Hello, I am Shankerz, and I play as a Ass Hole Pirate Ganker. I have played this way for sometime now. As you can imagine, this play style is hated by alot. As much as I am Evil in game, I have learned to do it within the TOS of Star Citizen. Recently there has been alot of panic by Pirates about consequences from CIG over gameplay categorized as Piracy. Its pretty simple to stay out of trouble... As long as your not Spawn Camping or pad ramming or doing other activities that are game breaking your safe. If they respawn, pull out a new ship and fly to you and you kill them, you are safe. At its core Star Citizen is a PVP Space Combat game. CIG understands this and gives us Pirates a wide birth to cause death and destruction across the verse. But there are limits A Organization may move a person, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before CIG, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that. .... Example: If say they are in their own Carrack and you decide to spawn camp their medical bed so you can kill them 50 times and stack up their bodies then your greifing and should be punished. WHEN a victim resists and your the attacker the onus is on you to either kill them, blow up their ship or maroon them. Example say a Carrack had a medbed and the victim who owns it keeps respawning in it. Your trying to steal the ship and he wont let you. So kill him, get off the ship, get back into your ship and use your guns / missles to blow up the Carrack. If it goes soft death then just maroon him in his softdeath hull and go about your day. Mark the location and come back later to salvage it. in 3.18 it will persist. He will likly leave in a few hours after being marooned. Or if the ship completely explodes, then go salvage it and then go about your day. Until CIG fixes this current loop this is the safe way to handel it. We may not like it but again the Onus is on us The Pirates not the Victims to make sure our actions dont fall into Greifing as described in CIG's TOS I get reported daily. People dont like pirates, they dont like when their time and material is lost. Thats just basic human behavior. So you have to make sure that you know the TOS inside and out. read it like a lawyer would. Also remember we have alot of CIG Developers that play as Pirates https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/any-cig-developers-that-play-under-the-skull-amp-c/5744458 Be Smart, as a Pirate if it feels like greifing do something else. Each one of us is accountable to ourselves. ****Update.. Thank everyone for your replies and viewpoints, i love them all. Just make sure when replying we follow the following guide lines.
