Let us remember what we lost so far

[Ralph Vargr]

Piracy has lost almost all of its finesse. Now it's just blowing stuff up, incurring little to no meaningful consequence, then collecting a couple of shiny drops; much like grinding mobs in any MMO you care to think of. It's no more refined than that. If the point of piracy is to make money then wrecks shouldn't drop anything of use. Under such a system those under attack by pirates would be more likely to 'pay' their way out of the situation.

Pretty much.

So these BB missions are only temporary? Been playing xbox for a week and can't believe how easy it is, I've gone from nothing to a fully kitted out Cobra in just over a week, playing about 30 mins a day. Right now I have just under a million credits of goods in my 32T hold. Smuggling seems to be the fastest money making profession for newbies, I don't even bother sticking weapons or shields on this cobra.

What I maent is they should be temporary based on haw they've said amuggling will work eventually. No idea on an ETA on update to smuggling mechanic's though so likely here for a fairly long while with plan's to replace them with a more robust system like also planned for most other proffesion's also.

I don't think it was theoretical - people were advertising their bounties for cash on some sites IIRC.
You could do multiple scans on illegal cargo and clock up huge amounts between accounts. Some of the most wanted on the bounty lists even had trolling names and were not players you would ever have a chance to actually see in Open.

Yeah those are the ones I think should just be straight up banned. However, pirates who slowly acquired huge bounties while pirating took those with pride rather than seeking to give them away to a friend. Yet people accused them just the same.

What the hell do you need rare trading for when you can trade common crap (gold etc) and make 5+ mil an hour (not considering PP bonuses) at absolutely no risk to yourself 24/7.

Cry about what you've lost with trading when they've actually made it difficult to just rake credits in.

The loss of "piracy" has little to do with the particular elements of what is being traded and more to do with the fact that hot swapping game modes is what is actually undermining piracy. Not any change in the balancing of goods in the game.

Not sure what you're so hostile about. Many Pirates themselves have stated rare trading piracy is over simply because they don't get good money unless they rare trade themselves. They clearly don't blame mode swapping. There have always been plenty of targets in open mode.

Truly hope so. Where on the list?

It's written on the inner edge of his knightly shield, kind of like a purity seal.

FD brought a new meaning to the word "Vanilla" with all their nerfs. Oh well...
