Banana Torres The Green Banana Corporation Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.20 13:45:00 - [31] Originally by: ThinUCanCatchMe The trouble with Privateers is they just dock when they're faced with even a slightly fair fight. Only the most noobish, of noobs would dock in this situation. If you see any banana doing this please let me know and I will eject them from the corp. Its far better to jump from SS to SS, then you don't get stuck in a station. -- The Green Banana Corporation is Recruiting
Major Stormer Caldari Celestial Apocalypse Insurgency	Posted - 2007.03.20 13:48:00 - [32] Originally by: Tomas Ysidro Amusingly enough I've seen MC pilots on killmails alongside D2, Razor, and the like when it comes to Privateers, often shortly after we've popped a few of their alliance mates elsewhere :S I for one love the idea behind their organization. If a bunch of people want to pool their money to wardec everyone, then that's their perogative. If anything they help keep people on their toes. The best one is a BOB guy and a Celes guy, both fighting priv and being on the same mail Originally by: Graalum Thats a caldari juggernaut torpedo fired by an ibis.
SFShootme The Carebear Stare Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.20 13:56:00 - [33] Quote: Yeah, theres lots of good way to ruin privateers (like devs actually fixing that completely broken and exploitable wardec system). God we so love rumours.... Devs already responded to this issue and there is no such thing as a bugged wardec system... go ahead and petition it and ask for a senior gm... u'll find out Tho shall give Life, for Life.
Ghan Tylous Caldari The Graduates Ivy League	Posted - 2007.03.20 13:57:00 - [34] I can't understand why people hate PA. If you are wardec by PA, you should be thankful. You don't have to go to low-sec to PvP. EVE is a harsh world or universe. Only the strong will survive. Don't be scared to PvP, its a rush! Once you have tried it, you can't get enough of it. Bless you PA --- It have always fallen to a few to sacrifice for the good of many
EscapeArtist Caldari GeoTech Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.20 13:58:00 - [35] Originally by: Gaia Thorn BUT i want targets cause the thing i find in the game to be fun is shooting stuff. So the easy way was to join privateers just to get some more targets. No, you joined PA, because you wanted easy targets.... Most people in Empire aren't looking to fight... and many are unable to defend themselves properly, if they could they would already live in high sector would they? Want targets, go to 0.0 and join a real Alliance, and actually fight under the correct terms. PA are nothing more than board player (most exp come to that) looking to hijack a legitimate system to do nothing more than decrease the games quality of other less exsperenced players, by turning places like Jita into a duck hunt. ------ I am Legend
EscapeArtist Caldari GeoTech Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.20 14:11:00 - [36] Why would you even look for an easy target, when things are easy, there not fun... Anyway, I'm not an easy target, I'm more than happy to fight you silly **s, I just wish everyone else would too. What **es me off, is people taking a system designed to be used for a legitimate purpose, and corrupting it, and while it may not be against CCP wishes it's certainly unsporting. Yes I said proper terms, thatÆs what most wars are about you nonce, regions, sectors and materials. Get a grip. Now, the funny thing is, I'm pretty sure you can't see what the big deal is, and I know I will not be able to convince you otherwise, so its nearly pointless for me to try to do so, but why not take a step back and reflect on just what you are doing, and why. I think you will find that your little killboard becomes a little less important. ------ I am Legend

PleaseDon'tShoot	Posted - 2007.03.20 14:19:00 - [44] Originally by: Heroldyn easier. what makes pa attractive to the corps that pay for the war decs, is the possiblilty to just have some weeks/month fun and then leave pa and become untouchable. so in order to defeat pa, corps/alliances should wardec thoose corps who -just left- pa, destroying that sence of security that makes it attractive to them. So whenever a corp leaves pa, wardec it. Hahaha, now THAT's a great idea! If corps can't afford doing so many wardecs, just make an Anti-PA alliance, that wardecs all corps that leave PA.
Marquis Dean The Last Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2007.03.20 14:19:00 - [45] Heh heh, each one gets better. If you don't like PRVTR, go to 0.0. If you need to haul in empire, use an alt. If you die to a PRVTR pilot, don't immediately come to the forums and whine. And get over the fact that the wardec system is fine. The founders of the alliance have utilised the game mechanics in an extraordinarily innovative way, and kudos to them for that. Please stop starting new threads. Everytime you do, somewhere something cute dies. --- Originally by: Foopadoo Hell hath no fury like an internet nerd scorned.

Spaceman Jack	Posted - 2007.03.20 14:29:00 - [48] Originally by: Brackun Originally by: ThinUCanCatchMe The trouble with Privateers is they just dock when they're faced with even a slightly fair fight. People say that about a lot of corporations, and to be honest why fight if you don't have the advantage - which is the mentality of a fair few. As much as I think the wardec system needs to be resolved and the PA excommunicated, I have to agree with you. Unless the poster continually solo fights against 3-10 man groups with superior firepower, this is a lame put down. There is not a pilot in EVE that wont save his own hide if they are solo and come up with a vastly superior force, especially if they are in empire and have nothing to fight for or defend.

