Pirating Community Goal which requires the collection and sale of "Stolen" goods.
- The cargo must be "Stolen" and over the average value of 5000/ton. The "stolen" is very important because you can buy illegal items. You can't buy stolen.
- The station would offer 0 payment for said cargo. This would filter out the teams, where 1 guy buys stuff, then drops for the 2nd guy for the "Stolen" tag.
- The target station should be in a high sec system swarming with police.
- It would also be good to run it near a system, with an active CG that deals with high value goods. Or maybe close to a system with high CMDR transport content for some reason (platinum, palladium, gold, imp slaves). Preferably in Open.
Prizes: Top 5%: All pirating related ships (Clipper, Asp, FDL, Viper) on 50% off and clipper available without Baron rank.
Rest: Some money (not enough to cover the items carried in), pirate paint, pirate logo, one time full bounty removal (incl. dormant), 10% extra on all black market sales, 50% off on interdictors
Between 100-70%: +200k bounty on you.
Global: More stations with Black market or better black market prices
Transports would be relentlessly prayed upon so they would wing up.
Pirates would try not to wing up, because sharing the drop would hurt their rank in the CG. If the sell price is zero, pirate wing members get nothing. Unless you pirate your pirate buddy before it reaches the station...
Backstabbing all around.
If you enter the competition, you need to be good. Entering and not participating or sucking at it would yield 200k bounty on your head. Bad pirates are not tolerated by the pirate guild, so the organizer would just tip them off to the police and let the bounty hunters do the dirty work.
This would NOT be a PVP galore. Never meant to be.
It is about Stealing and NOT Killing. A killed trader will not drop you the stuff you are after.
You would be capable to compete in Solo because you can pirate NPCs. They frequently drop stuff on their own + limpets work on them. Their stuff is rarely that good unless, you start looking around in RES sites. Those miners carry platinum, gold or palladium... All valid for the CG Or you can look around the boards. Earn the trust of a side who would eventually trust you with a shipment of platinum...
The transport CG nearby would not be a clearly designated target. Some pirates would naturally go to that direction. But with bigger reward, comes bigger risk in form of player wings. Transport ships will arm up and wing up if things will get hot. Currently, no one flies escort because it is 99% waste of time. Attacks just don’t happen often enough not to fall asleep.
If you look for a PVP solution, there you have it. If you want PVE solution, there are several funny possibilities, too.
The 0 buy price on the participating items is there to filter out the cheating as much as possible. Or at least make it too expensive to be viable option. Non participating items would sell for the normal price. If you steal something not that cool, you still earn money from it. Why 0? You need resources to pay off authorities and buy political influence.
This would be a challenging CG and the top 5% would earn a Robber Baron rank for sure.
