 > Following your declaration of piracy, you must wait the 30 minute wait time as defined in the war rules. After this, you are automatically at war with all factions in the system. People can shoot you and your grids on sight, and you likewise have free reign to attack any faction you wish - with the exception of rules 3) and 4), though normal combat rules still apply (no offline raiding, etc).

-> Pirates attacking fortified military installations makes very little sense in RP and does not fit our vision of piracy for the server. You are free to camp them and wait for unsuspecting ships to arrive/leave, but targeting the stations and their beacons is not permitted.
