Hey you filthy savages that cling to the mercenary name, why aren't there any pirate corporations in Dust 514? We have pirates in EVE Online and they add a whole level of depth to the game. Most certainly we can have pirates, no? Corporations that rip a district from your cold corporate hands and sell it to the next buyer or someone willing to buy it. They could even build up the clones for a while and then sell them before actually selling the district to get extra money.

I can think of one deterrent...a costly engagement with a bigger corporation such as....The Generals of the Eon alliance. Well pirates are the filthiest of you filthy savages so they can exploit someone else's engagement with The Generals and strike at the opportune moment to take land from them and make a profit by selling to another corporation, building up clones to sell it(if they get the time to do so), or reach over to grab a nearby district for an even bigger profit. It sounds like an extremely fun career path for a mercenary and possibly a lucrative business if done right.

We need some actual trouble makers and evil-doers. I, sadly, do not have the heart for it however I'm sure there are a many mercenaries who are more than okay with doing it.

Because this is an fps and not some mmo on the pc

Pirates would be good but apart from the aforementioned district theft there is not really much a pirate could do at the moment sadly.

MMO is kinda what I signed on too, just saying

My point was that dust is its own game. Gets tiring watching guys try to turn dust into eve. I remember reading one dude saying that "deception and treachery will be determine the outcome of the war"...the LOl/Eon war. And I'm thinking...this isn't eve! Wins on the battlefield will determine the outcome of the war.

Obviously Dust is it's own game and people know that but a lot of us came here for a MMO FPS that shares some elements... I'm personally tired of overdressed clans being called corporations when they should actually be corporations who influence the market and try to gain income... But all we have are corporations who want to be king of the hill.

Who said there aren't those types of corps?

I do. It's what everyone, save a few(Dust Uni and Militaries Sans Frontieres). If you ask the majority of corpotatuons(small corps included) they won't have a solid idea if what they want to do in Dust. Gain districts? Sure but what's after that? PC, from my perspective, is to be a stepping stone into bigger meta game and economic activities.

Edit: my examples of non-clan corporations is not limited to those two corps,

Are you saying what kujo pulled wasn't deception or treachery. It was brilliant what he did.

Pirates are coming soon tm. The ability to raid a district is being worked on by ccp. Doesn't allow you to flip it ......

It wasn't intended. He didnt seek out to leave HS and take ISK. He felt wronged and did what he did. From what I understand, it wasa the losses given by TP that started to make the ship sink.
