I know CCP has it's hands full with other things, so I'm not really QQing here but I do want to know how will NPC pirates actually be implemented or at least what could the future offer for pirate factions such as the Bloor Raider?
Currently we have little to go on when it comes to pirate factions other than we fight for them in public matches. I feel that we could be doing a lot more with them. I could imagine we run missions with them and lose standing for the factions we're committing these acts on. I could also imagine that pirate contracts would be of a much higher difficulty level than other contracts as well.

..... Well there is plenty of lore on them out there... if you are willing to look.
If people cant even stomach what the regular empires do how could they ever hope to be pirate mercenaries?

If we did serve pirate factions and I can see some very interesting game modes/ mechanics in the furthest darkest reaches of my mind, I suppose we would require a true standing models inclusive of security status, CONCORD presence, etc.
Well technically we all started out as Mordu's legion, though MORDU is really tame compared to the other pirate factions...Sansha Kuvali...that guy is off his nutter, and Blood raiders...eat people. |

I don't think any of us started off a Legion Members and Mordu's Legion is not truly considered a Pirate Faction, they are more of a Mercenary Group......but I guess I'll have to look into that so I can be up to date lore wise.

In closed beta, everyone started out in a pirate faction.
My first character started in Serpentis.
I don't see why we can't have an option to join them again. It would be AWESOME if they had their own type of FW

Well from what I remember not every faction was pirate but there were a lot more factions. I based my character off of the original Sarum Imperial Guard.... but there were cool groups like
Arkombine, Angel Cartel< Serpentis, Nation, etc...much more varied than just empire factions.

I never got around to reading the description of the blood raiser's saga but after reading a fiction piece, I realized their potential. Could be sending us to collect inactive clones.
And I didn't really think of us being able to join pirate factions... That brings a lot more ideas into my head. Aside from the role play aspect, I can imagine that pirate factions would give you plenty risk but lots of reward.

I for one am really interested in one day getting Pirate Faction drop suits.
I like the idea of having to skill into different racial combinations to get some serious perks similar to the method used in EVE.
Example: Gurista Assault might require Lvl 5 CalLogi and Lvl 5 GalAssault. You get a drop suit that has the Cal helmet and Gallente body with a sporty color scheme. For Gurista Assault you get the 5% reduction of CPU/PG per level for light weapons and sidearms as with all Assaults but they get 5% bonus to sprint speed per level and they also get Light weapon, sidearm, and 2 equipment slots. Probably roll with 4/3 slot layout.

Oh and also that being a pirate essentially bars you from High Sec space entirely, especially the larger trade hubs.
So you would have the consequence of not being able to operate in Empire space at all.

Eventually Dust should have these as viable avenues open to us, leaving us with mercenary, assassin, loyalist, pirate, and concord bounty hunter. Mind I'm talking years and if Dust goes that far.
Pirates factions, not being able to take land for themselves could also potentially raid closed PC districts and rob them of isk. As a consequence, we could have a concord faction that specializes in chasing them down.

This is true about land taking but each faction has a home system they could operate out of.

Yeah, I think the penalty might be a problem considering that the majority of the players in Dust don't really know about the complicated side of New Eden.
If there was some type of clean slate system where you could start off with a clean slate but at a major cost, it would be fine.

And while I pity them I don't believe pandering is in order. Players should come to Dust not just for a good shooter, but the "more than that" factor Dust has.
As a Pirate you need to feel like one. This isn't to say you are banned from Pubs, only say limited in certain aspects of High Sec content when such features are developed.

I think i'd be cool if we got Pirate Faction suits down the line...much, much further down the line. Just a little random piece of information, these are the influences behind some of the Pirate Factions Tech:
Guristas Pirates:
Caldari/Gallente
Blood Raiders:
Amarr/Minmitar
Angel Cartel:
Gallente/Minmitar
Serpentis:
Gallente/Minmitar
And then other Factions Include:

When you say it like that, yeah that makes sense. Pirate players not being able to access High-Sec trade hubs and having to go to black markets, probably being banned from FWs, and other aspects where standings matter.

I always wondered who influenced each pirate faction. Thought the Gallente were pretty "clean" because I didn't see anything specific but at the same time that didn't make sense.

