Pirates in penn

[Baltar]

Seems 90% of pirates own a GB, still if they are over level they are fair game. So while I agree GB pirates are to numerous, anyone of sufficient level in Penny is a fair target as they are not new.

That's probably because 90% of traders are in Advanced Trains, Container Transports and such. The bigger the target ... the bigger the ship you need to pirate it. If you wanna reduce the number of gunboat pirates you first need to reduce the number of huge transports. You gotta admit Spear ... there's not a whole lot of Dromedary's running around Sirius these days. So ... a little perspective helps to understand why there's so many pirates in gunboats.

As to the piracy in Penn ... bad form in my opinion. Penn is supposed to be for noobs to get started. Don't know what's traded there ... but if they're making loads of money ... hmm ... might need to adjust the selling price in Penn so as to reduce the reason for a pirate to go there in the first place. Either way ... I typically avoid Penn.

True, but I have given money to new people to start them off and then they get pirated a few minutes later and they are brand new to the game. I think that we should tone down the gunboats in there.

Don't go bashing pirates in gunboats please. Don't go making this bigger than it is. Just because there's one or two pirates invading Penn doesn't mean you gotta throw us all to the dogs. I've already mentioned one of the main reasons there's so many gunboat pirates ... its because there's so many mega-huge transport traders. So ... maybe we should tone down the mega-huge transports eh?

If Gunboats are pirating starfliers then that is truly pathetic.

Doubt they're pirating starfleas ... since starfleas have nothing to lose, how can they be intimidated by anyone? But pirates in Penn at all is a bit too much. Penn should be noobs home ... but if there's goods bought and sold there ... might be the problem of the traders drawing the pirates in.
