Piracy in Disco

[Nevearo]

Right now im making a fraps record of how hard it is to pirate..youll see yourself.

I know how hard it is to pirate. I have done such myself. One of my characters is a corsair, and I've pirated quite heavily on other servers. I'll give you a hint of something that helps.
/setmsg 0 This is a mugging. Hand over all your valuables along with 2 million credits, and nobody will get hurt.
**OK**

**NAME: This is a mugging. Hand over all your valuables along with 2 million credits, and nobody will get hurt.**
And blamo. It takes pressing three keys to give a "2milordai"
That is exactly 1/3rd the amount of keys it takes to type out "2milordai", and is in RP. It also works to setup message replies from your traders. Rhincodon Typhus actually has 5 messages of different kinds of "Static."
Of course I recommend personalizing it for your faction. Such as my Corsair,
"Senior, my familia is starving and you look rich. Can you donate 2 mil to feed my family?"

And the part with the gates?.. whats wrong with them? I ussaly see NPC near the gate.. about 400 k. Need an example? Outcasts near Newyork - Texas gate.

It isn't about what NPCs are near a gate, it is about the fact that a hostile creature near a gate while a NPC trade group with escorts goes through breaks the gate. Get a friend, go to a gate, watch a group with escorts break into two with half transitioning through the gate and the fighter escorts attacking you, and then try to have your friend pass through. As long as the NPCs live and are somewhat close to the gate, it isn't possible. I've sat at those for three minutes before. This only occurs at Jump Gates. If this ever gets fixed, by all means resume pirating there, but as long as it occurs, don't pirate at them. The fact you have pirated at gates and not realized this makes me sure you need to gain better situational awareness. People at Jumpgates aren't more likely to stop, they are just stuck. Sure, you have "stopped" more people there, at the cost of using broken game mechanics. If you are okay with that, what are you doing reading this board
