Hypothetical Scenario: Pirating for cash is no longer done - Ayem - 09-13-2009 ' Wrote:Actually, I have yet to see a Bretonian or a Kusarian in there. It's usually the =CR= or indie IMGers who pirate me while I'm hauling cardamine back to Buffalo. Liberty is a safer place to move the stuff than the Taus. Novel idea, why not smuggle, pirate, -and- RP. Bucket find big giggle here. Hypothetical Scenario: Pirating for cash is no longer done - pipboy - 09-13-2009 ' Wrote:What needs to happen is for the prices of cargo to go WAY up at unlawful guard bases. Cassini lies in a critical location between the Liberty and Kusari houses ... thus the Rogues would profit greatly from the heavy trade that goes between the two houses. All commodities pillaged from traders should be double what they could be sold for on lawful planets. This would encourage piracy of cargo AND would keep these "lawful" traders honest since you'd have to be green with the Liberty Rogue Guard in order to sell the stuff.The problem there is that we would end up with a TON of Junker loltraders going back and forth between legal bases and Junker bases rather than pirating.

You're slipping mate! I'm disappointed! Hypothetical Scenario: Pirating for cash is no longer done - Exsiled_one - 09-13-2009 that's 4 there stoat:P You're not counting one that took the pic =) Hypothetical Scenario: Pirating for cash is no longer done - joshua - 09-13-2009 Truthfully, i wouldn't want to pirate at all if i could only cargo pirate. i've been in a gunboat before, and i hate being swarmed by 3 bombers, i hate not being able to RP well, and it cost a lot more money to run than a bomber. But a bomber doesn't have enough cargo space to get more than a few hundred thousand. i usually demand a mil for a regular trader,(not a freighter, a transport.) and i think thats reasonable. I get money, the trader still gets profit, and we're all happy in the end. However, cargo pirating would make the trader get much less profit, and you would have to sell it somewhere where it gets even less. why pirate cargo when you can just trade then use /givecash? It just doesn't work out the way i see it. Hypothetical Scenario: Pirating for cash is no longer done - ivr56 - 09-13-2009 That Pic is Win Ivan :D @Josh Example when I go out on a Corsair PIR Transport. Most stuff I acquire in Bretonia or the Omegas. Can be sold for great profit in Gamma or somewhere else in the Omegas. Not at minimum but at maximum value possible. Take Nuclear Devices for example from someone in Omega or Quantum Multipliers from someone in Sigmas. Take it to Gamma and you make quite a bit if your in a PIR Transport. Well worth the trip. I once made 37mill in 2 hours. More then any trade run(s). As long as you have some knowledge of where stuff (Stuff thats usually traded in the area you are setting up shop) gets good profit. You can make more then trading and its alot more fun. Hypothetical Scenario: Pirating for cash is no longer done - Exsiled_one - 09-13-2009 Record still stands with 60mil in 20 minutes =) Hypothetical Scenario: Pirating for cash is no longer done - ivr56 - 09-13-2009 :( Lucky You Ivan. Must have caught quite a bit in one spot all carrying high value goods.
