Some of you may have noticed I'm a pirate. I've signed up with the Coalition as a Klingon, but it's not written in stone. I'm officially putting myself up for hire as a mercenary for either side. Price: 10 pieces of gold. Arrrrrrrrr.

I'll probably agree to player requests, as long as they are few and far between, to put players into whatever pirate cruiser they want. Note that engine doubling will likely be disabled, so I'll probably boost the APR by 10% for pirate ships. This is a probably... not gonna say for sure it will happen.

I don't need to be in a pirate ship. I had imagined I would fly the race of the bidder's choice.

I dont think I'm making pirate races flyable. I can edit and put your alliance or coalition account in a pirate ship, however.

That sounds like a lot of trouble for you. It also sounds like I wouldn't be able to pick ships of my own. If this isn't the case I just might go with it.

There are only a handful of players that like pirate ships. Apparently ur #1. Here's how it works. Everyday I do a DB edit. Takes mb a minute for me to assign a ship. I can assign any ship in the list to any player. Ask Krueg.

If I end up getting a bunch of requests, I have no problem doing the 1st 2 or 3 and letting everyone else know that if they didnt get an assigned ship, I didnt have the time and to just deal with it and fly what u can buy. Like I said, there arnt many player who would prefer a Pirate ship over an empire ship, but hey, it can be fun and adds an element of variety. And I'm all for that. If you dont like it, dont worry yourself with it. The 'feature' may be there for those that want to try it.

As the current Gorn Minister of Finance, I would be willing to negotiate a "working relationship" with you. We, Bruce, are always looking for ~~meddlers~~......eh, agents to perform certain missions where one of our large cruisers might just attract too much attention.

Please contact me at your first convenience so that we can talk about price and assorted perks you might be willing to trade your piloting talents for.

The BC2 should be easy enough to arrange, but the star might take a little time. How about a nice hoola girl that you can stick up on the front control panel instead?

Hexx, must you constantly shout to the masses that the only battle tactic you truly feel comfortable with is "ramming speed".

You need to learn to dance the way only a captain of a plasma ship knows. Live outside the kitty travel cage once in a while.

How about the "Geese" being Pirates? The premise could be re-establishing the "Balance of Profit".

WTF you talking about you Godzilla wannabe?

I know plenty of tactics.
There's "ramming speed"
"Oblique ramming speed"
"Oh crap we missed the ram and tool's launched his &#^!&)@!!!! Fighters speed"
" HOW much damage did those photons do? Speed"
and lots more..

1) Fly Lyran
2) Ram everything in sight.

I like to think I'm a little more elegant than that.

More elegant! What's not elegant about the lawn mower! Ye have insulted generations of Lyrans that use a time honoured, true and true method of blowin crap up... I recommend ye install a rear view mirror on what ever bucket 'O pirate bolts you fly... as the only "marque" ye be getting from the Lyrans will be the quick energy slashes from our ESGs to your feeble hull... look quickly before your hull collapses into the cold black emptiness of space...Ah! Sweet ramming ESGs goodness... Muhahahah!

Unless of course you are on our side... in that case we got your six.
