By that definition it's still piracy even if pirate doesn't rob, loot, ransom or gets whatever profit. In lowsec and highsec of course, blowing up anything in 0.0 isn't illegal.
I'm sure it's illegal still in the minds of people but there's just no law to enforce consequences, other than the people you just shot deeming you and people wearing your colors a pirate to be killed on sight. |

Originally by: Furb Killer NBSI in 0.0 is not pirate imo, it is defending space. In low sec you shoot everyone, so you are just a pirate.
If you shoot blues as well yes your a pirate and probably wont remain blue for much longer if your nbsi and shoot neutrals and reds but not blues then that doesnt neccesarily(sp?) make you a pirate.

It does make you a pirate when you shoot neutrals (with everyone i mean neutrals + reds, no one shoot blues anyway, why put people on blue and then shoot them?).
You shoot neutrals, you are pirate

That's fair enough. I define a "neutral" as 'not a friend but has made an arrangement with my corp/alliance to fly in our space'.
Strangers who just come in univited get the same treatment I'd give an uninvited stranger I found in my home.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

Our Corporation is Anti-Pirate and we have a NRDS policy. If we see a neutral (meaning not red) engage us because of NBSI, he/she will be quickly changed to red.
The neutrals will learn who shoots first and who doesn't... so NRDS does work. I for one believe that NSBI is very close to being a pirate. Think about it.... if you shoot at everyone who isn't your friend, how is that different than what a pirate does?

maybe cause someone has already claimed that land, perhaps they are called the imperial factions? and Concord is a 3rd party police force that basically says "well smack you for shooting anyone in this space"?

Laws aren't enforced well in lowsec, but they still exist - you have sentries shoot you and security status drop if you attack unprovoked. That is a sign that you're commiting act of illegal violence and therefore, by definition, you're a pirate -> There are no laws in 0.0 so it's actually impossible to be a pirate there(what you do has to be illegal, remember?) - heard that 0.0 wannabe pirates? you're no pirates, just some random punks

That is certainly a view to which you are entitled. Specifically NBSI is a way of life in certain areas of 0.0 (Tribute, Vale of the Silent, Stain) to name just a few of the 60 regions.
Pirate like behavior is capturing your pod and ransoming it for $.
FWIW, try flying through an area that allows Neutrals and watch how fast Sovereignty changes.

I used to complain about NBSI constantly, then I joined a sovreign alliance. While I still have utter respect for the Providence alliances, I see very clearly the big picture under which the vast majority of territorial alliances have to operate. I don't grouch about it anymore.

Ok well CVA is NRDS. But they lay claim to all of the Amarr Empire. So in any low sec if your are Red to the they shoot. So is CVA a pirate? If u live in Low sec and have POS in low sec then thats your home. Put all the fake ass RP sh9t aside..Home is home. Now i will admit NBSI in low sec is a bit yarrish. But the Idea of NBSI is a good one. TO me when i think about NRDS is kind like let the noob corps spies all in your home. Im not sure how well NRDS work but this is about so ill stya on point. NBSI works well. In 0.0 and in Low sec. I think NBSI should only really be enforced in choke pts to your 0.0.

Who cares about getting called a pirate? Lol.
Besides, if someone is calling you a pirate, it's becuase you killed them, so obviously you don't like them anyway... i don't see how their opinion matters?

Chances are it would be some Carebears, an Indy, or Anti-Pirates. Being labeled as a "Pirate", as you can imagine, would do horrors to their reputation.
Some people also may not agree with the criminal lifestyle and feel its overrated and un-necessary too, and can PvP a lot better in other ways, and kill a lot more, while it would remain 100% legal - depends on the persons tastes and backgrounds.
I personally think that piracy is at times overrated, and moreso a efficient means at making a ton of enemies you might not be able to afford to handle - and you can kill a lot more stuff, or just as much stuff, PvP'ing by other means. But, I wouldn't care if I was accused of being a pirate here and there because I'm not a member of some Industrial/Carebear Society or Anti-Pirate Alliance.
I have pirated before in low-sec, but not enough to get flamed badly for it, and/or have mercenary contracts out to have me dead; Perhaps I should set some sort of goal, for motivational purposes... . The only thing I like about piracy is that it's amazing to see how easily you can **** someone off, and seeing what lengths they may go through in effort to lash out in anger. ____________________

So a pirate is defined as someone who ransoms? Question 1: After you destroy thier ship, do you loot it?
Question 2: If one can shoot anyone that is not blue.... how is this different than a pirate?

Edited by: Amastat on 01/07/2008 20:32:39 Edited by: Amastat on 01/07/2008 20:31:27 Because you don't ransom in no way means your not a pirate... Most pirates only ransom when they know they will get paid, and doesn't bother with a ship/target when they know they won't pay up enough ISK - so you just kill them and loot whatever drops.
Casual pirates who don't really know the ransom system very well just blow up anything that moves - that's what I do.
In my eyes your taking more risks and could be in a trap when ransoming, in those few seconds you open a convo window and wait for a payment, you could be jumped by the victims backup. Better off using those few seconds to kill him and get out and find a new target. ____________________

*pushes CVA out of 0.0, since they arent nbsi they dont belong there apparently 
There are like 10 pirates left that ransom, 99% of the pirates just shoot you. Of those 10 pirates 9 will blow you up after you paid the ransom. Result, basicly no one in his right mind pays ransom, and the 1 pirate that didnt blow you up after ransom sees that it is futile and also stops asking ransom. Summarized: Hardly any pirate asks ransom, most who do ask ransom will blow you up anyway.

We ransom, however, we don't do it often since most of us are self-sufficient and aren't the role playing type.

As a number of ppl have already pointed out, this is a veiled attack on CVA policy in Providence
Basically, we operate innocent till proven guilty, rather than the other way round.

Also paying ransom as well as demanding one is against official CVA policy and will get you in trouble if you do it
