For all those that came here, and say that Corsairs are good, just trying to survive, i will try remember that next time i travel with my cargo ship and have to pay 5M to a Corsair pirate, or he will shoot me. Same goes for all those Corsairs that shooted my miner so many times, coz i dont have money.
If the Corsairs are "good", and want to have a better life, and give their kids a better future, then i'm the first to help u guys anyway i can.
But remember one thing, we all see Corsairs pirates in many systems, breaking the trade lanes to ask money from the traders, but u dont see any military doing the same in Corsair home system. Steal is wrong, and will allways be. Demand money unless get shooted is wrong, and will allways be.
If u want a better future for your kids, then u should start by giving good examples.
Also, if your home systems are poor in resources, then is one more reason to become a lawful faction, so u can trade with the other houses, any resources that u need.
No house will treat u guys as criminals only coz your home is poor in resources. Is your actions that decide that.
So, i ask all Corsairs, dont u think u could have a better life, if u could travel and trade with all other houses?
Ye ye, that's all fine. BUT, it will take MUCH time before houses can trust such criminal organisation as Corsairs are. They literally pirate in every single house, so I personally doubt houses will trust them inRP.

The best things in life dont come easy. If u want something, u have to work for it. If u want something really important, then u have to work harder.
If the Corsairs, all togeder as one big faction, decide to change their ways, and become a lawful house, i'm sure wont be easy, but is possible.
My selfe, i'm descendant of a family from Portucale, that togeder with Hispania formed the Iberia union, before the war that lead to the escape on the sleeper ships. And so, familys from Portucale were on the Hispania sleep ship too.
And i really would like to see a lawful Hispania house, that i could join, and stop trying to find my place in the universe. I want to be close to my brothers, but i wont join criminals.
I now lul at this poll. In Discovery, "Lawful" and "Unlawful" are oorp concepts, labels we put on things and people so we can more easily classify them by the rules. They really have nothing to do with role play, as every faction in the game is both good and bad, there are no "Evil" factions and there are no "Angel" factions, at least in rp that is. So lets please try and keep the in-rp and oorp comments and ideas separate.
' Wrote:Ofc, when we say that someone is good or bad, we dont mean irl.
The point is, would Corsairs like/want to change their ways and become a lawful house at the eyes of the other major houses?
It would be painfully hard for them to do so, verging on impossible.
The only real export the Corsairs have is Artefacts, which are illegal in three of the four houses.
If there was a burgeoning legal artefact trade, such might be possible in-rp, however, until such time the Corsairs will have to rely on pirating.
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
' Wrote:the corsair long-term plan is to become a lawful house with a stable supply of commodities for their populace. the reputation is slowing it down, though.
