Yeah it sucks ass.

Technically you can join the pirates without every becoming an undercover cop but they suck anyway and somehow it makes the plot line even stupider. To do this, you need to tell the spook to get fucked. They'll fade to black, tell you in a placeholder text box that you were in jail and a nameless NPC compliments you on "how you handled them" before telling you the german guy has the next quest.

It's all extreme lazy and like... what the fuck is the logic here? How much do they know about what happened? If they just know the spooks dropped you off in jail, you should be radioactive and they should avoid you. If they know for exactly what happened, then how do they not know you're a narc if you go down the other path? Clearly they've got their own spies in there.

Also, you can double cross the cops at the end if you agreed to be a narc. But the pirates capture their flagship and the senior officers. They're going to know you were a narc, how stupid does you character have to be to do this? You're going to get keelhauled.
