There needs to be a limit on how much Pirates can demand.... - SeaFalcon - 10-22-2010
' Wrote:very hard work - sit at one place and shout "10m or dieee" like many pirates do - no matter what somebody fly, or what the cargo is... my statment is that trades and miners is supose eran many money - and pirate characters schould not be created to earn more money than traders or miners - becouse we finish with server where will be no traders - no police...
If You decide to play as pirate You schould do it becouse You want some fun - not to earn milion of credits...
for instance I play as military, and that is hard - becouse I do not earn ANY cach in it, only on some misions or for kill some wanted pilot.
Do you actually have a pirate/unlawful or anything like it?
You call fun trying to talk while smashing your CD button against some stupid miner?
You think it's easy to sit at a lane while 50% comes with a lawful gunboat that shoots you with almost no words?
playing a military pilot isn't supposed to earn money by his actions.
(Thats why we can transfer cash between characters.)
it's job is to keep the enemies of your space outside.
doing some patroling ain't hard.
And in RP the millions arn't supposed to be for the pilot but for the pirate group where he belongs to.
And having a list of each ship+commodity ain't working.
To complex as I said before.
I'll give you 2 tips:
1. Plays both sides
2. Learn to evade pirates.

As I said, there are good and bad pirates, just as there are good and bad traders. You choose to ignore this fact and seem to want to lump all pirates into the bracket considered "bad". My error in thinking you were suggesting a considered viewpoint here.
Your comment "You schould take it becouse You want some fun - not to earn milion of credits..." applies to every single person on the server. NOT just to pirates. Traders are not some rare and wonderful breed that deserve special treatment.
And this:
"for instance I play as military, and that is hard - becouse I do not earn ANY cach in it, only on some misions or for kill some wanted pilot."
ALL of my ships are sef-funded. That means each and every character I have (bar three. Two of which were gifts) started out in a starflier, and more recently a CSV with the new /restart commands, and earned every single credit used to buy guns, ships, shields, armour etc. That's hunters, pirates, AND navy characters. That means doing missions, hauling cargo, stealing cargo, extorting funds and collecting bounties.

I was flying as pirate in other serwer, and it was too easy, and I do this becouse of fun... I never charge more than 500k and almoust all the time I got the money, and that could meet the costs of repairs and ammunition...
That's why I think that those prices are fair square.
evade pirates do not make any RP - so this is not a solution...

1st
Lies.
If a corporation can evade any pirate encounter te'll take it.
Hiring forward escort for example.
2nd
Get yourself a pirate on this server and then give your opinion again.
3rd
because I demand 2 food rations doesn't mean everybody needs to do so.
4th
I'm leaving this topic because there is no way your opinion about piracy can be changed as long as you don't have experiance from both the sides in Discoverygc.

so some Miner is shoot those stupid rocks for over an hour and some pirate can take 50% of worth becouse he have a boomer or friend with CD?? Come on!
this is for prevent situation that we have that so many pirates, and people who just live on "5M od dieee" aditude
people who play for fun (not for money) as a pirate do not have a problem with that pirces.

5millRdai people play for fun.
Escorts also play for fun, but are underpaid most of time or don't even get hired.
And maybe mining for 1 hour? You are doing it wrong
Also the pirate might just have fought for his life for 1 hour while trying to get to the miner.
This was my really last post here,
Hope you get a pirate char on disco someday;)

So if the pirate can't catch anyone in over an hour and some trader takes 90% his cargo (as it technically belongs to the pirate at that point) that is fair enough, right?

Try to pirate...like really devote your time to piracy
Fun ? Fun has nothing do to with it. I bet you 90% pirates will RP, and 90% traders won't.
Btw love your piracy chart, I'll print it out and put it on my wall.
