Silent Scream are mostly ex-klepto, and we keep it as old school as possible.
But the direction the game is heading in looks like in a years time it will be either 0.0 messing around in huge fleet ops(boring) or living it up in high sec with not much care for death because t2 items will cost about 100 isk each.
where does the game direction leave hardcore low sec pirates when a good loot drop a year ago is worth jack nowadays?
Lets think how pirating has changed over the last few years, ill start you off.......
Dampened sentry guns 
Loot worth isk
1x smartbomb pod kill
warp to 15
no stab penalty
i mean comon ccp, what does eves most gentlemanly proffession have to do to catch a break.
Feel free to list how the game itself has had an effect on our job both good and bad.

On one side I feel that players are generally a bit more savvy and warp to zero helps protect those who're not.
For my time left in eve I feel that the style of piracy will be more white collar than the rough and tumble stuff I'm used to.
I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.
Most people have missed the point that this is Mobsters Online and that carebears are at the bottom of the foodchain. |

So lets just pray that Blizzard won't buy out CCP, and turn it into a space version of WoW.

Low sec piracy is usually pretty boring. However there are still 2 good ways to make big profits in low sec.
- find a station that carriers use to jump in and out of 0.0. Find one that spits ships out of dock range. Kill them.
- find a low sec system that freighters got through a lot. Kill them.
Piracy will never be dead, as long as there are people with stuff of value, and people who are willing to kill them for it.

Give the dev's some credit. All warp to 0 did was move the camp to the other side of the gate. They won't want to see low sec empty and booring. Level 5 missions are already lo and no sec only content there will almost certainly be more. As for piracy, if it ever dies, then those afraid of it will come where it can get them and it will be reborn.

What he said. If you look at our kill board we still manage to make some good money in low-sec

piracy died with the NOS nerf
hehe, just kidding.
i think 0.0 and lowsec will become boring pretty soon. i see more and more pirates doing stuff in highsec as it seems to be more challenging (kill enemies without getting concorded) or just half afk gatecamping at places where high sec meets lowsec (still boring but good profit while playing your psp or reading a book)

Sadly to say the muffin factory may give up piracy Max.
Assault frigs may be able to catch everything on entry but there isn't enough people traveling threw low sec to catch.
There is about 75% less traffic as the days of old and i don't see ccp giving incentives for people to go into low sec anytime soon.
Ive been talking about it with my guys where thinking about going merc/0.0 hunting again.
But if they nerf piracy a couple more times my corp will probably leave eve.
Hopefully they will stop making this game about everyone but pirates because where what makes eve interesting.

I dont think piracy will ever die in eve.
However the best part of eve for muffin factory was traveling in squads of 3-4 recon cruisers and killing people in belts in the bleak lands area.
But we have done a ton of roaming and there is no kills to get in the belts anymore its prity much empty space, that alone killed the best thing in this game for me.
As for empire wars i dont like camping a station 6hrs for 1 battleship kill =/

im making ok isk from ransoms, not billions but enought to keep me going, and now and then you popp a hauler whit some good loot.
and theres caps that can give you some good isk like mentioned above, but hard to ransom solo. :P
but yea standard loot drops is often crap, tech 2 gear is to cheap, it just give you enought refine to build ammo and some spare tech 1 ships.

Low sec piracy is alive and kicking.. 'pirates' moaning about changes in the game are merely displaying their inability to adapt. x13 is getting plenty of kills in low sec.. piracy may have become more challenging , but whats the problem with that? its still easy pickings (but apparently not easy enough for some ppl), since low sec is still full of pilots taking risks and running the gauntlet.

What ****ed me off about warp to 0km is that there is no chase now :( No stab monkey making the warp to a gate or station and me chasing to finish the job under sentry fire.
Seen quite a few people I've warped in on scatter for a gate and by the time I get there he is jumped and in warp to another gate in the next system, 1 minute later he is 3 jumps away :(

Seems that low sec piracy has actually been given a large buff as of late. Seems to be somewhat of a stealth buff though as not many people seem to know about it

haha yea that ofcourse :)
by the way im not complaining. im making good isk from piracy, im a newbie at having it as my only living to.
no i havnt made billions yet, but i think if i keep this up the billions will come eventually.
tho I can imagine its tuff for the younger guys who solo around the belts in frigs and cruiser trying to make a living of it since tech 2 loot has dropped so much in price.

Unfortunately this sounds very familiar, Die hard pirate corp's seem to be assessing their options on a more regular basis.

Imo, it wasnt so much that warp to zero killed campin as such, it killed the chase.
In the old days you had a chance of catchin your victim if he escaped from you at a belt. so it was worth followin them.
Now there no point, they just warp to z to a gate or station.
Take out warp to z to anythin execpt from gate to gate, thats what CCP should of done, Not warp to z to everythin.

Well pirates bring balance to the game in my opinion.
If it wasnt for pirates carebears would be even more abundant(and there are to many as it is already).
But about a year ago it was a lot easier to get solo kills and has been getting
harder ever since, I just gave up piracy to much hassle for too little kills.
They should get rid of warp at 0 and make instadock/jump bookmarks impossible
by making the ships warp at a random point 15kms away from what you where aiming for.
This is also more realistic since space bound to have some anomalys that bring you a bit of course.
Plus that the random point makes the chase a bit harder for pirates.
