Advice for a Vigilante

[Warlord]

I'm way to lazy to read all those replies, so some/all things might have already been said.

Hi, I would like some advice, I have made a Vigilante character, but I am not sure what the best ship to procure is.
Do I get a Bomber, or a Fighter, and if so what would you, the Disco community recommend for me.
Now I would say the I am not the greatest pilot and not all the clever at PVP, mostly my character would scan vessels for contraband, and only hunt criminals occasionally.
So any advice you could send my way I would appreciate.

Hey mate,

It's good see somebody else trying to become a successful Vigilante. I myself have started one only recently to.
Although my character exists for a couple of months.

It's important you have a complete bio of your character. Also it's important that the reason why you've gone Vigilante is noted.
Your IFF has to fit your characters background, that counts for your ship and equipment as well.

I'll take mine Vigilante for example. He has been in the Universal for awhile, but he noticed how Liberty authorities failed to 'protect and serve' over and over, dear ones went missing, Slave trade was growing and Hackers were acting up. All with all, enough to go into retaliation. My character has already been a Vigilante in his bio, and now goes back due all those reasons.

When I'm in-game 90% just addresses me as Universal, as my ID is not visible. Of course everybody scans you and sees the ID so they do know what their dealing with, and good role players know how to interact with one.

But be repaired for some ockward situations. I've had people telling me to 'fix IFF' or officer thinking I would attack Hellfire Legion members. Yet I have not been shot by any lawful authority but thats probably a matter of time.

Now you said that 'you will -just- scan for contraband and kill pirates'. Yes thats basically what a Vigilante does, but theres more then -just- that. Have you also considered being in organizations like LSF? They are -supposed- to protect the borders from scum like that.
Reason why I say this is because it can be very lonely as Vigilante, and if you don't like three pirates shooting at you without backup you might want to reconsider.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Or contact me in-game my Vigilante's name is J.Adams

Enjoy.
