Seems like far too many pirates don't understand that they're stealing from other players.
Because after all, every last pirate is a bad person in the real world.
Talking of stealing and daylight robbery, most tech 2 items have profit margins exceeding 1000%. People scam others over escrow every day of the week. And generally people try to con anything that moves. So dont talk about piracy like its the worst thing in the world.
Oh and its fun, so meh.

So much pirate hate, wow...
There are players with honor, and players without. This has no relation to whether or not they are pirates. This has every relation to how they conduct themselves in the game; if they treat people with respect (no smack, bishi!), keep their word, and don't exploit invisibility glitches to become invincible, etc, they're honorable.
I personally don't pirate. Because of my honor? Heck no! It's a game, people...my honor has very little to do with my choice of occupation in a fantasy universe created solely for one purpose: to have fun!
No, tis more because I prefer deep 0.0 space to lowsec clusterf's, and anyone out there that shouldn't be, well, shouldn't be :p
An honorable person is gonna tell you honestly what will happen, and follow through. End of story. They could be a pirate ("Pay me 100mISK and I'll let you go") or a carebear trader ("Feed me the isk and I'll ship you whatever ya need, Cap'n 'ook!") or a lowsec antipirate ganker who happens to shoot flashies faster than they can ("No, I'm not a pirate...the low sec status is from podding pirates. I won't shoot you if you fly past me").
Claiming someone's dishonorable because they choose to play the pirate in a GAME (whose very mechanics are designed to allow the possibility of player pirates) is just childish.

Me: Will you take 20mil for my ship
Pirate keeps shooting, ship pops, I warp away in my pod
Pirate: No, I kill people
Me: Uhh...ok, enjoy the killmail
Thats the Pirate Coalition for you I guess.
I believe pirates offering ransoms are an EVE myth. Been playing for 6-8 months now and never seen one.
I did that once... Guy was in to Hull and I wasnt planning on ransoming him. So I hadnt planed to turn my guns off SO... he poped and abotu a sec after he poped I said no thanks. And then locked and poped his pod.
Was good game...
By the way this isnt that old of a thread :)

Last night my ceo and where in a 0.4 system looking for people to ransom when we came upon a Hulk mining by itself.
The character using the miner is roughly 6 months old and left his old corp, which has over 500 players, several days ago.
In short we warped in and warp scrambled him hit him with 4 heavy nos. My ceo private chatted him and demanded 20mil ransom, which we feel is ok,since a Hulk is worth roughly 500mil.
The player told him that we needed more help to destroy him, we were in a Raven and Scorpion. The loner proceeded to launch 5 med drones, I have no idea why he did this. So, we let loose and proceeded to destroy him in less than a minute.
Minutes later he eve mailed us and told us to pay 1 billion isk within 24hrs or our corp would be destroyed.
YARRRRRRR told him to get a life.
wow you really are butch
was that you i met in the blue oyster bar last night ?

I had my first solo ransom today \o/
Bugger was so happy I let his T1 cruiser live that he gave me a mil more than I asked for.
I don't know what it is, I never even get hatemail. People I kill seem to grow somehow attached to me *shrug*
Someone above said it right, honor is about standing by your word - not about what you do, but how you do it. Like... when someone asked me once "why did you blow up my ship?", I told them "because I like to blow up stuff, I'm a pirate. Nothing personal". They just said "Oh, ok" and the matter was done with.

Ass, read the whole post.
I said I was a pirate at one point, so I know what i'm talking about. I also said it was a fun time. I just think it's funny that people are disallusioned into thinking that piracy holds some kind of honor, which it doesn't.
I also said that I realise that being a pirate in EVE isn't what makes someone a bad person (if they even are a bad person).
