Bounty Hunters Gone Wild

[Baltar]

JihadJoe: Nope ... the OC ship just left after the Osiris was destroyed.

Rudo: Yup ... and I've seen them dock at Yanagi and other unlawful bases. I've even seen a Bounty Hunter ID on a Lane Hacker gunboat.

Well if you really want to get down to it junkers aren't really unlawful. I mean they are to a degree but no junker would go and attack a hunter outright and nether should the reverse happen. So really in rp terms a bounty hunter could say that he had bribed those junkers to let him stay near their base, considering they aren't direct enemies.

But it is really oorp for those hunters to be killing the junkers right next to their base and for them to be docking on them. And sorry to say this Baltar but sig 13 has been like this for a while, and it won't be getting better anytime soon. New York in my opinion is alot better, hardly any cap ships around anymore with the new laws in place. You got the powertraders, oorp bounty hunter cap ships, and oorp pirate cap ships in sig 13. Just about everyone in that system is a little missed up(except maybe the GMG guys, they seemed alright in the few chances i ran across them).

And also why was a order battleship in sig 13? That to me seems worse than those hunters wasting a few junkers.

Well Recon ... read up on the Junker Infocard I included below. My point here is that you cannot be both friendly and hostile to the Junkers. Junkers are more aligned closer to unlawfuls than lawfuls. Read up on the difference between a Trader ID and a Smuggler ID. They are both traders ... but their loyalties are different.

And yes ... Sigma 13 has been very OORP ... read what I wrote above. And I've had the Black Pearl there for quite a long time. Traders power trading through hostile pirate space (which should be too hostile even for a bounty hunter) is a bit OORP. Yes ... Sigma 13, Chugoku and Hokkaido are hostile pirate infested systems. As such ... you should expect the pirates to have the upper hand. Just as you'd expect a house system like New Berlin and New York to be heavily defended by the navies, security forces and police. In the outer systems and the independent systems, pirates and unlawfuls have the upper hand.
