So pirates are only in for lol (whatever that is) and all the others are in for RP (whatever that is)?
Didn't say that. I love being a pirate I can handle my own on the lanes in a bomber. I RP before I demand cargo sometimes when it gets busy blowing up 8 transports within the hour tends to show I'm serious. Even though my demands are nothing more than 500,000 in most cases.
Pirate Cruisers/Battleships , demanding credits that realistically won't ever come close to what they spent on their little CAP armor, or would even be present in what are suppose to be well guarded systems/borders, is my point.
