BAF with Pirate ID's ?

[Jordi]

I recently had an encounter with a group of BAF in Tau-23 in my trader.
They asked me stop. I was going to do it, but after scanning one of their wessels, seening they had Pirate-ID's, and since I was right next to a Base, I decided to make a run and Dock, which I did succesfully.

I'm not questioning that a Pirate should or should not shoot me.

What I question is that a Group from the BAF, ("BAF" was part of their names) with Armed forces Tag, running Bretonian GB's, had a Pirate ID and was pirating on me....

When questioned about why they had Pirate ID's they answer because they are Privateers.
Well that has perhaps an RP reason......but shouldn't their names, Tag say something more about what they are.

This is not a rule breaking report, that's why I'm not giving names. I'm just asking the Disco community about what you think about it.

It's already approved, and has been going on for some time. I was the bomber, btw.

The "-P" at the end of the name indicates what we are.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

That wee 'P' at the end of the name stands for something.

I see you've met the Bretonian Armed Forces privateering wing.

They're there to interdict trade in Kusari and hurt their industrial assets by denying supplies and revenues. They are pirates funded by the BAF.

No no, we FUND the BAF. God knows parliment is too messed up to do it....

They are a group of private individuals that fly under a letter of Marque to fight the Kusari hoarde. You can read up on the faction here post#35

As far as the ID goes, it was the best way to do things and still follow the Rules. Hope this helps answer your question. There are other posts that give more detail and history and as I find them I will edit this.

Edit: Lot of quick typing (trigger) fingers out there.

And we're getting our own ID soon (I hope soon...).

Thanks for clarifying and apologies for my ignorance

BTW if i was trading between Tau's (Tau-23 to Tau-31) would you pirate me ?

[bluntpencil2001]

Probably not, but you got lippy. That and we didn't believe you.:D

Yes they use Pirate ID which by no means says you can shoot people/traders on sight without making a demand. And specially when they are zoners and have no cargo.

Just to bare in mind ;)