Did you just say go to 0.0 and join a real alliance, and actually fight under the correct terms. That's a mighty nice way to basically **** all over several thousand pilots who are part of alliances that aren't 0.0 based that have fought and struggled to form what they feel is their achievement. Your arrogance that you know the qualifying mark for a "real alliance" or that you know the "correct terms" of fighting are absolutely amazing. That attitude is exactly why I joined privateers. To kill people like you, and if possible to make them cry about their dearest internet spaceships and video game empires. I look forward to seeing you in space. Though I do not expect a shred of the fight I had with your alliance mates last night. You've shown your qualities already in this thread. This is my opinion not that of privateer corp, alliance, its member corps, affiliates, minions, pet animals, ex girlfriends, former roommates, 3rd grade gym teachers, late relatives, ontime relatives,

Maaku	Posted - 2007.03.20 14:34:00 - [52] Originally by: Neener Edited by: Neener on 20/03/2007 10:26:25 OK, im seeing quite a few posts about privateers on these forums and seems people dont have slightest idea how to organize and fight them. Heres one simple solution how to start fighting them: 1. Create chat channel "Kick_Privateers_Butts" or something along those lines where whoever is at war with them can join, offer/gain intelligence, form gangs, etc.. The fifth person to join such a channel will be a Privateer alt spy. Nice try, though.

Though I do not expect a shred of the fight I had with your alliance mates last night. You've shown your qualities already in this thread. Will you people get over yourselves, you miss understand, what is PA purpose, to provide targets in high sector for the entertainment for its member corp. I said join a proper Alliance, and get to 0.0 because thatÆs where the real fight is, its what it was created for and the proper venue. Alternatively join an alliance and fight in empire and fight for shipping lanes and the rest of it, the point is, don't join PA just to pick on people that are currently taking baby steps to PvP. You have also shown your colors by forming PA, you don't fight for any reason other than easy targets, in safe space, I'm not ing over high sector corps, I used to be in one myself, and we did work hard for what we created, I'm just saying PA isn't a valid Alliance, not in my eyes at least. I am fully ready to loose ship, and take them from other. I understood the risks of joining CA... What I can not understand is why PA exists other than to course trouble for players not ready to make the move to low sec? Most members than join PA are high SP players, who know, in 1on1 they'll kick other peoples arses... it's low risk PvP fun in there eyes. (I think before this goes any further, This is my opinion not that of GeoTech, CA, OR its member corps) Quoted, again, as I bet you didn't read the whole thread: Now, the funny thing is, I'm pretty sure you can't see what the big deal is, and I know I will not be able to convince you otherwise**, so its nearly pointless for me to try to do so, but why not take a step back and reflect on just what you are doing, and why. ------ I am Legend
Crusix Bargoth Amarr Meridian Dynamics FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.20 14:55:00 - [55] Edited by: Crusix Bargoth on 20/03/2007 14:51:41 I had 2 PA chase me through 3 systems till I got to a .4, then they stoped as soon as I jumped. This makes them look like a bunch of carebares, but thats not the point of this thread. The point is: to fight PA, jump into low-sec, it scares the be-jesus out of them.

So you say they act just like most other alliances? I think with Privateers Alliance you can't judge the alliance for actions comitted by a corp within the alliance. They don't have the same structure as a normal alliance where everyone works towards a common goal. It's more like every corp for themselves and team up if you come across a friend.

Banana Torres The Green Banana Corporation Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.20 15:17:00 - [59] Originally by: EscapeArtist but why not take a step back and reflect on just what you are doing, and why. I spend a few quid every month on an online game that allows me to spend a few hours a week flying a make pretend spaceship in a make pretend universe. Why? I like flying make pretend spaceships. Ever since I had Elite on my beeb. And PvP is quite exiciting. But I have a full time job, that often involves working extra hours. So I can't devote the time to the game that membership of a 0.0 alliance requires. So for me the Privateer Alliance ticks many of the boxes that need ticking so that I continue to spend the few quid every month. -- The Green Banana Corporation is Recruiting
Kasilof	Posted - 2007.03.20 15:29:00 - [60] New player only about 3 months. War should mean something in EVE. IMHO Priv are just exploiting the game system to buy easy access to targets in Empire. Most of their targets are not interested in PVP. Looks like a cheap way to buy ganking rights. There are many legitimate reasons to want to fight someone in emire and a war dec system is required. However, I think the cost of war decs should stack. The first couple should be cheap. After that they get really expensive. I heard Priv has over 50 war decs - that is as silly as a battle ship flying as fast as an interceptor IMHO. This is a perspecitive from an admitted newb. So take it as you will.
