So fellow yarrs, what do you plan on doing since sniping (the only way to actually make isk in piracy) is gone and instas are still in.
Not to mention belt piracy doesn't work since just dock when you enter system.
I was thinking get someone to fly a scorp armor tanked and some booster and disrupters to hold a prey long enough for the more hard hitting BS's to get lock and kill.

Pfft, my security status might start going back up then. Not to mention, you just exchanged empire piracy for blob 0.0 warefare. Boring.

I always made more money tanking sentries than I did sniping. So I don't see the problem.

Sniping is not the only way to make isk from pirating. I have made 100's of millions from pirating in belts,a nd at complexes
Whining sniping pirates give us all a bad name.

Since when is sniping the only way of making isk? Ok ive only been piewating for like 1,5 month now, but ive made 150m+ in belt's. Dont know if that's good, but it's enough for me and im having fun doing it. Nothing more fun then ransom ppl, or trying to do it. And the loot u get from time to time and bad either, to many carebears with to mutch cash out there

there is no piracy in .0, so please dont confuse "surprise PVP" with empire "true" piracy.
.0 doesnt have any laws, so you cant possibly be a pirate.
but yes, Dio, we will just have to continue gateganking:D its far more effective then sniping to be honest.
also, im feeling interceptor/assfrig attacking complex action sometime soon :) |

May I ask where you pirate, because everyone in low security Amarr region just goes and insta docks as soon as you appear on local. I honestly think a lot of it also has do to with your characters name. I of course would usually appear on the more notiacable top while you would be more hidden.
Immediate local has to go.

0.0 is lawless, you can't commit a crime and be a pirate if there is no law. Hence, unless you are blinking, you are no just trying to

CCP had removed instant local some time back but abandoned their own vision and gave in to whining. That made me crocodile tears.

Aunenen. And I mostly do it in small ships rifters etc, so people don't tend to run as fast. Also you can find a lot of NPCers about.
Though I have to admit I did get lucky and make 250mill from a wolf vs hawk 1v1 one time And 80mill another time from a harpy.
But in general I find you can make ok isk belt pirating, complex pirating and ransoming. Maybe it does depend alot on where you pirate though. ------------- Order of the Wombles: Recycling those untidy modules on your ship.

heh no piracy in 0.0 what a joke. Don't speak on something you have no idea about. Because you fail doesn't mean others fail. Assumptions are also ignorant as well listening to others who say something is dead. It is true majority of the trade runs and mining occurs in Empire yet the alliances today are HUGE. Lots of 0.0 mining going on and lots of transport ops going in and out of systems. Pirates are simply to scared to engage or yet to stupid to see it. I can think of nothing better but 1 frieghter and 1 scorpion moving a full load of ore up 7 systems alone. Why can't you?
If sniping is gone there is still tanking which so many have said. Only problem with tanking is the fact you have to tank massive gun fire while diverted to a single target. Which leaves a big weakness on pirates part. Even more on a solo pirates part. None the less, it's similar to sniping. Whatever kills the target... Isk always to be made in empire. So I have no clue wth Dio is on. But it must be good.

1st) Never assume I don't go to 0.0, I have and do.
2nd) You can't break laws when there is none in 0.0. In fact, 0.0 just proves that anarchy is a bad, bad idea.

Back when I was bearing it up, I wish it was still in because then you didn't have to worry about people passing by taking an oppurtintiy kill.

As others say I just forsee us all having to tank lots if solo and wanting to kill at gates
As for belt piracy only way we can really manage is covert ops alts but then they get known and are useless so we go back to tanking...

0.0 isn't anarchy. Alliances have the control of law. People break them day to day. Wither or not they can justify it is not really the matter. Anyways, what does breaking laws have to do with anything? You're not a pirate unless you're near concord or something? More pointless statements 4tw...

You could always hop into a smaller ship (i.e. cruiser/frigate) and learn to use the scanner, rather than using a covops alt to warp your bs gank squad on top of that 10 day old NPC corp caracal
