What are you smoking bro? Retribution has breathed new life into Piracy. If anything it's on the rise. Dunno about you but I've gotten more activity in the last three days than in the last three months. Looking at a little choke point 36 kills in under 24 hours.

Also take into account the craziness that is the Algos, Vexor, and Thorax. Our little suicide cruiser gang took our drakes, two Nightmares and a Talos and Hurricane. Make no mistake a lot of us wear the Flashy Red with pride.

So hoist the colors, mother fu*^ers. We're going in hot

As a pirate myself (I really have no other career in Eve), I don't think that piracy is tapering off any more than it was at the beginning of Inferno. The Retribution buffs have added some nice tools and beneficial mechanics for us lowsec pirates.

I have noticed a little more traffic into my home, from carebears looking for a pvpers fix, missioners/plexers and sometimes anti-pirates and other pirates alike. I think we'll see a slow rejuvenation of people returning back to lowsec piracy from highsec wars and general griefing due to more pilots venturing out of highsec to get a taste for the seedier parts of New Eden.

Ha!

Heh ha hee haw, tighten up your cowboy hat Hoss.

Maybe the lesser skilled outlaws and weekend warriors are afraid to wear the flashy red...but not the pirates I know, certainly not Amamake's finest.

Piracy in retribution is better than ever before, and with all these so called "bounty hunters" coming to low-sec...I just want to thank CCP for finally putting the rest of Eve in a position where they'er not afraid to fight us anymore.

Bounty me :)

**** no,

The new crimewatch is pretty much the best thing that has ever been introduced to the game for outlaws.

That along with my personal favorite, "c-key insta5-¦scan"



As to other points.. Ashamed for being an outlaw? You're hanging in the wrong circles mate..

Piracy is a state of mind not sec status.
