Yes Pirate :salute:
I started out as a trader & while interesting I found it somewhat slow. Of course the fact that I wasnt making much money on each trip was probably part of the problem.
Next I tried Argon Military. I liked this a little more largely becasue of my skill at ACM. All those years playing AirWarrior, Warbirds & Aces High paid off :icon_lol: but I didnt care for the regemented scenario. Sure I could elect to not follow the orders but being a blood & guts ex-military guy myself I knew I would never do that.
Lastly I tried Broke Assasin mostly as a lark. You start out with a decent ship that has good weapons & most upgrades (scanners, goggles etc) & ZERO credits. But insofar as rules... What rules! LOL
I guess maybe it is because of a life of having my nose to the grindstone & doing the right thing that the notion of role playing a character that avoids all that I find appealing.
My 1st night I pirated 3 ships, defended a station from Pirates & made a hit. On 2 occasions the Argon Police crashed the party & that made for an interesting encounter.
Long story short I prevailed against the police on the 1st encounter. I was near a space station & dodged & weaved through the pilings as I fired. It was a protracted battle but I eventually prevailed because the police kept hitting the station.
It was a GREAT night!
I dont know about my long time survivability as on the 2nd encounter with the police I got 2 of them & then with nothing to hide behind/around had to make a run for the gate & was pretty banged up.
My noteriaty is pretty high (in a bad way) so most stations wont have anything to do with me so I am not exactly sure how I am going to repair my ship. I also have to steer well clear of the police so they dont come after me.
The whole cat & mouse is deliciously fun :icon_lol:
