Not a pirate myself but I miss seeing randsom camps. whatever happened to those? I been flying off and on for eight years, only been in one maybe twice. Three tops. I feel like pirates forgot the point of of piracy and just want kill marks and mails. ---

No, but _most people_ donā€™t prefer to stay negative, and not below -5 in any case. Sticking to your CONCORD criminal status is a _statement_. ---

It actually even poses some tactical problems, if this still works the way I think it does. Deep-red entities donā€™t benefit from gate guns at all, but those attacking them can, meaning pirate frigates often canā€™t even defend one of their own against an attacker without drawing turret fire. Pretty sure I can guess how I know that. ---

Hey, Iā€™m happy with my -9.7 (somewhere around that) and aiming for -10. I donā€™t make public statements about it. Also smartbombing trade hubs is beneath me, no honor in it in my eyes. Logistics arenā€™t too hard when you make friends with industrial corps and use red/black frog ---

Can you even use smartbombs that close to a station? I thought that specific practice got added in alongside orbital bombardment as ā€œsomething we literally canā€™t do.ā€ ---

People float on the undock far enough that smartbombs become usable. Not that thereā€™s much point to it. ---

A truly _smart_ bomb would only affect the capsule of the ship firing it. ---

Played this game years ago as a pirate, and let me tell you; youā€™re right. My two most memorable engagements would have been easy kill mails. Had a rookie explorer get caught by me and I made a deal with him to pull his probes in (they cluttered my directional scanner lol) and jettison them and everything else in his cargo. Took his probes and let him have the rest. Told him to go and I cut my scrambler loose. This other guy was ratting in lowsec in a Drake and I got him to take his missile launchers off šŸ˜† and he scurried back to Arnon in shame. šŸ˜† šŸ˜† ---
