Perhaps it is just me projecting my view onto the Corse, but I have never seen the Corse as Pirates in the strictest sense. The current RP and in game play leans more towards them being a semi-legal outfit. They are permitted to land on Gallic lawful bases, go largely unmolested by the Royal authorities and even occassionally work for the Royals in fulfilling bounty contracts. When one of them gets caught doing something illegal, they take responsibility themselves and never betray the Corse.
This all points towards them being more like a crime syndicate operating under the pretence of legality. Everyone knows they are dirty, but no one can prove it since there is no evidence and the Corse take their secrets to the grave.
In light of this, can they be classed under the lable of pirate in the Admin announcement?
Oh, and to test the waters for this kind of thing and maybe trip the rules trap so we get admin clarification, I have started flying my Corse fighter around Sirius, talking to various people about trading. All strictly inRP and no piracy. Simply setting up contacts who might want goods smuggled to them by the Corse. Hopefully that doesn't violate any rules but if it does, then no doubt I'll hear about it sooner or later.
