Making friends with pirates?

S

Spontz

Landlubber
Greetings,

I've been trying to find a way to get on better terms with the pirates, and the method eludes me. I started a game as a pirate, but if I take a letter of marque after that, the pirates will hate me... and I can't seem to buy them off the way I can the nations.

Is there any way to convince them they're my friends again, after I enter a nation's service?

Where may one find these previous posts? I asked again because the only response the last time this question was asked was from someone who thought it was an interesting question and also wanted to know the answer.

The manual tells me that I can, if I talk to the right person, get a nation to forgive me for whatever I've done to it, for a price. I've spoken with the guy in the Isla Mona tavern, but he only offers to get the English, Dutch, French, and Spanish to forgive me; never a word about the pirates.

It's possible I missed something in the manual. It isn't terribly well-organized, and much of it is incorrect. But I have looked through it several times, and I see nothing about making the pirates like me. Nations, traders, and smugglers, yes, but not the pirates.
 
Nosie, dis be a friendly forum an' as such ye kin either help people out or ye kin jus' choose not tew answer if'n ain't inclined to help out! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Udderwise, dis "go search de forum" stuff prolly really ain't a necessary nor polite response, matey! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> Be keepin' it friendly, matey! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

BTW, Spontz, Fred Bob be thinkin' ye be askin' a good question an' sure be interested in reading the answer when someone who knows it or can find it out posts one! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
as far as i know there's no other way to be allied with pirates than followin' the main quest story. Ya can make peace w all nations except the pirates <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
If ya'll follow the main quest then... ya'll be a pirate so... ya won't need a alliance with them <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

If the main quest makes you a friend to all pirates, then I suppose that will have to do. I just wish I could keep my friend-of-pirates status whilst working for the various nations. That way I could infiltrate them and learn their secrets without having to sink my pirate brethren's ships. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

By the way, what happens if you kill your sibling at that first meeting?

Best way tew find out be tew save yer game jus' befer speakin' wid Beatrice an' check all de posibilities: 1) Kill her an' keep all Pa's treasue, 2) Let her live but split de treasure an' no Libertaria, or 3) Join forces! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Thar may be a few more subtle possibilites, but all except 3) cut de Main Quest short an' ye be left wid runnin' errands! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
Ahoy thar Laddies, I been givin this ere thread some thought, an yes that is what ye smell burnin!

When I am out and about on the high seas....I get chased by every Pirate on the map! My rating on my Career Menu says clearly that the Pirates hate me! BUT!!! whenever I go to that Pirate Island....the ships there are friendly enough with green triangles under there bars, the people on land are grumpy, but then their lines in AOP leave alot to be desired, not like POTC with the Build. But I cant see the Pirate leader, but everyone else is excessable, so the shipsyards and store respond favorably. It is almost as if, yes their ships are our natural targets in the game, but the actual colony does not hold us responsible for this, and continues to be friendly. I mean try to sink 8 or 9 Spanish ships and see how far you get with Keeping Spain friendly??

I wondered about the main quest with those choices. I tried saving just before the meeting and killing her, but it didn't give me a clue about whether or not there was an alternate main quest.

The other thing I wonder is what sort of nation this "Libertania" will turn out to be, considering it will be made up entirely of cutthroats, thieves, looters, rapists, and murderers of the worst description. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
