Google "Pirates" and you will get this, "Piracy is typically an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The term can include acts committed on land, in the air, or in other major bodies of water or on a shore."
However, seeing as it's only a guideline rather than a code of conduct, you can define what a Pirates is however you like. You can be whatever kind of Pirate you want to be. Some might conform to how you define a Pirate, others wont. Its the fact that other players don't interact, some open up the throttle and run, others turn and shoot but once in a while you get someone who will interact. Haven't met many, so I turned my back on Piracy and Bounty Hunting for the time being. I'm off to go explore and cruise the Galaxy, T.T.F.N.
