Hmm ... well actually ... I'm usually the pirate that gets CD spammed by a lawful. Typical scenario is me doing all the talking (maybe 10 or 15 min worth) before this guy says a word. I usually get a CD up the tailpipe before I get words. Then when I'm sitting still and waiting for the guy to say something I start seeing flashes from his guns. This of course is just after he shouts "Target spotted ... engaging." I keep trying to say something to get this guy to say more ... and I get the guns. THEN when I try to jump to cruise and keep from loosing what's left of my hull I get CD'd more. So I stop jumping to cruise ... I start thrustering away while being shot at ... and still more CD's. About 20 min into this ... whatever you wanna call it ... but don't call it role play ... the guy tells me to leave Liberty. Duh ... coulda said that before the drama. This is the crap that really annoys me.
Oh ... and I'm usually being CD'd to death without having done anything. Just because I have a Pirate ID doesn't mean I'm actively pirating. My pirate is presently in New York enjoying his vacation from Sigma 13. Just being there I expect to get heads to turn and question my presence there. But imagine this ... my ID actually says I can trade with it. And guess what ... that's what I'm doing in New York ... yeah ... a pirate trading. And what could a pirate possibly be trading? Why medicine, food, water and the sort for the poor. Yes ... Rogues and such aren't that rich ya know. So I ferry medicine and food and water and other necessary supplies to various unlawful bases ... and they're all legal goods too. Question here ... would you should "Pirate ... kill him" when I'm role playing in this capacity? Or would you let me go about my business and watch me for any trouble I may cause? Which is role play and which is PVP?
I see your point there. I was typically thinking of trader - pirate interaction.
Every encounter can annoy alot if the other guy is just mute...
That idea of charging 1000 every // is brilliant! Head over to the commands thread and make a suggestion.
