@ elgatodiablo: Having both a Pirate vessel and several Junkers and Smugglers, I have a few things to say on the subject.
#1 ... on principle, the Black.Pearl does not pirate Junkers, Zoners or Smugglers ... so long as they're role playing as such.
#2 ... wouldn't pirating a Junker void docking rights on Yanagi, Rochester, Beaumont, Bornholm, etc? Think about it for a second. How can I take you seriously when you demand cargo from a Junker and then dock on Yanagi?
This is a reputation issue here ... my Junkers and Smugglers are more than happy to "donate" a portion of their earnings to our Junker allies. But you really cannot have it both ways. Sorry ... but if you're gonna pirate my Junkers (that is make demands, fire a CD and take my shields down ... especially prior to saying anything) and then I get to watch you dock on one of my bases as if you were a friendly? Um ... nope ... don't think so. I don't mind you asking politely and me joyfully giving ... but do NOT treat me like a common trader.
End of story.
@ Kambei: Yes ... we .:j:. are more than willing to donate. But like I mentioned above ... ask me like you'd ask a friend. You send a CD at me ... I better not see you docking on a Junker base. I've got two .:j:. characters ... but I've also got a couple independent Junkers. Show me respect and I'll be willing to give you a piece of the action. Treat me wrong ... just don't do it.
