Oh so you like to be popular too?
Not popular. But infamous can be fun. Though I doubt I will be doing much to make me infamous in the early game. That is going to be mostly research and upgrading my ships.
I a newbie here. I am still learning the game. But I have noticed quite a bit of complaining about piracy. Without knowing too much here it my viewpoint. It sounds to me that the game is actually a lot like it would be in real life should this sort of situation ever occur. Colonies, Mining Stations, Space Stations and Cargo Ships would likely be the targets of outlaw pirates who are just trying to survive and make money by pirating those weaker then them. Just like Pirates did in the early days of America and just like some pirates out there still do today. It is my understanding ships in orbit can protect planets. So why can't the corps who actually want to do mining band together to protect one another by deploying ships to help protect one another? Though I do understand for free players this might be difficult with the 3 ship limit. Personally I hope that limit is eventually lifted or at least raised. This would make protecting a planet a little easier. Though of course pirates could also take advantage of this. Though I think most pirates would just leave the heavily defended planets alone and go looking for easier prey. Hopefully in time what imbalances exist in the game will be fixed. In particular with planets vs ships. I wouldn't say the space station vs ship though since all a space station really is, is a big spaceship that can't really move. It might be able to hold out for a while. But unless you get it repaired right away, it is likely to be attacked again before too long and be destroyed.
Also I noticed the pirate bashing going on in the game. I understand hating them. But don't judge someone a noob because they choose to play the game one way or another. Clearly the game was designed to be played multiple ways. If you want to be a miner that's fine. If you want to be a transport ship thats fine. If you want to be a cargo ship answering distress calls that is fine. If you want to be a raider/pirate that is fine. Hell if your wanting to help protect people from raiders/pirates that is fine. A noob will do a horrible job regardless of which way they choose to play but a skilled player will find a way to do well.
That is what I am doing more or less. I have played plenty of browser games. So I know some of the what I should do and should not dos on some things. So far I got to say I am liking this. I already got in mind what kind of player I am likely to be. Though I am liable to make enemies in the process.
