[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] I don't think modern pirates operate in the yo-ho-ho way anymore. They usually slip onto a merchant vessel using Zodiacs or other fast, small boats under cover of darkness, put off or kill the crew, disquise the ship, and pilot it to a corrupt port to sell the goods or transfer it to another ship. Where's the romance? Large merchant ships have such small crews that piracy is easier today. Also, your insurance company advises you not to resist. So, depending on your SF paradigm, Trek piracy might be like the 18th century Pirates of the Caribbean or the 20th Strait of Malacca. [/QB][/QUOTE]
