' Wrote:Maybe try something daring such as downing one of our Slave Liners with a VHF. Your pilots are certainly skilled enough and would make you feared for the right reasons (uber leet pilots) rather than the wrong ones (they gonna gank us with caps...).
We've done that. If I look hard enough I'm pretty sure I can produce screen shots of Black Rose and Harlequin taking down a Congress Slave liner.

Actually we fly alongside regular pirates and terrorists all the time. When we do we generally let them have whatever falls out of whatever ships we blow up. I've even personally come to the aid of pirates that are having trouble with a transport, help him blow it up and leave him to whatever spoils he wishes.
So yes, I expect those gentlemen to accept me with open arms when I need to purchase fuel or supplies from their base.
I didn't read the rest of your post. I got bored after this part. Sorry.
