There's no need to patrol the system per se, just to escort cargo ships, actively hunt pirates in their hiding spots, investigate claims from space faring citizenry, etc.
It still would be a risky and tiresome task. Let's say a cargo ship gets attacked by space pirates: first of all, you are possibly light years away from help, secondly, there are millions of potential hiding spots for pirates in the galaxy. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
You might as well tell us to give up on crime today! Back then, the waters were indomitable. But through time, oceans began to recede back into stability as warships took to the seas. Just like with the Wild West, the great authority of the Space Police Force shall tame the unruly and short-term hedonistic criminals within the final frontier of space! Besides, we'll get cooler ships: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
i would hope if we became space pirates we would look like this. http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/heat/450/zeo.jpg and we'd each fly around in appropriately coloured versions of these babies http://www.c0d3m0nk3y.com/images/gallery/thumbs/400/ship-old.png
I kind of like the idea of space cowboys. Just like the wild west only much much bigger and more wild.
Eh, we might as well recreate the entire human civilization at a cosmic scale. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Great plan. And if we find life elsewere as we go...what shall be their destiny? Just integrate their lifestyles and them into our own lifes.
But what kind of pirates would we be if we didn't burn down a few villages and terrorize a few pretty women says I!
Pirates of the Space Pirate Force! Code no.5 of the Space Pirate Force 1) No killing, unless attacked and threatened first From book found by the Space Pirate Force, women of alien worlds employ poisonous chemicals to kill their attackers and rapers...their vaginas have teeth, their lips have drops of cyanide...

Is it code number 5,or number 1? :shrug: You have it listed as number five, but numbered as number 1. I'm so confused!:bawl:
