Pirate Train

[jpo]

see the thing about the pirate train is... it looks really cool but its pretty OORP for smuggling (in most cases) IMHO. It gets caught in trade lanes and doesent have CM's. Like it says on the info card its only for short trips etc etc. However, I don't feel that it would be OORP for anyone to fly whom is white or green with. as it is sold on a freeport that means anyone. The discription says it is for pirates only however...

The Pirate Train is the largest transport-class vessel available for the Sirius pirates. Although offering an increased cargo bay, this ship has weaker defensive capabilities than the Pirate Transport. Using the Pirate Train on long and risky routes is considered inefficient; however, it comes in most handy on shorter routes between nearby unlawful bases. Ships of this type are also used for supplying pirate capital ship fleets with H-Fuel and other necessary goods.

Quite honestly I think it would be bad to have on a regular trader. I have been caught with a smuggler ID and that ship not smuggling in front of Manhattan quite a few times and nobody has uttered a word when I wasn't smuggling. However if someone complains then you have problems. I expect that someone would sooner or later, which is why I feel it is a bad choice.

Now, if you had say a [Gateway] tagged ship that would be very OORP. But for a trader ID with no IFF it would be OK, but possibly frowned upon by others.

also, they noted in a post above that it would be 'suspicious', however no law should ever attack you simply for having a pirate train. It will get you watched but not shot.
