pirate typical ships

[joojoo1975]

Interesting considering all we ever see of lawfuls is juggernauts, battleships, battle cruisers, cruisers, destroyers, gunboats and bombers. Just be thankful pirates are not allowed to fly the big ships. Not to mention that lawfuls outnumber pirates.
I suppose you'd rather we fly LF's (that's Light Fighters) ... like the starflea? I fail to understand your argument. And Police ID's ARE found on gunboats. I've seen quite a few of em. But then ... the police don't normally deal with pirates. Pirates are usually dealt with by the navy or by bounty hunters. Those guys fly battle cruisers and such.

Look at it this way. If a pirate flew the equivalent of a liberator (LF) when he pirated ... the transport's guns would cut through him like a hot knife through butter. Pirates don't fight the police. Pirates hunt traders ... and many traders fly the Container Transport and such. The CT has 12 class 7 turrets. I've been in an HF attempting to pirate a CT. I didn't last long.

Pirates use what it takes to get the job done and what it take to survive the onslaught of capships out to kill them. I've argued that bounty hunters should be limited to gunboats ... I barely survived the forum backlash from those bounty hunters.
Sorry to come on so strong ... but these discussions are repeated nearly every two months. Pirates are the most battered group in the forums. Stick around a while and you'll see complaints about pirates usually come from traders that don't like being pirated. Pirates tend to avoid confrontations with the police and the military ... usually because the police and military outgun them.

Its a matter of survival and effectiveness. We're not looking to get into a fight with you.

for the first two parts about only good guys in mondo big ships. This answer was what i was looking for. with that said, i'll prolly drop the police character and build up a navy character. most likely, i'll just make another account and make him navy. thankyou for that insight mate. and no i do not expect you all to be in LF, it's basically all i ever see in new york is GB, bombers, and VHF, that's what i didn't understand

secondly.about the police and pirates issue? military usually deals with pirates? ok. even more reason to get a navy character. also about the CT i'm not advocating a LF or a HF, but i'm not understanding a GB or a bomber, that's all mate.

and finally about the fact on pirates being bereated constantly. If pirates would stick to the ransom rules, no problem. but what i usually get is a pirate who will ransom me, then tell me if i come back again with diamonds he'll kill me or make me drop my cargo. or i am told to where i can and cannot sell my cargo. these don't sound like pirates to me, these sound like political soldiers. I'm new i'm sorry if your group gets constantly attacked. i'm just a newb tryin to figure out disco's idea of RP mate.
