Community Tutorial: Why would you want to fly a ---------- ID?

[Sath]

Code:

The corsair ID has a lot to offer in terms of PvP, with a wide range of enemies. Be it the Omicrons or, Bretonia, or Rheinland, you never run out of things to shoot at. Due to these many enemies on all fronts, the corsairs are rightly branded as "the most hated faction" for a reason. The shipline is quite complete with varieties of ships which are equally capable of offering the best PvP experience if flown correctly. You can also get to use Hogosha shipline, Gaian shipline at 90% core and Farmer Alliance shipline at 75% core. This can come in quite handy when you want to fly an agile bomber, and you don't want the Praetorian.

Piracy is pretty much spread out for you, since you can get to pirate at most of the mining hotspots, namely Dublin gold fields and the Omega 7 Silver, Copper and Cobalt fields. Not only those, there are a lot of other mining fields where you can sneak your way in and tax those rich miners. Omega 3, Omega 7, Sigma 13 and other systems that border the house space serve as perfect hotspots for finding traders, who regularly pass in and out of those systems, usually with valuable cargo. Piracy can also be fun, if you can make traders supply some food to Planet Crete, which is an escape to the normal cash or cargo piracy.

Smuggling is also quite effective with this ID, as you get to use the Corsair Train, which has an improved cargo space, and you also have access to the Pilgrim Liner, Pirate Train and the Raba, which are normally used for smuggling. You get to smuggle artifacts and you can actively hunt down cardamine and blood diamonds smugglers. But all of this comes with an hefty price, as throughout the course of your smuggling route, you won't find many bases to escape, apart from the rare Junker/Zoner/Gaian bases usually. ~Moriarty.

My try at the Corsair gameplay, feel free to spot out errors and rectify them. I will try to make one for OSC, IC and some other factions that I mostly play, if I get the time. And kudos Spazzy, I found quite a lot of useful things from this thread, especially the Cryer ID.
