignorant reply you would have noticed that in neither of my two suggestions have I ever requested ownership.
Now if you can manage to grasp that concept perhaps this discussion can continue.

Just reminding folks, we are looking at this issue and are coming up with solutions that will help those utilizing the Pirate ID when they feel they cannot use a Freeport or an unlawful base due to RP/Rephacks. A POB is not something on the cards as far as I am aware so rest assured of that. The Pirate ID WILL be receiving their own retched hives of scum and villainy in the future.
