The opinion of a n00b on pirating (take cover!)
1. Pirating is easiest in congested areas e.g. Sectors 14 and 15. Usually, there are other people there, who are more than willing to slaughter the pirate =)
2. Running is too easy in this game. Just slap on the turbo and they will have a world of trouble catching you. Slap on a barrel roll and its going to be like taking potshots at a moving 10 meter target at 300 meters while moving at 150 meters per second....which it is!
And on the note of tasteful pirating brought up by MalevolentEvil... How can I bind a chat message to a key? Whenever I warn someone to jettison cargo I feel like theyll get away while I type.

oops, double post
hydro uhh i believe it is /bind <key> <command>
i'm not sure if you can just type the /say blah blah blah in the <command> or if you have to create it as an alias first.

Umm... /team works fine... I've never used /teamsay...
Convoys are a good idea, I've been saying it for ages and I was really pleased to see Gold finally taking up the notion, if only for one night. And I can say for fact that not a single ship bothered us, not even the most annoying pirates.
The problem with convoying and why more people don't do it, is that it's a bit of a nuisance. When you come through a gate, you and your convoy are spread over a 2km radius from the center point... after each and every jump. It's very easy to get lost or left behind. It would be nice if there was some way you can join a "convoy" and have a "convoy leader", so that you could come out of the gates at the same spots they do.
Alternatively, yell at your buddy when they don't wait for you.

You mean like i kept on doing last night when we did the convoy? heheh...
Some people don't understand the concept of "I will take the rear of the convoy". :) (That means I'm the last person through the gate. :D
Oh, I forgot to add to this. As far as the recent rash of new player killing going on. It will be stopped soon. The developers ARE aware of the problem and will be taking care of it. And yes, certain people HAVE already been named to the devs.
