friends with pirates?

I have been shooting up all kind of nations, with a jolly roger hoisted, but the pirates are not friendly to me.
How do I become friends with them?
 
Go to Nevis or Grand Turks (watch out - Grand Turks has a fort!) and speak to the "governeur". They set your status to neutral for the pirates. When you sink ships it will even increase, but as far as I know, there are no ranks and presents you can earn

Actually, there IS some stuff coded in there. Even if I don't think it was intentional that you can do that. :wp
 
Does Turks now have a actual governor character who promotes you? There IS this code in place for that:
Code: 
        case PIRATE: // Apparently used by Sao Feng, the Turks governor in the Jack Sparrow storyline
            switch(GetRank(pchar, GetCurrentLocationNation()))
            {
                case 1: // Unknown Freebooter

turks has a governor, but he only can make you neutral to pirates. He is like a diplomat only for the pirates. I don't know what happens on Nevis because the pirate lord got killed in the last fight with the Sovereign :D And the one who replaces him won't talk (Pieter, I think you fixed that, but I haven't tried it yet)

Hmm, must be ONLY Sao Feng in the Jack Sparrow storyline then.

No, I didn't. It's on my long-term to-do list.
 
ah okay.
But I'm 100% sure that the standard-story has a governor on turks. But, as I said, he only has a function as diplomat
 
I most certainly believe you. It's the same on Tortuga.
In the Jack Sparrow storyline, though, he's replaced with Sao Feng, who is an ordinary governor. For the PIRATES.
 
I can't say something about that, I only played Jack Sparrow 2 times and I only played it for the story - so I didn't do much sidequest and things ;)
But I found in items_ini.c some pirate-related swords which are very strong - I think they were intended to be a present for cruel pirates:pirates

Requires quest-coding. I pretty much know how to do it. I just don't want to do it before getting Pirate_KK's code working in the game.
If I ever get round to that; that's a biggie. o_O
