Some Questions and Suggestion on Piracy

[Geodin]

I've considered this very issue before and I'm gonna weigh in with my opinion.

I do think there should be a higher-grade turret available for Pirate Transports/Trains. I think they should obviously be class-restricted (not available to the general public) somehow. This would prevent Trader IDs from using them on their own Transport vessels, I think.

I'd really like to see more groups of pirates with a Pirate Transport/Train in their midst for cargo pick ups. Maybe even RPing a focus on legitimate/valuable cargo for Pirates, depending on particular affiliation, that makes sense. Pirates get hungry, so raid some food rations cargo. Or whatever. Just a thought.

I imagine this isn't really the focus for some, especially newer, players. It's all about the credits bay-bee! Which is both understandable and sad at the same time.

I think the upgraded turrets taking up cargo space is an interesting idea. But I don't think it should be -extreme- in any way. Just increase the price dramatically and restrict (via IDs) usage.

My two cents.
