Privateers

[SMGSterlin]

Thats a very bad idea, seeing as the idea of a privateer is to attack behind enemy lines, so itd need to be able to go into gallia, and attack people who arnt enemies of Bretonia, but are in there helping gallia.

However, a line prohibiting attacking lawfuls inside bretonia might be good.

The idea and roll of a Privateer is to disrupt trade to the enemy, not attack behind enemy lines. The privateer is more of a support position, not an offensive position.

Personally I like the Privateer ID and would be sad to see it go. Historically privateers would sometimes go astray and attack neutral or even friendly targets for personal profit, thus becoming pirates in fact.

At which point, he isn't a Privateer anymore, he's not working for or under the house, at that point he's a pirate, so he should use a Pirate ID, not a privateer ID.


I agree with Aeternus, to an extent. I would say allow them to even enter warring faction's house space, but to only be allowed to attack or pirate enemy military, or traders belonging to corporations belonging/headquartered to that house.

For example, a privateer could go to Kusari and pirate all the Kishiro/Samura he wants, but if a random freelancer or Zoner transport came along, they would be off-limits to the privateer.
