Thanks Flynn, glad to know I'm not the only one going for this kinda thing. I'll probably pop a message in on the weekend once I've cleared my desk a little.
Now, I dunno how you handle with Pirates, are they your buddy or just neutrals whatever but I'd suggest you to turn into a Freelancer IFFed Pirate or just a Freelancer, gives you more possibilities.
I'd like to RP with your character as it seems to have a sense of humor like my Pirate Character, which is the Stereotypical Pirate "Arrrrr!" you get what I mean.
Pirates I go on a case by case basis, it's one of the draws of the junker ID that most pirates will let me pass or better yet ask me to keep an eye out for incoming transports or lawfuls. With a freelancer ID I've found that 90% will simply pirate you, regardless of how you try to work with them.
At some point I will probably go for an SRP so I can move into Kusari but I dare say my IFF will still be Junker. However I do like a challenge so maybe I can convince your pirate that this junker isn't all that bad, give me a yell sometime if you see me on.
