First off, that heist would have never been able to happen if it weren't for my crew, i rely on them, do you think the Savelites would have just invited me? no. I had an inside person on it, in fact i may have had more than 1, but it's not something i'm gonna discuss at length, because that ruins one of the elements of my crew, just because i put myself out there doesnt mean i dont have people aiding me, it's just in MD you can't just come in and say "look at me! I'm a pirate give me your loot!" it won't work, you need an element of disguise, and anonimity... I am sorry you don't think my crew is doing anything to be active, but to be honest they are being much more helpful the way they are, since there is no "steal" option that one can execute without formulating a plan, and knowing a few people. Piracy in MD as it currently is is something that requires a bit of finesse to pull off, especially if you have announced yourself publicly as a pirate...
Also my crew is multi-faceted in their own right, and as individuals i do not require them to run around going "yarr" and "we be scurvy's give us your loot" i find it a bit ridiculous to not allow one to adapt as they wish, all i ask is that they have a desire to help the crew, and have a desire to improve themselves, and the alliance as a result, as i do, and will continue to.
