Just as our ancestors did long ago, on a world long forgotten to history, we ply our trade throughout the stars. For many years, many pilots of EVE have plied their trade with little or no attention from CCP. We help make EVE a more...interesting place. Sure their are a number of detractors that would lament that players, such as myself, or the Goons, or any number of others that partake of this game style, are bad for the game.

I say let them whine!

We are just as much a part of EVE as the rest of you. In all the time players who pursue the life of piracy, never once have we seen CCP give our lot much attention. Others get brand new ships. New game mechanics. New content. What have I and my brethren gotten?

Sodden nothing.

It is with this thought that I purpose that every and all pirates in the game of EVE begin burning and pillaging with the likes this game has never seen. It is not enough to blow up a retriever or hulk now and then. Nay! Like our ancestors of old...we must go forth into the vast shipping lanes of high-sec and take all that we can.

Burn Jita and Hulkageddon V were all good and well...but I think we have not done enough. It is time to take a stand. Gather your mates and go forth like locust to wheat. Take down freighters laden with all the riches of the stars filling the holds. Ransack the richest parts of space and take all you can find. Be bold brothers and sisters.

Make CCP know that we will give no quarter until they recognize us and begin to spread some love our way. It is time brothers and sisters - it is time for...

You don't know what piracy is. You killed it yourself.

When was the last time someone actually paid a ransom, as opposed to flipping you the finger and start sd timer. There was a golden age in piracy, and it won't come back with you here.Roll

Exactly...take a stand. If CCP doesn't hear us - unsub! Biomass yourself. Send a clear massage! Pirates need love too! Pirate

Before you leave though. Make sure to contract your wealth to me. I'll put it to good use. Ganking boats are getting expensive.

Enjoy and just a suggestion.
The richest trading lanes flat out in game let alone High-sec are the trading lanes from 0.0 where all Moon Minerals, Mexallon and Zydrine flows into high-sec for sale.
You will need to set up to gank jump Freighters.
It isn't very hard as most 0.0 alliances tend to use the same low-sec systems over and over.

If you miss them there they will scatter to the winds in smaller ships.

It has always amazed me that these locations are never camped.

If you want to get piracy changed, ganking in highsec ain't gonna get it done. Highsec bears aren't the ones whose voices cause CCP to change something. If you spend all your time ganking the supply lines of big alliances, then they're going to complain to CCP to buff piracy, just so they can get their goodies back to Jita and sell it. If you cut off their supply lines, and the only way to make it stop is the give in to your demands, then they'll get it done somehow.

Suicide ganking isn't piracy. Its idiocy.

Piracy is where you ransom hauler ships.

I wonder why.
Oh! Maybe it's because of people taking a stand with events like Burn Jita and Hulkageddon? Lol
You're only cutting in your own fingers by attacking the people who produce 99% of all stuff on the market xD

The golden age of piracy died with mOo and others of that era. Hi sec ganking and shooting hulks doesn't count. I like pirates in game, but your a shadow of what you where.

you are a disgrace for a prirate. Go out and actually kill/ransom some poor souls and put them out of their misery.

You know what real-world pirates did?

They attacked and looted and ransomed the gold ships of great empires.

Why don't you quit hitting hisec miners and do that instead? Then you'll be real pirates.

I extort millions in ISK just by letting miners in asteroid belts know that if they do not pay me x amount of ISK that it'll cost them dearly. I can rake a cool 50+ mil in a few minutes this way. :) Never even have to fire shot. Move to a new system. Wash, rinse, repeat.

If they do not pay and warp to stations with their mining ops. I just wait. Then I return, blow up a barge or exhumer and repeat my offer. Soon the ISK are flowing in.
