Okay once more into the breach, eh Sindrom? I have to agree. No one fought harder to maintain indi pirate status than I did. I was always being questioned about my ship (IMG GB) and my weapons( I once had a dragon missile launcher). I got tired of defending it. I'm a lane hacker now, with the appropriate ID and ship. I have researched my role and I'm working it. Do I miss my IMG boat? Kinda, I was used to it. Do I resent the change? NO... because I want to improve my RP experience. I sit back and watch people completely go against their own ID and Factions, not just in equipment but in word and in action. I just shake my head. I existed in a gray area... for about a year. I got tired of it. But this isn't a gray area...
If you are a pirate... by golly you aren't going to use anything BUT pirate tactics. It simply doesn't make sense. However... That argument is like a dead horse... and this one has been beaten to a pulp. Suffice it to say the only people we really have any control over is ourselves. Sad but true. If people don't listen to reason and respect our desire to RP, hey fine... we simply move on. If their actions or words, for that matter are so beyond the pale or reason... well sorry...folks....Screenshot and report. I see no other recourse. To me that's the last step. I always try to give an offender a heads up in private... that's my way... but yanno eventually it becomes too stupid for words and diminishing returns... I've not had to report anyone, thankfully most listen to reason, or I simply just get outta there. But to be honest, My priorities are to have fun. FUN!
So if I have the time to educate and support, sure I will... but when it starts to feel like a job... I'm not having fun anymore. So I'll go anti social and move on out. I wish I had an easy answer here. I'm afraid Disco is like life and you'll find, as Jihad Joe says... "Screaming Monkeys" just about anywhere.
I hope you guys won't let it completely ruin your day and we can get on with some FUN!!!

Pirates only attack civilians. (Corporations/Freelancers)
Revolutionarists attack their Government (Police/Military/Supply convoys).
Terrorists do whatever they want.

Senor, I would welcome you to take a tour of south america, where the drug barons are better armed than the military. But enough of this.
Lolcaps in Liberty? 'Tis de riguer, not just for disco, but for freelancer in general. Every server i've played on has had this disease. No pvp in NY doesn't fix it; cos without PvP to drive RP, it gets dull as hell.
would be cool if cap weapons were switched off in NY though... but bombers were active... hehehe.
Well... I think I'll be getting myself a nice big missile spamming RP enforcer!
As a drunken pirate, I was rarely attacked by Cops, Even Mercs were happier to chat than struggle with my happy missiles of partiness.
Now as a lawful, I think I'll happily type out my noisy RP while I watch the pirates evade my fireworks.

Ha Ha
Yeah.. And I invite you to South Africa, where the thugs had big guns, so we changed some laws and now our cops have bigger guns and a 'shoot, don't shout' policy!
EDIT: oof.. soz for the double toast. Can haz spread?

I wouldn't think either of those examples would compare well to the size of the Houses in the Discoverse though.
If I see any Outcast Destroyers in Liberty, I order them to return to Omicron Alpha at once. If they refuse... boom.
That's about as much as I can do. Every time I threaten an Outcast they say "be we're allies, lol"
Yeah, allies don't go and piss all over each others turf. You bring your Destroyer to Liberty and you will be asked to leave. If you refuse, or return, I will mount your head on a pike.

I am a little disappointed people skipped this or took it too lightly. It's true, I've seen it happen and it's not good. It leaves some good, decent guys in a swarm of lolwuts. They even get jaded or leave. And it's not good.
