Just curious here, is it possible to be like a pirate kinda player in this game, like in EVE online, where you can attack other players, and loot.

There is some PVE piracy Klingon side - they have a series of repeatable missions in Pi Canis that mostly involve stealing things from Starfleet, and duty officer missions all over the place that involve robbing civilian ships and facilities from just about every other faction. And Starfleet can get into some old fashioned piracy under color of law if you overuse the Inspect Civilian Freighter assignments.
But STO is too artificial for that, and 99% of the playerbase would run from their computer screaming like a little girl if they would be attacked by.
Hence why only 0.1% of the STO players PVP's.
That being said... only 0.1% of players can put up with the way Cryptic coded PvP in this game.....
Was really looking forward to Gozer redoing it.... but he's gone.. so yea... :rolleyes:

Such a feature would be silly.
Single player Pvp :rolleyes:
A federation pirate? A really useful idea and totally Star Trek :rolleyes:.
Next the Klingons will withdraw from battles because they fear the enemy. The Ferengi will donate all their Latinum and build a communistic society. Vulcans will become famous party beasts...
If you want to have such features don't play STO. It makes no sense in this game.

(in other words I am cruising in open pvp space and am attacked by a defiant I vapourise said defiant and it no longer exists (the owner has to pay for it again))
the Attacker should risk everything for the crime of piracy
Orion PIRATES, aren't in STO.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
Keep in mind that some people play this for pure fun in chill mode. Like me... Then someone comes, freely attacks me and steals my loot that i worked to get?
Then i gotta steal it back or steal from someone else right? No way man...no way...
I enjoy the fact that we can raid with the klingons etc.
For example i always figured that WoW story sucked extremely bad...TBC, WOTLK, CATA...there is always a big badass dude that is killing everything in his path not caring what it is and only logical thing to do is to unite at least till those guys die...but nooo horde and ally still kill each other while some 3rd side kills them both at same time...
my point is, star trek story is better then that, more logical and to the point.
Also piracy in Federation???
Orion Pirates? There are some Orion doing this, but not all of them. That is true for the Nausicaan too like in ENT. So i don't get your point. They are both not members of the federation.

and Nausicaans are peaceful space traders, definitly not known as pirates in the Star Trek universe.
Who's asking for federation pirates?
I wouldn't mind it as a crew costume. The mercenary outfit is captain only.
Would fit in with my backstory.
Oh you mean the Maquis?
If the OP meant can you play without faction, no. You are forced to join the Feds just to get the Klingon you really wanted, by then you worked your butt off getting your Fed up to 25 so you really don't want to delete him. Even if you did delete the Fed it won't open a slot for making another Klingon. For $6.25 you can buy 2 more unrestricted slots and make 2 more Klingons.
Excuses, excuses. You just want wenches!
(I do too...)
Where ? I've never seen anything close to being a 'traditional' pirate in ST:O including the Breen in Defera sector. All they do is disable transports and wait around to be killed.
In other games pirates disable your ship then strip it, which doesn't happen anywhere in the ST:O universe that I know of.

What do you mean with a traditional pirate?

My character is ofc technically a Starfleet Officer, but off the record she is dealing in contrabands, making use of non-reglementary equipment, like Borg upgrades. I.e. Flying around in a Ferengi (w/Borg-tech) Marauder doing non-sanctioned Section 31-stuff. At least that is what she calls it when someone gets to nosy, and she can't silence them.
Who knows what kind of interspecie 'diplomacy' she conducts in her private quarters while nobody is watching. She's a hardcore dabo gambler, stealing goldpressed latinum from Ferengi traders, as if it was candy from a kid. Her privat account is filled up pretty good for someone that is supposed to be straight as a newly pressed shirt.
Her eye was recently cut out during a ferocious battle, leaving her pretty face quite scarred. Was it during her her official duties, or somewhere in between? Only Kerayz and a few of her closest crewmembers know for sure.
Kerayz is making well sure that she cannot get in trouble by the sanctimonious Starfleet administration. She has positioned herself as a Vice-Admiral, Section 31 Operative, High-ranking Diplomat on one side, and infamously renown within the shadows of society regarding smuggling, assasinations, etc, etc. Everyone knows that if Kerayz gets in trouble, there will be galactic war throughout dimensions and empires.
:cool:
