Why does Elite:Dangerous coddle pirates? We need OUTLAW status.

[Snakebite]

Viper is next to useless for pirates, as soon as you kit it with weapons there is no cargo space left.

You need *at least* a Cobra MkIII sized ship (Possibly a Cobra MK I when they are implemented) but ideally a well kitted out Asp or Python. Personally I'd prefer to see pirates using more than one ship at a time, a larger cargo ship with a couple of small fighter escorts like in the original game.

After Outlaw status comes the much more dangerous and scary In-Laws.

If you're refering to outlaw status for aourselves I completly agree. My goal to be wanted in EVERY system was a long shot but with the wanted timer only being 24hrs it's a sad sad situation
