Pirate IDs....

Pirate ID

Pilot carrying this ID is an independent Pirate of the Sirius sector, who:

* Can demand credits or cargo from traders and unallied smugglers or factions

* Can engage pirates, terrorists and lawfuls within their Zone of Influence

* Can fulfill unlawful bounty contracts

* Can trade and escort smugglers

* Can ally with unlawfuls, mercenaries, and freelancers

* Cannot ally with any lawfuls

* Cannot use any ship with more than 3,600 cargo capacity except for the Pirate Train

* Cannot land on any lawful bases across Sirius except for Zoner bases

I shall use the Generic Pirate ID as an example....


Look, lately I have been discussing this with a few people, all these discussions have led to the same result.

The IDs of pirates need to be changed....

Right now, people use these IDs as a free pvp ticket, Pirates are people who , ill quote

Pirate ID

Pirates and Lane Hackers spend their time waiting outside of trade lanes to catch unsuspecting Traders and force them to pay a toll or demand their cargo. Pirate Role Players often have some swanky accent or shout AVAST at ships which enter their cunning traps, although this old-fashioned pirate-talk is technically OoRP itself.

Now, this line here :

* Can engage pirates, terrorists and lawfuls within their Zone of Influence

Is the real problem.

See, people look at this..say "Lol! Ill go shoot lawfuls nao :3" and so they do....No, that is not what pirates do, the pirates may attack millitary targets to cause a distraction, but the everday 6pm lolraid on NY is just....sorry but its oorp by itself.



The ID needs to be changed, to fit its name: the PIRATE ID, not the TERRORIST ID.
Terrorists attack lawfuls in order to get their point across, pirates run.


Change


* Can engage pirates, terrorists and lawfuls within their Zone of Influence

To this:


* Can engage other pirates and terrorists within their Zone of Influence. May attack lawfuls only in self-defense


Please, let's discuss, and...yeah.
