Nothing to Raid against. There are no convoys of Gallic ships going to the front lines. No trade going on between Kusari and Galia to interrupt. It is hard to play a "Role" with no opponents. Even, farming NPC transports is pretty useless as it results in hardly any credits earned.
The largest combat ship that can be flown with that ID is a Gunboat. Raiding behind the enemy lines as an attack force, seems out of place if you are attacking military targets, plus plenty of places already in game for people to get their pew pew on...Leeds, Magellan...soon Cortez. I have never understood how BAF does not have its ZOI enlarged to include parts of the Gallia.
The most Privateerish role play things I have found in-game to focus on and build off of are, supplying Leeds with weapons (Freighters can dock), and taking Nanocapicitors to Council controlled space and returning with Fugitives to Texas (earns credits). But again, little ingame RP to build off of.
Plus, knowing how things play out in Discoville...as soon as a group of people get together and raid Galia in Snubs/VHF and Gunboats, they will be met with Cap ships. If they bring a knife, you bring a gun...the moment they see you have a gun, they go get a rocket launcher....once you see they have a rocket launcher, you go and get a howitzer...and so forth and so on.
It is cool though, seeing that there is some interest from you people out there.
