Ginseng Jita Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 355	Posted - 2012.05.28 18:10:00 - [1] - Quote Just as our ancestors did long ago, on a world long forgotten to history, we ply our trade throughout the stars. For many years, many pilots of EVE have plied their trade with little or no attention from CCP. We help make EVE a more...interesting place. Sure their are a number of detractors that would lament that players, such as myself, or the Goons, or any number of others that partake of this game style, are bad for the game. I say let them whine! We are just as much a part of EVE as the rest of you. In all the time players who pursue the life of piracy, never once have we seen CCP give our lot much attention. Others get brand new ships. New game mechanics. New content. What have I and my brethren gotten? Sodden nothing. It is with this thought that I purpose that every and all pirates in the game of EVE begin burning and pillaging with the likes this game has never seen. It is not enough to blow up a retriever or hulk now and then. Nay! Like our ancestors of old...we must go forth into the vast shipping lanes of high-sec and take all that we can. Burn Jita and Hulkageddon V were all good and well...but I think we have not done enough. It is time to take a stand. Gather your mates and go forth like locust to wheat. Take down freighters laden with all the riches of the stars filling the holds. Ransack the richest parts of space and take all you can find. Be bold brothers and sisters. Make CCP know that we will give no quarter until they recognize us and begin to spread some love our way. It is time brothers and sisters - it is time for... EVE's Golden Age of Piracy!

The richest trading lanes flat out in game let alone High-sec are the trading lanes from 0.0 where all Moon Minerals, Mexallon and Zydrine flows into high-sec for sale. You will need to set up to gank jump Freighters. It isn't very hard as most 0.0 alliances tend to use the same low-sec systems over and over. If you miss them there they will scatter to the winds in smaller ships.
Veronica Kerrigan Hand Of Midas F0RCEFUL ENTRY 28	Posted - 2012.05.28 18:31:00 - [8] - Quote If you want to get piracy changed, ganking in highsec ain't gonna get it done. Highsec bears aren't the ones whose voices cause CCP to change something. If you spend all your time ganking the supply lines of big alliances, then they're going to complain to CCP to buff piracy, just so they can get their goodies back to Jita and sell it. If you cut off their supply lines, and the only way to make it stop is the give in to your demands, then they'll get it done somehow.

You're only cutting in your own fingers by attacking the people who produce 99% of all stuff on the market xD Less yappin', more zappin'!

Torneach The Last Bastion 202	Posted - 2012.05.28 19:05:00 - [17] - Quote You know what real-world pirates did? They attacked and looted and ransomed the gold ships of great empires. Why don't you quit hitting hisec miners and do that instead? Then you'll be real pirates.

Go out and actually kill/ransom some poor souls and put them out of their misery. I extort millions in ISK just by letting miners in asteroid belts know that if they do not pay me x amount of ISK that it'll cost them dearly. I can rake a cool 50+ mil in a few minutes this way. :) Never even have to fire shot. Move to a new system. Wash, rinse, repeat. If they do not pay and warp to stations with their mining ops. I just wait. Then I return, blow up a barge or exhumer and repeat my offer. Soon the ISK are flowing in.

Well now duh....if I were to use this character and people started putting me in their contacts as a potential ganker - rate me accordingly - they'd be onto me instantly. Use your head man! A good pirate leader always has a band of cutthroats at their beck and call to do their dirty work.
Karn Dulake Souls Must Be Trampled The.Alliance 801	Posted - 2012.05.28 19:53:00 - [23] - Quote 1660s were the Golden age of Piracy and the vast wealth of the spanish main where there for all to claim. The Privateers rules the waves and plundered at will. There were Pirate hunters who were sometimes successful at catching their quarry but many were as bad as the pirates themselves. The real difference was that when a frigate captured a sloop a pirate hunter did not appear from nowhere and destroy the pirate with a single cannon ball. true story I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion.

This suicide ganking today isn't piracy and people are deluding themselves if they think it is.

And you have to say ''harrr'' or it doesn't count either. High-sec ganking is the purest form of piracy currently in the game, because making money with the kills is generally more important then the killmail. Puddlefish, ore thieves (quite rare these days) and ninja-salvagers could also constitute as pirates. Most of the -10 'pirates' in low sec though, are just fight-clubbing KW-whores, who don't care enough about making ISK to even attempt a ransom (nor honor it if they do).

Alaric Faelen Black Rebel Rifter Club 76	Posted - 2012.05.28 21:05:00 - [28] - Quote Piracy is indeed fairly broken as a game mechanic. To begin with, piracy is really just a matter of semantics. Except for FW folks, you are always a pirate to your target. Regardless of what ever 'cause' you fight for, all that PvP is just the same as what 'pirates' do. Ransoms are pretty much the only functional difference- indeed low sec guns will fire on someone calling themselves an anti-pirate the same as they will for me and my Black Rebel friends. Only FW really qualifies as fighting for a legitimate national military. Everyone else is a pirate or hired gun- all random PvP is a form of piracy. It goes to the issues of low sec. Generally, in Eve the closer something is to a RL counterpart, the better it works. Like a large fleet with specific roles being filled works remarkably like a RL battle fleet- and it works well. But piracy in Eve doesn't reflect it's RL counter part very well- the Age of Sail. In short, we have no way to intercept passing (preferably soft targets) traffic in low sec, except to camp gates which requires large ships to absorb gate fire- where most pirates favor small, hit and run type ships.Our other option is camping a static plex, which means usually no one runs the plex and only comes to fight- not exactly 'piracy' in any meaningful sense. The truth is, we do mostly arranged duels because we're PvP enthusiasts. Piracy is a pretext for enjoying PvP. In the grand scheme of null being a resource producing area, and high sec being the market areas, then low sec should be that dangerous passage between the two where pirates lurk and can halt unescorted traffic. I think bubbles should work in low and not null- to reflect the local authority of your sov -claiming alliance in null, and the lack of security on the long low sec route to empire space to sell those wares. That would put more requirement to actually escort those resources to market rather than just blast thru low sec fearing little other than the rare gate camp. It would allow 'pirates' to act like pirates rather than just PvP enthusiasts, which is probably a more accurate description of most pirates. We suffer from the negative connotation of the term 'pirate' without actually doing hardly anything differently than everyone else. Whether you shoot people to collect kill mails or moon goo, it's all functionally the same. If anything, our ransoming of ships and pods is more civilized than anyone else, who are almost universally NBSI. Sorry to burst the bubble on piracy in Eve. But it's nothing like non-pirates seem to think.
