In the news, Inc said, "we're looking to improve on that a lot, bring back pirates (but much cooler)"

Could we get a dev comment on what makes them so much better (assuming you don't want to keep it private)?

That would be part of the:

"I'll post more next week about our forward direction and more specifics about game changes you can expect to see."

We're still solidifying things on this end.

The pirates sell ice cream to spectators.

I heard they were all going to be wearing leather jackets and sunglasses. Also, they will sell cigarettes to any player regardless of age.

will their hail be "OH YEAH!!!"?

?

It was soon realised that the annual Womens Institute cake icing competition was being taken far too seriously .......

Yeah bring back NPC Pie-rats already (new cooler ones that work, that is). It just isn't Grey Space without NPC pie-rats. You have newbies doing trade missions in Revenants in Grey Space when not enough real player pie-rats are around.

I don't miss them one bit

yea i don't miss them either, last time they destroyed B-8, H2 is a shitty arena, equipment availability in Latos sucks, you have to truck weapons all over the place there.

hmmm...not really, H2 has some nice roids. Like the huge shattered crystal one. And you can get rev c right away : )

H-2 sucks for fighting compared to B-8, mostly because there are way less roids in B-8 so people with low-end computers get decent framerates.

I wonder if they will sing merrily to each other. "A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea!" or "You are a pirate!" would be particularily nice.

And the Rev C is for vpr and newbs :P

Yarr!
