Question from a sanction thread

No.
If you are in the same group with them, you might all get in trouble.
Capital ships should remain outside of weapons range (and that includes cruise disruptor range) when their fellow faction members are pirating.

Does this mean pirating in capital ships such as Gunboats or any large Rogue, Hacker, or what-have-you ship is not allowed?

The rule is for Cruisers and Battleships, and very clearly spelled out on the IDs and in the Server Rules. So gunboats are fine.

... Why can't capital ships pirate?

It is unfair, pointless and unsatisfactory to pirate even a liner in a cruiser and above. But the real reason is because it is NOT allowed!

Gameplay balancing and meaningful portraying of piracy.

theoreticaly if u could afford a cruiser and its upkeep why would u need 2 pirate?

That's the bit about maintainance: it would cost you more to run the ship and pay the crew than you would get from pirating people. Capital ships are there to beat up capital ships and fight off military and paramilitary forces, not grub credits.

Ah, thanks all. It's a lot easier to follow a rule if I understand the reasoning behind it.
