[OPG]

[Muleo]

I'd like to see a faction that engages in co-ordinated piracy.... if I might be so bold, I think it would be an idea to
1. be more specific about your base system and have ONE cruiser there that can not leave the system
2. eliminate gunboats completely - restrict ships to fighters and bomber and pirate transports - a gunboat can pirate effectively on its own - if this is organised piracy then the pirates should be in groups of smaller vessels; there's nothing wrong with operating a faction with this limitation - the XA and LSF do it. Bear in mind that you talk about targetting Bretonia - the BPA and QCRF factions very tightly regulate the use of anything large than a bomber; for the sake of balance I think this would be a more effective way of achieveing your RP intentions
3. corsair faction=corsair ships; no exceptions, nuff said.
4. to pirate in Bretonia there have to traders in Bretonia and I can tell you there ain't many...
5. limit piracy to seizing cargo rather than creds - the cash demand thing is for independents; a faction needs to distinguish itself

Our base system has always been Omega 5, Cadiz, I guess I should have made that clearer.
It's close to Bretonia and Hessians, a lot of traders pass by, and the design of the ship is very, 'yarr!' (crossbones/skulls on the hatches).

Well, you're just saying things I've already said so far Athenian:)OPG is a band of pirates who have banded together for solidarity, easier pirating, and helping each other etc. It's true that as a group, we don't need gunboats for piracy anymore. And lately we've been toning down gunboats for piracy.

We're already limiting ourselves to corsair ships only, so that's not an issue.

But I don't feel comfortable about getting rid of gunboats altogether. I use my bomber, the Crucifix a lot more lately, but every now and then I feel I need to use the gunboat. But we will stop using gunboats for piracy, unless theres nobody else around and you're pirating on your own.

Indeed because of the BPA/QCRF's handicap, we are no longer allowing cruisers in bretonian space, and limiting to MAXIMUM 1 gunboat at any given time.

We already seize cargo rather than credits, unless the trader would rather not let go of cargo (VIP/passengers, kinda oorp for a trader to hand over passengers), or the cargo hold is empty.

True, but the fact that the BPA uses Hussars is our decision. We're free to choose any ship to combat the enemy, but we're restricting it to Hussars for an RP purpose.

The OPG has the right to use any ships they want to(so long it's logical).

They don't need to go around accomodating other factions.

On two final notes, I would be extremely displeased if the OPG decided to take me too seriously, then brought 8 Cruisers into Bretonia.;)

The other thing is, as the QCRF becomes more active, the BPA will be shifting more to law enforcement, and away from national defense. As in, we will not be defending Bretonia as much as before from foreign invasions, but will focus more on stopping pirating, terrorism, and enforcing trade regulations.

*Hat Tip to OPG*

The RP for your faction is noticeably improving, and I will miss the occasions we have had to combat. Don't be surprised if the QCRF calls us in for backup though!

Thanks for the kind words, elgatodiablo, that's a shame, I loved taunting the BPA:P
