The following link is to a "Tech Use in Sirius" spreadsheet. It is meant for guns and the like, but I think that you could use it as a guideline for your situation as well.

actually, with one of my characters i have a pirate that (in RP) "Stole" a Liberty Navy ship, and he uses that.

generally, how i see it, generic pirates in liberty and bretonia are best suited using the pirate line (rogue/molly), in Rhienland, borderworlds, or the arbeiter (assuming the current model becomes generic pirate only while the unioners get their own shipline), in kusari, eagles would fit, or perhaps borderworld/BD line. or, you could use a zoner ship, junker ship, or a civilian ship, though a bit of background RP goes a long way.

I think the name of the Conference Gunboat speaks for its' self. It's obviously not designed to be a piracy ship... Think of Pirate ships, they are always named something fear-inspiring, like "Bloodhound" and "Dagger"
Who's gonna fear a ship named "Conference"?
I'd suggest making a forum story for your Gunboat, and chose one that best suits your characters' origins as a pirate. Start with making a request to the official faction of the Gunboat you wish to acquire. Post it in the diplomatic channel and go from there.

wrong, ship comes first, story second.
Why?
Because I refuse to write a story to GET the ship, that's simply wrong in my opinion.
I'd rather pick a ship with a Tag and ID that fit by themselves, something that doesn't require
"special approval" from the admin team and start building my story from there. A story may
"evolve" from something that doesn't require approval to something that does, not the other way around.

yes... but this sheet says nothing about TAGs ...hence my questions.

Quote:Freelancer Tag and Pirate ID.It doesn't. So long as you can appease the requisites for racking some technology up from a peculiar outlaw group, you'd be fine.
Says on the Pirate ID that they should use stuff from their faction... does it mean Civilian only?

SANKTION comes first, then story third :laugh:
I mean, as a indie pirate you should choose who you will be aligned with. For example OC aligned people could use a Outcast gunboat. If you are *really* independant, then, the Zoner gunboat is your only option.

A brainwave occurs.
It would be very useful and would solve alot of problems if Indy pirates were only allowed to use smaller ships; Bombers and Fighters etc. It would reduce alot of the cap spam and make things strictly realistic. But i can see how this could bring out alot of rage in some people, namely indy pirates in cap ships.

' Wrote:wrong, ship comes first, story second.To me it makes more sense that you write the story first if you're going to be requesting a ship that is purchased from a Guard system belonging to a faction. For example, if you wanted a Liberty Rogue Gunboat and you entered Cassini without first getting permission from the LR-, we'd blast you to pieces on sight. We'd also assume the ship was stolen if it was not being flown by someone with an LR ID/IFF or Molly ID/IFF, since the ship is only sold in the LR and Molly guard systems respectively.
I believe most Gunboats are now sold inside Guard systems.
