thats easy.land on a base save your game, use ioncross editor and then change your location to any of the pirate bases, ex: buffalo base in NY. then goto the factions rep coloumn and improve your rep with liberty rogues, lanehackers and outcasts, decrease your rep with liberty navy and lsf and LPI. this shuld make you an evil dude.

Cheers ittan but I was hoping there was a way of doing it without using any programs to change things in my favour.

As a add-on to my first question are there any MODS that will enhance being a pirate when I become one.

Well, to get in with pirates, you're going to have to try and have to research a bit on which factions hate who. Best thing to do is kill some bounty hunters. That way, you're bound to have some criminals on your side. + at Junker bases, you can get bribes for rogues, which opens up a pathway to other criminals. =)

And regarding mods to enhance piracy, I got nothin'. Sorry. =/

A quick way to do this is, straight from P. Manhatten, is to shoot up the police storage containers. This takes a chunk out of your good-guy status, plus you can get a few $$$ by hoovering up what comes out of the containers. Sell at Detroit Munitions.

Reload and repeat. Two or three goes at this and you can dock at Buffalo Base and start behaving like a Rogue.

why dont you make a mod. i will post it later on and i will make it for you. soon i will send it to you.

samedhi_13 is right. The two storage depots near planet Manhatten belong to the LPI. Destroy them, and you'll be neutral with the rouges. Dock with Buffalo, get a bribe, and start taking missions from the criminals.

Incidentally, I noticed that some storage containers in Tau 29 (Next to the Tau 31 Gate Construction Site) contained construction parts (52). You can sell them at Malta for a $1,000/unit.
When I looked into the purposes of the storage containers I realized that they were necessary for the surrounding processes. Since my Freelancer doesn't work properly, I was wondering whether anyone here could check out the storage containers in Tau 31, along the unfinished trade lane to Planet Harris, to see if they contain any construction equipment. I suppose that the possibility of gaining an almost regular supply of valuable construction machinery to sell to a nearby location would be a useful cash route. If the case is true, experience haulers can make quite alot of money off the route.

hello agn,
the mod is on its way to your inbox. it was fun coding it and took only 2 mins. just use flmm to activate the mod and Enjoy!

You guys are forgetting the most fun way: actual pirating. Park yourself in the middle of a trade lane and shoot at the ring till its energy goes down all the way. Then any trains that are using that lane will stop before reaching the ring, and then their loot is your for the taking. Pick up what you can and punch it, because after convoys get blown up, the police and those bloody bounty hunters will enivatbly come sniffing around.



Here hold my pint while I steer the ship. Of course I'm kidding you stupid bloak, you think I'd trust you with the beer?

Why do that? Just wait for the transports to come to the planets. More loot that way. (More traffic=more loot)

I think airport was asking about being piratical when starting from scratch in OpenSP. For me, that means replacing the Starpants you get at the start as soon as possible and not being red with the local criminal factions.

After looting the LPI storage containers a few times, I'd sell all my equipment (and I mean every single thing) at Detroit Muntions and buy firearms, sell them at Montezuma Base (Cortez), buy Cardamine, sell that at P. Manhatten. This leaves you neutral with the criminals and with enough money to buy a Dagger at Buffalo Base.

You're behaving like a criminal right from the start and are quickly in a position to get on with the hijacking, pillaging, looting, etc.

Thanx all for the replys. I tried being a pirate and it just did`nt seem to feel right for me, I guess at heart I`m always going to be a good guy.
