I was thinking about creating a pirate char, but I don't know where to start. I need any ideas on a ship and ID (and possibly good locations to pirate). There is also the chance that I may join one of the official factions. I should have enough money to create any type of pirate (gunboat and below), so that should not be an issue.
So what do you guys think? And I would like some input from any successfull pirates if that is posible
I agree with Robert, yes you will need a train disrupter, it is the best for transports.
I have an Outcast pirate character and I love it, there is a nice friendly atmosphere at Alpha (home system) and there are also a few Outcast offical factions for you to join.
At present I am still indie but I still have friends in the outcasts who come and pirate with me.
My characters are Outcasts, and from my experience Outcasts don't do as much pirating as some other unlawful groups. Outcasts are more like Sirius mafia. If I wanted to be a pirate, I'd probably join Liberty Rogues, or Corsairs.
