PvP More respect to pirates - even less respect to the griefers

[daman]

HEY!!!

Galactic Railroad are NOT pirates, pyrats or anything else found hanging around Clair Dock and the rest of the pegasi.

We are anti slavery activists - these acts are only undertaken to liberate the "cargo" from those trafficking in imperial slaves.

(Just like we aren't griefers - we just KOS Kumo Crew/ AD ships.)

Its true.

Acting as a pirate once in a while for laugh is ok, but I cringe someone mentions his profession in the game as a pirate.

It's appealing (cool factor), that's how I started my adventure with ED, until I realised (pretty much on day one) it's not profitable enough (at all) to carry on.

Shame really.. I would happily take that path in the game if it worked.

It can be profitable. Goods sold on the black market at CGs still count towards progress and I find I am usually in the top 75% after about 10 successful piratings which nets a few million.

PvE pirating pays very well, I can usually get 20-30 mil an hour going after low temp diamonds. I think my total black market sales are close to a billion currently.

That's not bad at all.

You were doing it wrong, then

Maybe... in my defence I must say it was over 2 years ago

It was the conflict between trying to snipe out the drives (ambitious I know) and hit with the missile (one i didn't resolve in this case - though you could always get lucky), combined with the (lack of) agility of the cutter.
I scanned him - but I didn't have the time to check the scan results - or probably was just too amused by their attitude which threw me off a bit.

I don't want to use hatch breakers - i only want to liberate slaves not nab any random content. But maybe thats an idea to deal with the less co-operative types.

Any way other than voice commands?

If you have a programmable HOTAS , you could devote a hat to message macros. That's what I did when I decided to try my hand at rescuing kidnapped Imperial citizens. At least you found somebody to interact with. I gave up after three days of not seeing a single soul.
