How would you do without guns or shields?

[Ironwatsas]

Aside from being raped by NPCs while typing, I would do quite well without weapons or shields. Infact, several of my characters are flying ships that aren't really combat capable in any capacity (Junker in a CSV with a Barrager, Barrager turret, and Sunstalker missile, and a Civilian/Wilde in an armored transport with lots of starbeam-1 turrets), but they get by just find on RP alone.

Infact, most of my characters can get bye without really killing anything aside from NPCs most of the time. Heck, my LWB dosen't even 'pirate' in the traditional sense. If he's alone, he takes cover behind that metal bit outside the New Berlin <- Dresden jumphole and asks for donations and banters with the populace and voices his parinoia (and flirts with anything that even sounds vaguely efeminate). The only time he actively pirates is when he is flying with other LWB pilots on joint raids.
