Corsair with a Question

[OldTimerAL]

You do not INITIATE combat within the no-fire zone around one of these bases. Thus, if you are a bounty hunter / corsair / whoever - and you're cruising by and you see someone undock from the bae - leave them alone.

You are free to CONTINUE combat within the no-fire zone if that combat began OUTSIDE the no-fire zone. Thus, you as a bounty hunter / Corsair / whoever start a combat with someone and you're 15K out from a base - and your target then flees towards the base - well, it's his choice to try to flee, and your choice to pursue. Feel free to engage him all the way up.

I second Agmenatwork on what he said about engagements near Freeport and Junker bases, and I actually believe that that's how it works in Omicron Delta near the Freeport.

As for the escort, I think that Corsairs should/and are be able to escort Artifact smugglers in and out of Liberty with anything smaller than a Gunboat (excluding the GB), as long as they don't have a whole fleet for one smuggler.

There is no damn reason for a Corsair to be in Liberty, escort or not! If you are taking the jump hole network, there is a tiny feasibility, although the route is so long winded it would be impractical for a Corsair escort fighter to accompany the trader.

Liberty is well out of the Corsair ZoI. Corsairs have been sanctioned for being in Liberty in the past.

Said Corsairs who have been sanctioned are idiots for being there with no RP reason whatsoever. And as Vince said the Artifacts are sold best in Liberty so that makes it an interest of the Corsair to deliver them there (be it tagged as Corsair or not).

For the love of God, no, no Corsairs in Liberty. Please please please tell me the route you took didn't lead through Alaska at that, Vince, that'd make it doubly bad.

You didn't move through Alaska, did you? Right? Right?

Now if I they told you where would be the fun of smuggling and evading the police hmm ?:P
