Pirate Ships

Post by sq_paradox »

Has someone or could someone make the Pirate ships buyable at Anarchy Port. They have to come from somewhere don't they?

Also I think Pirates should be seen in Teladi ships as well as there own. It is said many many times that the Teladi ships are the only ones the pirates can buy, also if you look closely you can see that the orinoco is a modified falcon.

I think that refers to the Teladi-built "Pirate Ship" that you used to be able to buy in XT. I think it's actually the Xenon TS, by the looks of it. Unfortunately you could only pitch and roll in it. no yaw. 'twas kinda annoying.

:D Yea!! Someone Actually cares!! I was begining to wonder if I would ever get a reply.

And actually the mentions of the pirates using teladi ships I was refering to are in the Teladi ship descriptions.

In the Falcon description it says "It is suspected that some of these ships have been leased by the Teladi Company Space Fleet to operate on behalf of the pirates, although to date no actual proof of this agreement can be established."

And in the Vulture description it says "It is also believed that a number of these transporters have been supplied to the Pirates that operate throughout Teladi sectors in exchange for unknown preferential trading services."- this one is not spoken by the computer, it is only in the text in the corner.

It is nice to know abou that ship from XT, as I was never able to play it. :)

Ah yes, I see what you mean. hehe they do look disturbingly similar, don't they? :P


Sadly I have yet to reach Anarchy Port. Though it sounds like a nice place. Might set up some Cartel business there. :D

could someone tell me please what "Anarchy Port" is ? I have the german version, so perhaps it has just a different name, but where is it ?

It is supposedly the King Pirate Base. I been to one myself, but they did not let me in. Apparently they were too scared of my Teladi Condor.

Loomankstrats legacy.

It's the one that looks like the paranid trading station.

It's hostile by default, you have to hack it to be able to dock.

hmm I wonder... guess you're right on that. Makes me wonder, I guess the option of making stations friendly again but guess that was never added, but there is a relation between player and pirate. I guess trading with pirate stations improves that rating... but what if all pirate stations are hostile already... does shooting down khaak and xenon help the players pirate relation?

In my Mod the pirate ships are buyable. Not at the Anarchy Port, but in the new station in your "homesector" after you finish the missions.

i started working on it a bit, but does someone know if the Anarchy Port will reproduce the ships itself if you add them ?

:D Thank you, thank you, thank you. :D

Now if only someone could make the pirates use a few teladi ships... but thats not really important its mostly for asthetics, and I don't want to take up anyones time they could be spending on things they care about more.
