A pirate's life for me!

[CyberEagle]

Wanna play as a pirate, but the most pirate-y start, Stranded from Tides of Avarice, gives you a Kyd, which looks like a kind of bad ship to me. Am I wrong? Or should I go with a different start?

[mmmcheesywaffles]

You're a pirate? If you don't like your ship ... go 'find' another.

Don't moan about it ;P

That's actually a part of the mission where you rescue Boso Ta. He leaves it there for you but for some reason the mission doesn't tell you about it. Also the ship location is in the system where you do that mission and the ship model depends on what faction controls the system.

Might aswell get the claimable L ship in Faulty Logic VII

Done right you can claim that Odysseus with all guns and a hold full of mines.

Just be aware that once you start to claim it there will be some troublesome visitors. Don't get caught wandering around the dock of the Odysseus like I once did. It took me ages to escape back to my ship and dispose of those trouble makers.

@waffles

Not main batteries though. You can claim it in your spacesuit.

[DEATHLORD]

you can get main guns already on the ship. Just depends on how the roll was at startup

It can be another system depending on where Boso Ta was triggered. Was Silent Witness I for me

Exactly as I said. Main batteries intact too. It can be done. I took along a good Pilot and transferred to the Ody, then docked my M that I flew there. So my crew were all used on the Ody.

To get the maximum guns etc you need to do the claim personally

Actually, it depends. The game determines the loadout of that Odysseus when the game universe is created. It will have main batteries only if a "paranid" loadout is selected for the ship. If the equipment comes from other factions the ship will not have main batteries at all.

I have only ever seen a Paranid Odysseus.

Does it still spawn the ship on the Stranded gamestart? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Should have spawned in Two Grand afaik.

Also Boso doesn't reimburse me for the ship w/ the antimatter cells that I sacrificed for his quest, not sure if he was supposed to or not but he said he would.

The Kyd is a fine ship - upgrade it. Capture a few Teladi ships (since they're slow af and all have a blind spot), sell them, buy whatever you want. Yer a pirate now Harry!

He gives you some money when he firs tasks you to buy the ship (175,000 iirc)
