How do you like your pirates, /tg/?
What sorts of adventures do they go on or scenarios are they typically embroiled in? Is there such a thing as a "good guy" pirate, or are they all rotten to the core? Are they privateers for their patron country, or are they in it for themselves? Is there a difference between sea pirates, sky raiders, sand pillagers or some other variety, or is everything all the same just with differences in aesthetics? Who's the baddest of the bad, and how did they get to where they are?

The most common pirate adventure is the same as many a PC: travel abroad, acquire riches and make a legend. Pissing off authority is a bonus, and with a vessel, the places they can go are vast. The question is how much of those riches they take out of the hide of innocents they pillage from.

In the case of PCs? Drunk, swinging wildly between competent and incompetent, and following a completely contradictory set of morals.

I know it's a cliche, but I'm a fan of the anti-authoritarian assholes with hearts of gold. Generally just pissing off the authority but willing to help out the less fortunate if the opportunity presents itself.

pirates that hold it as core to their identity. happy to chat civilly to captives, have a drink with them, shoot the shit, tell a few good stories, but they'll still be killing you in the morning. Because, they say, you'd do the same to them, given the chance. And they're not wrong.
I also like my pirates in space, with filk/folk/country music

Space/air pirates playing maritime shanties still works, but folk and country work just as well in space.

Everyone talks about the Caribbean pirates and European pirates, but there's not much of a spotlight on Asian pirates. Shit, by many accounts, arguably the most powerful pirate of all time was a Chinese prostitute.

Can you really call them space pirates if they were just angry aliens?
