When the Pirate Lord McCormic was finally hunted down and killed, there was no sign of the vast treasure he acquired during his long career.
Treasure hunters have been searching throughout the Human Quadrant for decades, trying to find the location of McCormics treasure.
It is rumored that his vast fortune was stashed away in two seperate deepspace stations, so that even if one was discovered, his fortune would not be totally lost. However, the stations are getting old and slowly degrading, so the time in which to locate his secret stash is dwindling.
The hunt for his lost treasure trove continues to this day...
------------------------------------------------------
The Challenge:
Find the two Stations on which McCormic has hidden his booty, and destroy them both, before they self destruct.
The stations are easily recognised by the name "Pirate Station", and being on the Pirate faction in MV.
It is estimated that there are about 18 days remaining before the treasure is lost forever.
The Rewards:
For each station destroyed, the player(s) responsible will receive a total reward of 10 million credits, 1000 bonus prestige, and 10 ships captured.

Being Pirate Stations, they would naturally be on the Pirate faction...
Let me ask you a question:
If you were a pirate, without the abilty to build your own station, where would you go to get one?

Information on what they would look like might be helpful to some degree...
As in, since they're stations, are they UGTO/ICC/Kluth models? Though, I can hope they they have defences...l33t defences....might make it more interesting.

Trying to hide a station within a star would be bloody stupid. Although, it would be funny watching everyone die while trying to jump to them...

i really hope they are SOME place reasonably findable over a period of time and not just located in some random point in the vast void of the MV, because that could well be impossible to locate with a sight range of only 5k gu and an MV that is roughly 5million gu X 5million gu.

Hmm, I seem to recall seeing something about 18 days somewhere in the original post.

I thought this was a reference to someone's large bottom.
