Pirates in penn

[Bear]

I have just been pirated in penn by a rogue in a gunboat. Sure I can understand fighters and stuff but a GUNBOAT. The system is there for new people to learn the basics of freelancer. Now because it is a system like that and they are learning, sure have pirates in it but have them use fighters and stuff. At least give them the chance to escape. Gunboats and such are un-needed to pirate these people and it just makes no sense. These new people don't want to pay/can't pay the asking price of these lolboats and they haven't got a chance to escape. Aside from this though penn must have the most amount of pirates in it apart from the NY/California and vise versa trade lanes.

The new people want to make a start and not have to wait another four hours for it. Sure they won't have wait four hours if they pay but it might have better cause it'll take them 4 hours to get back to amount of money they had before. Why can't pirates go and focus on the slave runners and stuff instead of picking on the people that will one day run this place. I believe that this also makes the new people go out and buy cap ships to counter that piracy fear.

In conclusion I would like to state that everytime I have I have entered penn in the last two days there has been at least two pirates running around the field looting new people who have just crossed the lvl in which they are able to be pirated. Sure we need pirates there to get the new people used to being pirated but we don't need gunboats and packs of them. I'm not whining about me being pirated, heh I'm lvl 90 I couldn't care less but to see them pirateing the same people day in day out makes me mad.
