The Order of the Lion

[Hawkwings]

That would be an excellent argument and doubtlessly very true if the Corsairs were capable of summoning up the coordination and organizatorial skill of a banana. Fortunately for the Order, they can't, so we feel validated in assuming that we can, in fact, take the Corsair Empire on, the Knights of the Lion being superior in terms of planning and competence in fights.

The Corsairs would not be the largest organized crime organization in Sirius if they could not manage internal structure. Disco (and Freelancer) lore trumps in-game player actions.

The Corsair Empire is a little like the European Union, really - very powerful in theory, but rather ineffective in reality due to the tendency of its members to scheme and politicize against each other and to get hung up on minor details.

Once again, Freelancer Lore vs player actions.

The Corsairs might, theoretically, be a very powerful force. However, in actuality, the Corsair "Empire" consists of a great deal of absolutely bloody incompetent unaffiliated pilots whose sole purpose in life seems to be valiantly defending Planet Crete's docking ring and of several more organized factions whose half-hearted attempts to guide the unwashed Corsair masses along the road to intelligence and sanity seem sadly ineffectual, and who are themselves beginning to drop in quality (this is only my perception of matters and isn't intended as a flame attempt).

Sounds like a pretty effective flamebait to me. So you mean to say that all those Corsair NPCs out there pirating NPC convoys, smuggling artifacts, and doing all that day-to-day business kind of stuff suddenly don't matter? Don't exist?

The Corsairs the Order of the Lion will be dealing with in practice can't muster a force to "squash us like a mosquito". Hell, I doubt they could even squash a real mosquito - they'd probably need to settle on a chain of command as well as move away from Crete to manage that.

So you're saying that the only thing that counts is PVP results?
