police vs Pirates

[chopper]

Jinx - LPI will not exactly attack or chase Hackers/Rogues/Xenos/Outcasts out of the system.
They will do the patrolling, yes, without capital ships, and without even gunboats, chasing off criminals from the planets etc.
LSF and SA all round up, together, and then they go to kick Pirates butts. Usually.
LPI should not act, attack, patrol together. Ofc, if officer is in danger, the rest will come to aid.
But it will be only Patrolling, Scanning for contraband, RP-Arresting etc.
Fighting with criminal fleet isn't exactly what police can take care off.
And i will remind you that almost all Criminals do have a fleet.
So, it can easily be appointed to the LSF, they act as special forces anyway.
Police should not go away from Trade lanes, and populated places.
Mainly Planets, Jump Gates (this will actually make smugglers use jump holes instead, as they should, we will not be securing those), Stations etc.
Every officer would have his own jurisdiction, for patrolling and scanning.
It can start in New York only, and expands if needed.
But, as i said, i have my own vision of it.
If anyone wants to act as a Police, and fly a Gunboat, i'm all against it.
And will not go in that one.
All should have the same ship! And i mean it!
1 and 1 only ship, for all officers.
If they start going "Oh, i like claw better, i'l take it", or "Oh, i'l just take one of these Liberty Carriers, it's easier to play with 1 hand", then it's stupid.
But if done properly, it can work.

I think it could work, without making too many problems to the LSF and SA.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
