Willard going rouge at freeport

[Adept]

It's still work and you can't do it away from a station. I mean where do you think traders are going to be trading? Besides, no one wants to give up their cargo. It's either a fight or a chase every time. Only one person has ever jettisoned cargo.

Piracy isn't implemented yet. You should hold on for standard beta, when we have law-enforcement, comms and most likely FSD scanners and interdiction.

Hey Schnittertm that was me! I loved that so much, it was the game working how it actually should. Pirate attacking traders, bounty hunters attacking the pirate - I just wish more people played the game like that.

Did you see the Hauler that came up and waggled its fins at you in front of Freeport this morning? Twas me. I figured I'd try and be a pilot fish to your Wanted shark ( and I was only carrying Aulin's fish finger delivery anyhow). Having tried the pirate thing I'm now trying the trader thing to see if pirates are making it as tough as others would have us believe. So far so good. I must admit that when you do do the greedy trader thing and tie up your entire fortune in goods, the emotional investment is higher than when risking insurance money in combat. It's quite the thrill...

I vote for "Willard the Rouge" to be made into a randomly spawned NPC pirate in Elite!!!!!

To join the halls of fame just like Radiant Dawn

Yeah you're right, but I think most people get the idea and besides, a lot of people have simply done everything already and PVP is the only thing that stays fresh. I've sat on the porch, played the games, been the dog, everything. I was even the scarecrow for a while.
