EVE General Discussion

Pirate factions could be allowed as a character switch sort of, say for example, I could grab this character And decide to turn it into a Gurista Character After all guristas are caldari mostly, make it irreversible and change gameplay for it like this:


On null sec I can shoot freely without getting a criminal tag, I m a criminal already.

On High sec its the equivalent of null sec for me, I m FFA, but concord will not jump into the Fray, so I could jump into high sec and engage at will, and people from the normal empires could engage me at will as well.

High Sec stations and stargates will shoot at me on sigh always, the same for navies and faction police.


I gain access to Faction specific missions separate from those the agents already give, this missions provide more LP and ISK than regular pirate missions.


etc etc, something like this would be cool.

If this was sanctioned, I would probably give up my high sec status for easy access to the bhaalgorn

More meaningful interaction with NPC pirates would indeed be awesome, even just simple things like belt / mission rats that take into account your standings towards them. Actually joining up with them would probably only be an option if the benefits / drawbacks were significantly different from the current FW mechanisms though. After all, if we wanted to do FW we'd be doing FW.

That sounds cool. Pirates with their own version of concord that attacks any non-aligned capsuleers.

There are already pirate factions in the game. They are called low-sec/null-sec PvP corps.

yk

Pirate stations.

The sansha station in particular would be badass!

It's a well known fact that pirates migrate to empire to breed. They allow their young to grow up in the sheltered pools of peaceful high sec until they are a few months old as capsuleers, at which point they grow a spine and venture out of those protected area's and back to their natural habitat and feeding patterns.

Firstly this entire thing would be a brilliant idea and yes we have heard "rumours" about being able to affect the sec status of systems but i'm unsure on how that would doe that Pirate FW would be a way (atleast).

But for CCP to bring in fully fledged pirate faction options within the character creation, pirate missions ( not gate camp and wait xD) but something more interesting.

But being honest I dont believe they will announce anything along those lines well atleast not for awhile I will hope and pray that they do in the near future e.g next year's summer expansion or though not at all likely this years winter expansion.



Secondly for the quote, I'm fairly sure there has been one Player that was placed within the sansha ranks awhile ago to play along side the npc's, someone please correct me if i'm wrong here, though i'm pretty sure i read about it a while ago (a couple years at least)
