Quote:Credits can get you these things. And think Africain warlords they get food and feed themselves not thier nieghbors.
Sure they can, but often at incredibly high prices. Look at the corsairs and zoners, the corsairs may buy food off the zoners, but the zoners over inflate the price. Now if a pirate sees a train full of food and was hungry, would he really ignore the food, and take credits, then go and waste all these credits on expensive food?
then, i ask 3M cause traders earn 5M at least for their route, so i let them 2M. A real pirate may ask more, remember the trader pay to preserve his life !
and i naturally down the tax amount when its not a adv train/whale/tanker
Well, you have to realize even pirates deal in stuff like diamonds and gold. Example being the illegal diamonds smuggled in from rienland to liberty. The pirates get their hands on it, then sell it to the junkers who then smuggle them onto lawful bases. Almost every commodity can be used by pirates, in fact I'd challenge you to come up with something a pirate couldn't use.
I would go further to say that pirates wouldn't deal much with credits, and use a barter system.
Example... Pirate steals a shipment of gold, he brings it to a freeport, where he trades the gold, for a shipment of food...
All a matter of opinion though, I do RP a poor rogue, who steals food and supplies whenever possible.
Iâll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because itâs flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
