Yes, it does. Even picked off a Serco Sky Prom with it. Well, sort of. We killed each other in a fiery jet of flames. After which i wisely went a different trade route. It works rather well against pirates that try to get money though, since you can just drift in a non threatening manner as if you're typing.

yeah well, proms occasionally have issues getting away from swarms if they're too close (under 30 m).

But I do most of my piracy from a Rev C, and swarms really aren't threatening at all.

I would also like to point out, that most pirates would rather you didnt pay, and the hail is just a courtesy to say *hey, im going to shoot at you!*, sure, if you pay me I will stop, but that isnt going to get me my 500pk badge is it?

*cough* wheres our 1000pk badge and toy?

yeah. where's our 1000pk badge and toy.

/me furiously tries to count to 1000, though he keeps losing it at around 14 because he failed math and can't count.

somewhere along the way of each kid's math learning journey...

you know you're in trouble when your math looks like greek alphabet soup, and you can't remember where the numbers went.

when that happens, please join your local pirate guild for remedy!

/me buys Holden a new Serco arithmetic implant. Stoopid is as stoopid does.

Shape - you ADMIT to pirating in a Rev C? What, do you have minions on standby, waiting in cargo ships? Oh, I guess you may. Hm.

I would like to see a 1,000 PK badge as well so tramshed has a new goal in life. And a 5,000 PK is he's exceeded 1,000 already...

I would also like to see ship accel-o-meters, we can do 0-60 accel times for the ships, and then yoda would be happy. Even better would be a readout on the speed differential between you and your target, time to intercept, etc. I'll post in suggestions but I have a feeling that yoda already has...

Lebermac : Oh that's what that implant I threw away the other day does...that explains it.

Well, If I catch a moth, I get someone to help haul. Or I'll just grab a moth myself at the nearest station.

EDIT:

Oh, and tram has already passed 1000 pk's. And if the next medal is at 5000 pk's I'm rejoining Eo society.
