IFF - Freelancer ID - Pirate ID TAG - Sh| Leader - James Callahan ( Snak3 )
Description
With this faction I hope to introduce a fresh breeze of ideas and to improve the quality of piracy encounters by making them more true-to-life situations.
◆ Information Exchange Network
The main idea about this faction is to create Pirate ( agent )- Smuggler/Trader ( proxy-agent ) Skype Chat, which would be used to gather information on corporate shippers ( Shipclass, Armor, Cargo, Destination etc. ) by proxy-agents, who in return would gain immunity from Sh| agents and chance to buy off extorted or looted cargo from intercepted corporate trade ships.
However, to be successful, this needs active involvement from proxy-agents, who would be playing on their own and after spotting corporate trader, writing in Skype chat about it, so that Sh| agents would know about it and attempt to intercept.
Imagine: You like playing as FL IDed trader. And even more you would like to get immunity from certain group of pirates. All you need to do is contact Sh| agents and request to become part of this network. After that, you can inform The Shadows about that greedy corporate shipper with Gold Ore going from Dublin to New York. Any free Sh| agent will try to intercept that shipment in Cortez/Magellan/California and cargo pirate it, so that any proxy-agent in Skype chat could get 50-50% deal on extorted/looted Gold Ore. For all we care you could even go in the same direction after informing The Shadows and buy off that cargo yourself!
◆ Capturing hostile ships
With SRP open once again, we have an option to transform in-game actions into in-game results. Capturing hostile capital ship is obviously harder than simply shooting it down. However, with great teamwork and patience it is possible to either RP peacefull occupation of hostile capital ship or doing it by force - destroying every single piece of equipment the capital ship has ( Weapons, Shield, Thruster etc ) and attempt to RP in-game about capturing it, towing it to certain spot. After that, a roleplay of repairing it could be conducted via hiring our allies or proxy-agents to supply materials, or by extorting needed materials from corporate shippers ourselves.
◆ True-to-life piracy roleplay
Well, this one is harder to deliver because it would impossible to monitor every single member of this faction, however, some basic guidelines as "make a demand fast", "Act as in command of situation", "Scare the target" could lead to fierce piracy roleplay. Obviously, not everyone understands that good roleplay is not always the long chat characters have before exchanging fire, but that is main aim - to make people afraid of Sh| agents and comply instantly, without questioning them or trying to call for backup.
