Thanks for the confirmation.

If it's requested I can add another check for this situation, and let them have proper piraty names.
I quite like the fact a ship could have a misleading name. It makes it seem a bit more realistic, pirates trying to cover their activities. Otherwise if you were a Galcop Police ship and you saw a ship called 'The Jolly Rodger' you're going to know this is a pirate vessel, without even checking the legal status of its commander.
Specially with the pirate coves, they should get (keep) the misleading name. The whole pirate cove is mimicking the rock hermits. If you want to change something, the pirate coves should be handled as rock hermits. Now they become noticed because you don't rename the rocks like you do with the real hermits. :)

Another detail I missed by not using Pirate coves.oxp. Thanks for the heads-up.

You think? :wink: :lol: (It was actually one of the very first names in my very first draft of randomshipnames.oxp.)

'Rodger' or 'Roger'?

I've got fake names from [Wikipedia] Captain Pugwash (Libel case - [ wp= ] doesn't like '#') dancing through my head at the moment.

'Roger' in case of the OXP. (Seems to be the usual spelling.)

I thought it was Roger, but when typing or writing things out I always assume that if I think it looks like I spelt it right I probably didn't and change it... :oops:

I wouldn't have them any other way :D
My god, that's some funny schtuff right there. But clean pirates are a great idea.

I only figured out that I could be as nasty as I'd like as long as no Galcops were around within the last couple months :lol:

They would only fire on you if no GalCops are present within their scanner range, and would immediately cease fire as soon as the cops show up, ensureing that they maintain their clean status. If you're not alert, you could find yourself with an Offender tag even though you were simply defending yourself.
Awesome idea! This would be great fun! :lol:

Hope someone implements that!
