Not Freelancer, I meant Freebooter.

Are there any REAL pirate corps in the game? People out there hunting others for cargos and equipment only, not bothering with small fry and not podding people "just cos it's a laugh".
Just wondering if all the current pirate corps are just anarchic messes of pre-pubescent morons or if there is any real freelancer activity out there.

Only real pirate I've seen thus far is Setec, though there may be more. 99% of the 'pirates' I've run into are no more than gate camping griefers, and 80% of those act like cowards if they're ever attacked.
That's been my personal experience with them anyway.

Well, i was shot down the other day by some pirates that claimed the reason they shot at me was because i was still going too fast after the web and jamming they did, and the fact that one of them was not able to cargo scan me.
They said that had they known i was flying empty they would have not shot. And in the case i had any cargo they would have tolde me to drop it.
Call me candid but i prefer to believe that they where speaking the truth.
Although the end result was the loss of a cruiser and some rare equipment. Something that a lone pilot like me doesn't replace easily, but that's another issue.

Well this is what I've been trying to get up and running for the last week or so...
So far the response to recruitment has been.. shall we say slow... only one player has sent me evemail regarding Bandits Inc.
Maybe everyone playing EVE just wants a boring game life, and no-one has any interest in playing the role of an outlaw, good, bad, but ugly is optional...

yeah most of mOo are just*****s, who irl cant assert themselves so they act it out online. Jort was the only nice, fair one i talked to. He actually accepted payment and let me past. Axelay just shot my ibis and podded me. I had asked about 6 times in local how much should i pay, mikhail told me i could go and he wouldnt shoot me, then axelay warped in and podded me.
But organisation seems limited imo, u ask in local loads, mostly get ignored then killed. Not the most inteligent way to make money is it.

I don't know about 'Pirate' Corporations, but there is at least one very philanthropic organization that collects donations for the needy children of the Amarr Empire. Unfortunatly in our zeal to help little children who have been enslaved by this oppressive regime some people have lost their ships. But who truly cares about such heartless and ungenerous people?

agree, Setec is a kind of "Robin Hood" with some honour... The rest are just as you say "griefers" and "cowards"

BTW "Local" acts very strange and very buggy sometimes. That doesn't help players making a fair assessment of their threats.
At CEO of "Bandits". I have a strong feeling that the corps that have "succeeded" in making a "strong impression" in the pirate scene had the benefit of those first few days and weeks when wealthy asteroid belts were easily accessible to organized corporations. For any new corp it is much harder to get such an economic base to "work" from.

i also pmed one of MOo and asked about clearance, they just closed it without a word, i assumed that was because mikhail had already said i could pass.
Most anoying part about the blockades is that u just cant go and get anything uve bought, via trade chan or ingame market. Not because your too stupid to check local, but because u try and pay and instead u just get killed. GG pirates :/

Again with the pirate issue...
I hate being killed by pirates just as much as anyone else. It really is annoying and frustrating... but..
I agree that there are "pirates" out there that are just out to kill and habve a laugh, but in all honesty I think we need to think about something here. They can't make a living off of it unless they loot the ship they destroy, and so long as they do that then these people are about as "pirate" as they need to be. If this was real life and not a game, then we would deffinitely have jumpgate campers, because it is a point of traffic, just like highwayman back in medieval days and out in the American mid-west during the days of our western expansion in the United States. Not to mention all over the rest of the world.
I know all this falls on pretty much deaf ears, but as I have said before... If you don't like dealing with pirates then just don't play the game. If we are going to whine about it and keep playing then it obviously doesn't bother us all that much. I understand that not everyone here is whining about it, but this issue has come up so often that it is frustrating. I guess I should just stop paying attention to these threads. Hmm, yep. Good idea. I'm going to follow my own advice. I whine about those who whine uslessly about crap. I'm going to stop being a hypocrit now, but I'm sure you get the idea from the rest of my post. Bottom line is: Don't like it, don't play it.
Whining does nothing to solve the problem. Send feedback to CCP directly or organise a concerted effort to make a change. At least if we try and do soemthing about an issue then we have a reason to complain, otherwise we're just whining to all about how life is so unfair.

lol i think blowing people up without at least doing the 'stand and deliver' bit is classed as griefing if u read the official line on that. I have no problem (other than hating having to do it) with paying them as long as i can get past and go about my buisness but i think u agree if u just have to accept getting destroyed everytime u need to get between lonetrek and the forge, thats just unreasonable and should be stopped by devs.
And finnaly as a paying customer i have a right to my opinion, stop trying to repress it. As a paying customer u have a right NOT to read it, NOT to just tell me to foad. This thread was not started by me, i am mearly replying to it

You're right, Avatar. You have a right to your opinion, and I am not trying to repress it. I just want us to get what we all want from a game. Whining doesn't help. Does it not make more sense to go to CCP with an issue? I think so. Happy opinioning! ;-) We all have them.
Do any of you think that the nature of pirates needs to be reexamined? Yes? Just answer me this.
Will voicing your opinions in a ton of scattered and random forums have any impact whatsoever on CCP policy? Probably not. If you organise into a group petition or some such thing then you will at least be heard, and much louder than we could be heard as individuals.
My criticism can be taken two ways... Negatively and constructfully. The words I chose may have made my tone sound negative, but if you read what the words say and do not try and read into the the "tone" the message is positive.
I have played so many MMOGs that it is rediculous and each time I see tons of people who complain about the game for years only to never see what they want changed. Then I watch as those who organise into large groups, and confront the producer with an issue, get at least some of what they want.
Of course if all a person wants to do is voice their opinion and not see anything ever come of it then of course that is their decision. A person can also sit by and let others organise and do all the work instead of pitching in and aiding in getting the desired change accomplished. Whichever type you may be, or anywhere in between... I just know that I have fellow ganmers who want to see something change, so I am trying to explain one possible way to better effect that change.

i agree on the ccp issue, i just like to think that the devs stop by these forums every so often ;)
On a side note, i have no interest in being hostile with any1 that hasnt done anything to deserve it, so sorry if i came on a bit strong with the freedom of speach vibe :)
