Hello. I want to share my idea of creating a squad, big or small, that would fight pirates. At the moment they dominate space, mostly NVE, but there are solo hunters. After gathering some information about them, i can give some conclusions about Piracy: * Caly SS is most popular place for their activities. * There at least one pirate almost all the time patroling around Calypso SS. If one gone, second comes instantly. * Pirates coordinate their actions with each other. * They have a spies in some MS and know where people will gather for space travelling/hunting/repairing. * Everyday i hear about pirates getting loot from people who try to earn some PED. We would open more possibilities for traders to bring goods to other planets and stabilize markets around Universe. We would start helping each other, not leave anyone to fight pirates alone.. What our rules/missions would look like(editable): * Never attack first, unless the target is well known pirate. * Watch space, share information, coordinate our activities like pirates do. * Kill aggressor. If pirate attacks someone, we destroy him immediately. We only share pirated loot to buy more weapons/oil/ammo for our activities. * Our member can be anyone, we defend each other and other victims of pirates. Also if member is in space and somewhere near where combat taking place, he should be ready to assist anti-piracy community. * We can edit/add rules by suggestions of other members. First of all i want to know if there would be any interests from people around Entropia universe for such activities.. After offering this in game i heard few opinions that MA will fix space, there will be patrollers who shot pirates. Maybe, in 2-3 years time or longer.. and their efficiency is doubtful.. So i offer to do something now, take responsibility and create alliance against aggressors. Please express your opinion.
We had many who tryed. No one still around because pirates usually are not simple emplyes rl. They have money and time to spend years in space.
Agreed. One should be part of this group of players ... "have money and time to spend years in space." It's simply not worth it. Except one have a special need in hunting pirates ... wich could be an exciting business of course ... some sports even. But it'll cost money and one would need patience and regarding skills.
I think at the moment it isn't a big issue. As with most things probably the people who fall foul of pirates are the same as people who fall foul of any aspect of the game. ie anyone who didn't do enough research or ask the right questions. More significantly, space isn't really developed yet. It exists but its use is rudimentary past being a corridor from A to B. There are a whole bunch of things to fix too. Best off waiting and seeing what goes off over the next half year as to if MA do anything about/to space then mobilise forces as necessary. Wistrel
just fly at oddball hours and no problems... space is fairly empty of most things, including pirates.
