Question for ye Pyrates out there...

Hail!

I 'ave a question for anyone that may have been playing the demo/pr-beta as a "less than honest" person....a pyrate.

Is the only way to take cargo from other ships to blow them up?
Or, can you use your comms and give them a choice; "Eject yer cargo or meet yer maker!"?

Thanks fer any info ye can give,

Pyrate Dredd

Stand & Deliver mateeee 8) har...

Good question, i'd like answered myself. Could have told you but i can't get the demo to run...So any of you kind souls out there (bastards can chip in also), tear yourself away from the demo for a sec and help us out? ah?

Har....shiver me timbers

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

Aye, and answer would be nice...not that I really mind blowing the heck outta them to get the spoils.

And...um...the demo is easily found in many other places than FilePlanet. I won't list them though.
But, 157,188KBs is just too much for me to download on a 56k this close to the actual release date, even if it really only takes 6 hours...patience is required right now. hehe

Why do you keep typing pirate talk and spelling "pirate" with an Y?

Are you insane?

If so, welcome to the club.

I think you have to destroy the ships, I've tried taking out a trade lane, and managed to destroy the unlucky bastards. Got some good loot.

Then the police droped out and blew the living hell out of me

Well, I guess nobody knows for sure, or they don't want to tell.

I have read that you can ask anyone you see "what they are doing", and such.
And, I have read that the pI rates(better? ) will give you the choice to drop "x" cargo or be attacked.
But, I really hope they allow us to give them ultimatums of the "yer money or yer life" type.

Not that I condone shipping lane piracy, but I'm pretty sure you can't talk to them and tell them to surrender their cargo ala Privateer style, which is really unfortunate indeed.
