' Wrote:Some feedback... I've had good encounters and bad ones. Won't name names, but I'm pleased to see there's a faction that is still involved in cargo piracy rather then a bunch of bombers and a generic request for 2 million credits.

Just a polite request, this goes for both Hogosha indies and [|] - Don't start pirating silver ore/raw diamonds above Shinegawa or lanes leading to it. Junkers did that in the past in Liberty with gold ore, then turn around and sell it at Detroit - it's led to Junkers being disallowed from pirating inside house space.

' Wrote:All I have to say on this one is that the Hogosha are not the Junkers, nor are the Farmers Alliance Junkers, and Kusari is a different place then Liberty. Its a cat and mouse game, and we in Kusari are the cats. You have to be a smart mouse to survive.

' Wrote:What happens when the KNF or indies catch you pirating? Y'know, it's still illegal, no matter who does it...

' Wrote:I'm not sure specifically what led up to the previous comment, but isn't pirating above a station (as per the last comment) pretty dumb mouse like? I mean... they can see you. Won't they just alert security when you land?

' Wrote:The KNF does catch Hogosha and FA pilots pirating from time to time, and they are dealt with appropriately. As I said before, cat and mouse.
Absolutely. But it's possible to do it successfully, swoop in, hit the target, swoop out.

' Wrote:But you do it outside stations like, err, Yukawa, Shinigawa, etc.

People can see you, lawful operatives can see you, station administrative personnel can see you...

It's a bit off.

' Wrote:It's Kusari, much of the population supports this type of action. It's a wink wink, nudge nudge type of society. Yes, the KNF know of the Hogosha's activities, but they aid the government, and so unless the people need to do it to save face, they tend to ignore much of the actions of these two groups. In fact, it's quite possible the station commander or docking officer called those FA or Hogosha in knowing there would be a juicy target there for them.

A wink is as good as a nod to a blind man.

' Wrote:But don't you think that as soon as the local law enforcement (or the Navy) comes along to see what the problem is, the station master would turn around and go "YEAH! AND I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY!"?

Given that the KNF will respond to Hogosha pirating with a less than happy approach, then why would they then be permitted to dock when KNF, indie or official, come up to the outside a station after they do something wrong and are being questioned on it?
