Now. Im curious
WHICH pirates are 'Old Fashion Pirates'?
What are 'OFP's?
Their pirates who dont go for your ISK, but more your cargo.
They take after the Swashbucklers of the High Seas, screaming 'YARGG Give Me Ye Cargo Or ye Lives'
And before you flame, Yes I am bored out of my mind and just began wondering who ransoms for the cargo.
<.< tho some ask HOW do you know you get all their cargo? Simple setup: Webber, Scrambler, Cargo Scanner
^_^ and happy 420

Unless Local's clear and there in a nice overpriced t2 cruiser without cap and armour, or a freighter on the gate i wont ransom.
If im shooting you, you go down or i go down, either way im aiming to salvage your loot can and the killmail, ruthless and as quickly as possible. Been blobbed o so many times.
I may 'may' ransom a pod if its over 1 year old, and its still stupid\unlucky enuf to be there. --------------------------------------------------------

Edited by: Kaeten on 21/04/2006 08:06:39 there are many types of pirates these days in eve. Not that many ofp left.
0.0 pirates (known probably as so called "pvpers, fighters" to others)
Gate snipers (lamest imo) Gate tankers (proper pirates yarr) Belt Piracy (yarr) *the two above are OFP style afaiac"
High-sec piracy (my corp)
I think thats it all. Though yes there are alot of blobs today and ransoming doesn't seem to work aswell as it once did.

Edited by: Specture on 21/04/2006 08:27:55 belt pirating only way to go tbh, and If i could take the time to stock pile the miner IIs I have looted... I would be richer than ikvar. And usually if they beg for a ransome I blow em up, if they fight back I blow them up, they talk smack I blow them up, they move I blow them up. I think i ransomed mabey....errr one guy? Well you can count this one guy that i pirated with my thorax, the genius ejected from his megathron and I was like y thank you kind sir :DDDD thaaaaaaats OFP scareing your target from their ship :P

Thats awesome. If I were a pirate I think I would rather forgo a podmail and get ships all day. Maybe they should lower the eject timer to so pirates can scare all the pilots with implants out of their ships. I know I damn well would leave my ship for my pod a lot of time. Damn implants!

Well.. call me sentimental, but I dont like to kill thousands of crew members just for some civilian shield boosters or potencial tech2 items. I like the idea of just dealing this out through non-destructive means. I've ransomed just for the loot in the cargohold, and it paid off.
I guess that would catagorise me with the 'Old Fashioned Pirates' just like I would be liked to be known. Thank you.

Though I am no fan of piracy I respect the fact that you are able to do what you do without resorting to "p0wning n00bs" which is the current flavor.

Think of a REAL old time pirate as a farmer.. Not a gold farmer, an actual dirt and plants farmer.
They may pirate from XYZ Nooblet Corp, but they don't destory the ships. They jsut ask for the cargo to be jettisoned.
WHY??
Well, if you have a bunch of ships with Nos, Webbers, and warp Core disruptors, you can effectivly waylay your target, use cargo scanners to find out what they are holding, and ask them to eject, and you'll let them go.
if you do this without destorying ships, unless they do something stupid, you'll get a rep as "honorable" pirates.. people will be less likely to put up a fight if they know they'll get through it with little damage.
it can be quite lucrative.
Problem is, noone wants to take the time, effort and dissapline(SP?) this requires. They'd rather just blow ships up, pod people and loot the wreck.
one way of piracy is a nuisance. the other ****ES you off. who do you hunt down? The one who annoys you, or the one who really ****es' you off?
One nice thing with the "honest" pirates... no security hits, as you arn't destroying that many ships. So you can be a pirate and still have full access to high sec.

Edited by: K''reemy G''udness on 21/04/2006 22:02:17 I don't want minerals. If they had better mods than me, they probably wouldn't be at 10% hull looking for the safespot bookmark, I would. I will take the can, but I'm a big old loot w ho re.
I haven't killed as many as some of you guys, so I'm not bored with it yet.
I just kill them to kill them. Or they kill me. Either way, it's better than pipe fulla *****!

Happens now and again for some bizarre reason. Also, you sometimes get one of your drones listed as your ship, eg Ship: Wasp I