Not influenced as in backed up by or supported but I'm saying these pirate factions took Races x tech and Races y tech and made their own ship.

Either you didn't read the reply to that, or you misinterpreted what I said just like he did.
The races I put with each faction are the skills that you have to have to fly a pirate factions ship. (hence why I said influenced tech I.e. based on. i.e. Mega blocks being based on Legos i.e. I can't simplify it any more for you to understand.)
Example: To fly a Stratios (A Sisters of EVE Ship) you have to have Gallente and Amarr skills.
Plain and simple. I did not say these were the origins of the Pirate Factions themselves.

From the book Mordu's legion is in charge of distribution of Dust Tech.

Currently we have little to go on when it comes to pirate factions other than we fight for them in public matches. I feel that we could be doing a lot more with them. I could imagine we run missions with them and lose standing for the factions we're committing these acts on. I could also imagine that pirate contracts would be of a much higher difficulty level than other contracts as well.
I would love to see a blood paint job on a suit and I would like it more if the suit was different than the standard.
I have a blood legion suit, after work I will see if I can find a picture of it for you. |

I am a bit of a collector in these types of games so I try to pickup these kinds of suits when they are offered. |

Would be pretty cool if done like EVE faction ships but for suits and vehicles(when they do fully come out)
Needing Minmatar Assault 5 and Gallente Assault 5 to get into a Serpentis Assault Dropsuit.
Then the Sansha, Blood raiders, Angels and Guristias option aswell.
Could be really cool for end game content. |

And I didn't really think of us being able to join pirate factions... That brings a lot more ideas into my head. Aside from the role play aspect, I can imagine that pirate factions would give you plenty risk but lots of reward. Oh and also that being a pirate essentially bars you from High Sec space entirely, especially the larger trade hubs. So you would have the consequence of not being able to operate in Empire space at all. Yeah, I think the penalty might be a problem considering that the majority of the players in Dust don't really know about the complicated side of New Eden. If there was some type of clean slate system where you could start off with a clean slate but at a major cost, it would be fine.
Lol quite a few don't even know what eve is.
They should be taught as they watch their clone grow in a tank.

Indeed you bring up a fantastic point.
Most people don't know or care what EVE is.
And they need to. EVE/ Dust Link however small it is now, is a core feature of the game, understanding that these mercs you are shooting are within EVE is crucial to the games atmosphere.
Dust should convey with each battle a wider context, when you go into ambush you actually are ambushing, perhaps and initial deployment scheme could create that idea, or a contextual voice over pre battle as you fade in from a back screen.
Perhaps when you play a skirmish match you feel as though, yes this entire battle is one small skirmish of a planetary invasion force.
Its small details like this which could really spice up and make gameplay that extra bit more impressive.

Agreed, but some of them don't want depth. They want a lobby shooter lol.
Had some guy tell me eve is a lesser game and that the dust community shouldn't have to cater to eve players who can't handle shooter mechanics.
Something has to be done. They're just downloading the game because it's free, picking a random race based on a short video and have no idea what they're getting into. This game needs a proper intro imo that can't be skipped. Like the butterfly effect trailer from eve.
explain the eve gate, the races, the way the world works, introducing the new technology that makes us possible as an immortal soldier and introducing them to a small group of players, they squad up, move onto another march within a Corp into am alliance conflict with eve support supporting you as you fight to capture a planet. The whole sandbox, ripple flowing outward affecting everyone schtick. |

I feel like it'd be a lot easier for a low security status Merc to enter High sec since we can just ship our undeployed clones and equipment then have our consciousness transferred.
That and Eve Pilots could smuggle us like they do Drugs and other illegal trade goods.

I personally never got to finish Brotherhood so I'll have to stick with Orignal since it's the only one I've seen all the way through.
Which is my favorite anime by far.
Also you got the Theme song stuck in my head, not sure which one.

I like how a thread about Pirate Factions got changed to FMA next up is Dark Souls 2.
Which is pulling my soul away from Dust, twisting it and then molding me into a Dark Souls 2 fan for the rest of time.

It's the 'Covenant' C-I.
Came with the Veteran pack as well as a 'Covenant' Sniper Rifle and a 'Blood Raiders' Saga.
Which is practically identical to the Ishukone Watch one.
