Smart bombing little stuff on a gate isn't just 'being rude to defenseless people' it also can be extremely lucrative. =)Susan Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283038126491111382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-1591627614708411382013-12-03T12:14:26.860-08:002013-12-03T12:14:26.860-08:00Blowing you up and taking stuff is piracy. Blowin...Blowing you up and taking stuff is piracy. Blowing up folks that does not generate a profit is NOT piracy. Being an arsehole is not being a pirate. Ganking without the intent of earning more ISK than risked is piracy. Ransoming for ISK is piracy. Taking the ISK then podding the pilot is not good for business, therefore not piracy.<br /><br />Piracy was about the money. Period. Prisoners were treated very well, every courtesy was extended to their 'guests' Anything that would increase the amount of policing was discouraged - killing your prisoners that you intended to ransom (although ransoming was EXTREMELY rare) was frowned upon. Theft was fine (from victims). Pirates were uncommonly democratic in their dealings with each other, as well as very even handed with respect to share of loots including payment for lost limbs (or other bits).<br /><br />Blowing someone up on a shuttle give no ISK to the player, therefore a pirate wouldn't bother. A pirate might try to be polite to the shuttle pilot, perhaps to encourage that same pilot to fly an expensively fit ship or full-bellied cargo ship another timeKnug Lidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168621175894976018noreply@blogger.com
