The new model of piracy is for mother ships loaded with food fuel and arms to wait among fishing vessels miles of shore for days at a time and distpatch speed boats to attack shipping. About 1/3 of the attacks succeed and the ransoms being paid by shipping agents has not been helping the situation. (though with recent publicity many navy's are stepping up pratrols off the Somali coast and pirates have stupidly mistaken various Nato ships as targets.<br /><br /><br />Question is would this style of piracy work in the Frontier- ship hijacted and "anchored" at pirate den till ransome is paid? <br /><br />perhaps at Outer Reach? ship is ported and company needs to pay ransome to get their crew and ship back<br /><br />there's been 3 Dramune Wars to deal with the pirates what political environment would force Space Fleet to not go stroming in guns blazing?<br /><br />What do you all think?<br /><br />
