SICK OF THIS CRAP........

[centauri5pirate]

Don't forget that sitting around Manhattan pirating blatantly when there are no lawfuls about is metagaming. Yes, that's right...metagaming. It's bad RP.

Do you think that actual pirates would risk their lives...and stay that close to CAPITAL of a lawful nation?

I propose three things:

1) Put some high level NPCs in New York. It's Liberty's capital, and frankly, just because it's the start-off point, does not mean that should be easily breached by enemies.

2) Change the start off point to Connecticut. There, it's a free for all, and eventually, the underlevel PvP whores are going to tire of just getting ganked by other starfleas.

3) As a understanding between players....don't pirate in a lawfully dominated area(where there are lawful NPCs, platforms, bases, etc...) where there are no lawful players around. Don't get me wrong though, feel free to hit the trade lanes and pirate. Just don't sit outside a Jump Gate, a Planet, or a lawful base like Pueblo Station and pirate, even if the NPCs are hostile to you.

It's bad RP. Don't do it.

This is exactly the point I was trying to make. My objective was not to whine about the fact that there were no lawfuls there to prevent this from happening, (obviously we all have real lives to attend to), my point was in the spirit of RP, unlawfuls should realize that they shouldn't be sitting outside the capitol of a house killing innocents. Unfortunately, the occasional 1-2 lv police npc patrols pass thru, but what threat is that? It seems to me if a group of criminals came within scanning range of the house capitol, a fleet would be immediately mobilized to deal with this threat, not to mention the planetary defense guns.

If this isn't respected, what's to stop anyone (on either side) from doing it? "After 2 months of searching, I finally found the secret base of the Rouges in the Badlands!! I think I'll get 5 or 6 of my buddies and pirate the pirates!!!" You can bet, if say, 5 or 6 LSF guys were camped in front of Buffalo or Ouray in Colorado just shooting pirates in the name of peace, someone would be screaming on the forums.

All I ask is that people think before acting. Should I be here? Even though I can be here, should I be?

One of my chars is full green to the Xenos, not because I'm unlawful, (he's BH Guard actually), but because I kill a LOT of rogues on missions. This does not give me the right to fly to Ouray and hang around or dock there by any stretch of the imagination. Realistically, if my BH ship were to come within scanning range of that base, a fleet of ships would be sent to immediately eradicate the threat. I will deliberately shoot a Xeno npc just to make him red to me, simply because BH and Xenos are absolutely bitter enemies.

I know we can't stop all the metagamers, all the OORP chat by newbies, and some of the other unpleasant things that happen here, like cheats, but if us deticated gamers try a little harder, we can spread an example for the others. There are so many excellent RP players here and these players are the true backbone of Discovery.
Just my thoughts.... and apologies to Liberty lawfuls if it seemed like I was pissing in your pool.
