Remove Gunboat from Pirate ID?

[Ridisk]

So, we're all ninja-cyborgs who attained the rank of admiral at the ripe age of 24 before our horrible breast implant accidents? Moving on.

Diving into a role does not mean the the role is always extraordinary. In fact, that is quite elementary. Not everyone can be extraordinary, and the vast majority of people should really be the average people. I would love if there were a million five-star-generals throughout the US, but, there just aren't. Mostly everyone is more or less "normal". Does this mean you have to be normal? No. It just means that the fact that you are just a person and the chances of you getting something that is utterly amazing is pretty low. This is even compounded as you aren't part of a faction and so getting its technology either takes a great amount of capital or a great amount of trust. And with 3% of people in the US being in the "wealthy" margin according to Citi Group statistics, that isn't very much...

So, I ask again, how many independent pilots fly Boeing 747s, an even more common civilian plane? Not very many. Why? Because it's expensive and you need lots of licenses for it. Most people in Sirius do not have that much money, nor can they take the time to get all of these "licenses", which are often arbitrary and stupid, especially in a pirate setting.

Fail.
