I mean, we got to expect some people won't understand the concept of "borders" at first in the game. They wil lget into an area they shouldn't and they are gonna be ganked by pirates and the poop-fest will reach astronomical levels of saltiness, with reports being thrown around. That's what people have to distinguish. Going into a dangerous area? You got ganked? You lost your overly expensive mining barge (essentially a giant container in DU's context) ? Tough luck, risk and reward. Sometimes, the risk is too high and if the money ain't worth the risk, don't take it.
Can't afford to lose that ship, or rebuild it? DO NOT LEAVE A SAFE ZONE WITH IT.
Overstep our bounds? We are pirates. By definition, we live outside the constraints of your laws. My org, at least, allows any of our targets a chance to keep their ship relatively intact by giving up their cargo or paying us. We may fire until your weapons are disabled before leaving the area, but we won't completely destroy your ship. It's nothing personal unless you intentionally grief or harass one of my members, then you will see how much of an asshole I can be.

I forsee engineering in the bow, with pipes to the stern. Prepare for ship-wide fires.

Fucken pirates.
They think they are all the stuff and gonna do this and that, but never do.
Over their heads, eh?
I don't think you understand what a challenge pirating in DU is going to be. Your average angry tween isn't going to be a pirate in DU. It is going to take a whole lot more than "let's go steal from people". It is going to be a lifestyle choice. It will definitely weed out the weaker people unfit to become true pirates!

Have fun dealing with pirates to the OP... and Bernarr, honor amongst thieves ey?
There is always honor amongst the true pirates. The griefer thieves of the unwashed masses who give us true pirates a bad name, though, have no honor and should not be trusted.
You do bring up a good point though. So though I may not post this now, I will likely, in the future, attempt to diplomasize us a black market resupply network that is safe for the suppliers, cuz I takes care of my people, even if they aren't in my org.

Do you plan on opening a brewery?

Oh look. Mine is fixed now
Good job.
Mine isn't. Slackers.

However, I do hope there's no "report the guy who I tried to gank up to but had a carrier fleet behind him" button, for all those "pirates" who can't understand the golden rule of "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose."
If they don't understand that they shouldn't be flying something they can't afford to lose, they aren't pirates.
-
I told you people don't seem to understand the difference between piracy and griefing. "OH MY GOD YOU KILLED MY PIXELS, Y U GRIEF ME?!?!?!" Don't like death being part of the game yer playing? Stay in safe zones where there is no PVP or go play farmville and pvp some potatoes.

We allow parley and the surrender of a vessel's cargo, after which we will likely let you be on your way, after disabling yer weapons, o' course.

Mmmm EMP devices, I think NQ will chalk that up with nukes and say negative. Too many constructive ways to use both EMPs and nukes.
-
No, the use of melee weapons can come later on, but I need a sword on my belt at launch!
-
The more difficult a thing is to be, the less people practice that profession, which drives up the price of purchasing those services, which all in all, is fine with me

Slackers.

Yep, filled it out. It shows on my community profile, just not in my forum posts.
-
Do you have any qualms about working with pirates?
-
It wouldn't though, if they did it right. I think it would make things more fun, HEY WE NEED TO HIT THE BRIDGE BEFORE THEY ACTIVATE THE SELF DESTRUCT! Or, ya know, getting to engineering to shut it down before the countdown expires.
-
Pledges don't seem to be correct all the way around. I have a Gold package, but it doesn't show in the forums.
-
As a pirate, I need a sword. I don't care if melee combat isn't added until later, I still need a sword on my belt.
-
Well, it was started as a discussion.. Then I got sidetracked for a while and when I came back, lost my train of thought so ended it with an advertisement lol
It wasn't just on the forums, a lot of discord people make the same assumption.

I'm seeing a lot of people associating the noble lifestyle choice of Piracy with low-class griefing. This is completely untrue. While some pirates may be griefers and some griefers may be pirates, Piracy is not Griefing.
Griefing is the simple act of doing something to anger someone. Destroy a project or what have you.
Piracy is a way of life. We provide those fringe services you may not be able to find through completely legal means. We also provide completely illegal services to law-abiding citizens who may have need of our particular skills. Smuggling, spying, espionage, sabotage, information brokering, to name a few of these services. We get our hands dirty so yours stay clean in the public eye.
Does this sound like something you'd be interested in? The first thing you need to do is read over our Articles of Agreement-

If you have any questions, you can message me here, jump on discord ( https://discord.gg/x928Zpm ), or use our contact form ( http://www.chucklingcasket.com/contact-us/ )
This being said, if I come across some disgustingly ugly structure, I will level it, and I will grief you until you build something beautiful to make up for whatever monstrosity I destroyed initially.
Are you in an organization, but want to have a safety net along with some extra coin? Contact me and we can work something out
Yes, it involves you being a spy.- ForlornFoe, Vyz Ejstu, Soarnir and 2 others
