Crime & Punishment

Yes because all pirates value a little bit of isk over the camaraderie they have been building up with their corp/alliance buddies for months or years..

Especially since no pirates in eve have more isk than they know what to do with.. Nope nope..

Relax as long as you keep your clone contracts up, you can always be a zombie.

I was strolling down Sand Street one fine summer night
And I spied a fair damsel as she hove in sight.
I ran up my number, to which she replied,
"I'm a Chinatown bumboat going out with the tide,
"I'm a Chinatown bumboat going out with the tide."

I passed her a hawser and took her in tow,
We crossed down the way like a couple should go.
We turned in an alley not too clean or neat,
And we dropped out mudhooks at the end of the street. (2 times)

She then led me up to a third-story floor,
And in her fine stateroom I soon laid her o'er.
She cleaned up her courses and her red flag downhaul,
Laid her lily-white hand on me reeftackle-fall. (2 times)

I gazed in her sternsheets, saw plenty of room,
And into her hullpipe I shoved my jibboom.
With her fenders o'erhanging like a bent scupper's lip,
Pretty Polly's a pirate who scuttled my ship. (2 times)

She rolled and she pitched like a ship in a storm,
And cried out, "Oh, sailor, you're doing me harm!
You're in the wrong port!" she cried out in alarm.
Well, the wrong port be damned, any port in a storm. (2 times)

She burnt down me rigging clean down to the hull,
And back to the sickbay me punt I did scull.
With me foregaps all bent and me mainmast unstrung,
The doctor said, "Sailor, yer jibboom is sprung." (2 times)

Now I'm lying in sickbay, me stern to the wall,
The Chinatown bumboat the cause of it all.
It's ashes to ashes and dust unto dust,
Tell me, where is the woman a sailor can trust? (2 times)

Not seen it happen. Certainly wouldn't do it myself. The bounty on FW plexers is nice tho.




That to.

To me, as a new player it's pretty annoying to get one shotted all the time by pirates. IMO It needs to be toned down...makes it pretty hard when the minute you step into Low sec somebody blasts you in one shot.

I'd say, a pirate is pretty much a cheap player, who sits around gates and well...gate camps. They have all this nice grandiose "look how gruff and cool they are and say they PVP but IMO PVP is when people are expecting to fight, they just ambush pick on the little guy and wonder why everybody else dislikes them

As long as there is the possibility to kill people for profit in Eve then there will be people who do it.

Piracy never dies it simply evolves.

Wasn't/isn't PL Pirates??? Or What about Snuffbox??? Two respected pirate player bases off the top of my head

You cant be more wrong. Piracy holds well especially after Retribution patch.

Tactics changed.
Ways of old simply doesn't work now as many people are far more cautious than they used to be 2 years ago.
Some old friends can't adapt to new reality and leave, but for one that left there is 3 ready to take his place.

For me being a Pirate is making moneys from other people's work with as low risk as possible. Ransoms always should be honored but dont expect much more.
Fair fights?
If you excpect a fair fight from a Pirate you are fool or new around lowsec or both.
We roam in lowsec void purely to take your loot, life and corpse often raping your in the a*s with a hammer.

PvPers in other hands do fixed fights 1vs1 and similar things. Some even fight fair (without 3 fleet booster T3s sitting on safe spot ).

Piracy is simply too profitable profession to be left behind. My 21 Bills ISK cant be wrong.

I consider my self a pirate i lo down loeec scumbag that would ransome your grand mother for her false teeth depends on mood

we are pirates but we also like/want fights

and yes we honor randsoms it corp policy i cant rember one of our guys not honoring randsoms if offerd
if we fck up and kill you afta youve paid the fck wit who shot you sends isk back out theyer pocket

We only randsom pods unless realy juicy ship we lve zee lootz from zee wreckz
