Pirating the old fashioned way

[Stoat]

Can I, with a pirate ID, dock at a lawful base or planet without fear of being sanctioned for it?

I ask as I want to pirate in one area, nick loot and flog it in another system.

For example:

I actively pirate in Rheinland, where I've made sure all the lawfuls hate me, then go and sell the loot in Kusari where they don't (eg Diamonds at Kyushu).

Is this considered a :nono:?

I don't want to do the " **enter number** million tax" route to earn my money. I want to shoot out NPC cargo pods and hoover up what drops out, or get PCs to drop part of their cargo for me. Sadly the only ship with CDs and a big enough hold to make this really viable are the Rogue or Corsair GB and I can't afford one. Yet.

And I'm not trading to get one 'cos I's a pirate. Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Or is the Junker ID the way forward? I'm just resistant to that route as I'm not a Junker, I'm a pirate Jim lad. And having a NPC ID like the Bundschue or LWB doesn't work as I ain't makin a political statement here, man.

Anyway, what's your thoughts? I'm sure this has been asked before, but I got freaked by the load of unrelated threads when I was trying to search.
