Well I don't think the Pirates and Police are not doing their jobs right. Although I would admit that I don't fine very often. The problem is, never will I see a pirate that is willing to stop and pay a fine. You guys just run and then its a pain. When I get attacked I stop, wait, see if the pirate wants tax, and if not, then I open fire or run.

And usually because I get taxed in my train, I just pay, because I can't fight with it anyways. I wish pirates would do that once in a while. I know criminals in real life run faster when a cop goes "STOP RIGHT THERE!" but not all do.

Well, for the reasons I stated above, that would just put you guys at an advantage. Because no one trades with fighters, and no one wants to defend, because they are too afraid to lose their cargo.

However I do agree we work something out to make the RP a little more interesting. And different traderoutes is definitely a good option.

I would propose that the prisoner run also changes sometimes. Because just like before everyone will be trading with Prisoners because its legal, fast, and profitable, and it never changes. The only more profitable routes are BMGs, and though some are short, others take you across the entire Sirius system. While its nice to explore and trade, losing a shipment on the way because of NPCs or players is not fun. So we need more legal routes that are more or less profitable than the prisoner run.

But for now I'd say we wait and see. Maybe OP already has something planned. I mean, up until now, there is nothing to complain about, except the bugs, but thats normal since its Beta. So maybe when the Dynamic Universe comes back we will have new traderoutes?

Also, as I remember I told about long ago, there shouldn't be a 'bst ship', with high handling and possibilityes than the rest of the fighter ships. As soon, in a while all people will have the same ship, nearly (as happened with Lagg), then for getting bored, people switch to other ships... jsut for seeing too much the same ship So the idea would be a group, ( 10 ? 20 ?) of ships, with the same handling, weaponry, features, energy, there could be a little difference at the hull, but notthing important heh. That would make PvPing more interesting, each player with his own ship, each one preferring how his ship looks, over the other ships, but all being the same in all features.

Totaly agree with this!

Actually i have paid every single fine that the Police have asked for. It just so happens that only 1 Policeman has ever asked me to pay a fine. On 2 Occasions. And after i paid the fine, he then blew me up. Which is a against server rules, but then, being a Server Police that was OK i was told so i made no big deal about it. I dont forget things like that tho. They change they way you look at the rules and how they apply.

The Only fine i didnt pay was from BG Military who wanted me to pay a fine of 200 Million, which is also breaking Server RP rules.

If others do not behave ridiculous, then you will find the RP works, and you will find more pirates willing to pay fines (if theyre ever caught) and as for police not catching Pirates, im not making fun here, but i've never seen Police actually doing what pirates do sitting waiting and disrupting trade lanes to actually catch us. No offence but Pirates do this all the time and we have ways of trapping people into paying or fighting. Also, only 2 days ago i taxed people using an APC with only 2 guns on! and they payed!.

When you play as a Pirate, the server rules only apply to you, and not to annyone that wants to attack you. This is the so called balance of the server. Try being a pirate and you to will see all this happening before your very eyes, the hate from people, and complete disregard for server rules. I wouldnt say LP are squeeky clean with regards to upholding these rules, but given the amount of trouble we suffer from other people doing it, i would say we have done a good job of doing our best to play fair with people.

Kudos to Sax!

What a style, intercepting trade rutes, plundering with a broken cutlass and rudely defying BG's!

And yes, Pirates were often harrased for reasons that had nothing at all to do with roleplay.

Just to add to that The Police i blew up yesterday were were trading BMG. I dont think they deserved to be taxed so i just KOS'd. However i did try taxing a copper in Dresden, who was not trading BMGs. He was unwilling to pay so he exploded, and now has a vendetta against me. Oh come on, stop the insults and play the game. Its not my fault if Police cant take a loss on the chin, and be a man.

I don't blame you for what you guys do, and well, after trying to fine 2 pirates a long time ago, I gave up after they refused and promptly blew me to bits. XD Well, in any case, I know you LPs are good guys, even though you're pirates. You're plundering gracefully, so to speak.

last time I wanted to blow up a pirate I got insulted (yesterday)

hmmmsss the irony

Spiky, im sure you will teach this rude pirate a lesson if anything offended u plz PM me, im aware of half the story.

Thanks Lone, understand your frustration i've seen first hand the gung ho attitude of some pirates, please persevere with fines mate, it wont be long before you find pirates that will pay if you trap them Especially at the moment as many have no fighter/substandard fighter or even flying around in freighters

Personally i welcome back [CFPD] and i hope we can make excellent RP together, better than ever in 1.8.

And i wish the best for BG to have a strong presence with many trains for me to blow up [8]

i dont mind being taxed myself unless i pay it and still get shot. which has happened on way too many servers to count.

With any luck that will not happen here, at least not with LP for sure. We give a 2 hour breathing space after every tax/kill. (unless provoked again with insults etc by the person who got taxed/killed, which funnily enough happens very often)
