being a pirate

Sup

I've played the demo. love the game. mouse rocks. game kicks butt. gotta own. but...

is it just me or is being a pirate (at least in demo) really hard and next to impossible.

cause every base (that i know of) is crawling with cops and pirates hate you anyway.

help.

In the full game, there are also systems owned by pirates.
So yes, its hard to be a pirate in the demo because NY is crowded with police(bases)

Well, in the demo anyway. It is possible to be a succesful pirate. First you have to get you rep with the Rogues/outcasts/junkers up to neutral or better. Then you can go to either pirate base in the demo and get missions. Unfortunately, they are basically the opposite missions of being a good guy--go to the waypoint and kill all the Navy ships (instead of Rogue ships). There are 2 pirate bases in the demo, Buffalo Base, and Rochester.

By the way fellow spaceblaster dudes, in the demo, what is a good (and a kinda safe) way to get on the pirates goodside and how do i find a pirate base?

Kill bounty hunters. Bases will still let you land on them and cops will still like you. Or you could kill Xenos, but if you kill enough bounty hunters, even the Xenos will begin to like you.

No buy pirate ships in the demo......

See spoiler forum.

There are 2 pirate ships you can buy, one at each base, nut you have to be Lvl 2 and up to get them

You can't get past level 2 in the demo

Blood Dragoons are cool when on your side but before they joined me with the story line i was blowin em down. i done 500 ships now al2gether that is. And iam in a bounty hunter heavy fighter 71k it cost. This game rocks big style only thing they could change is a few more speaking parts and lose the " your new here arnt you" " yup"

Bomber: the "buffaloe" pirate base is inside the nebula near west point and Ithica Research Base. Use the map to see the pirates routes to the base
