Pirate IDs....

[Baltar]

@ Sindroms: Why do you want to limit a pirate's role play even further than it already is? Read through the rules, infocards and such ... you'll fine this class of character has far more rules on them than any other group. I do agree that pirates (within role play) would avoid military vessels and such ... but you don't need to make a rule about it. Attacking lawfuls in for self-defense only? That's a bit much. Don't see anyone advocating that trader ID's (generic or otherwise) should be limited to firing on a pirate only in self-defense. But a rule like this WOULD prevent these traders from trying to engage in combat with pirates. I experienced a couple lulwhut-PVP-centric traders in Tau 31 once ... both in CT's and sporting Corsair Tizona and Outcast Wyrm turrets ... the CT can mount 12 turrets by the way. My pirate was attacked by these traders before I uttered a word or even initiated any attempt at piracy. Explain this one to me will ya? And how about the trader who initiated an attack on my pirate who was SEVERAL kilometers from any trade lane or planet (but within radar range) ... minding my own business ... and he take it upon himself to initiate an attack. This guy got a sanction for OORP by the way. But would be nice if you anti-pirate types would take the plank out of your own eyes before trying to pluck the speck out of ours.
