Maybe we should think about a new, Sirius-wide agreement from the official Pirate/Unlawfull Factions about how many money is asked for while a taxing...
My thoughts on that:
A: a trader, pretty new, with a Civilian ID and a small ship (above lvl30)
- when taxing!!!, a small amount of up to 5% of the cargo in hold
B: a trader, with Trader ID and medium sized to large transports
- a amount up to 50% of the cargo hold, as a gerneric trader ID normally means, the full profit of the trading runs is for the traders income
C: a trader, with a Faction ID (like RGS, IC, Gateway, Kishiro, Samura, ALG,... etc)
- a amount belonging to the ships size and up to 25% of the cargo in hold, as a factions ID means, the trader is just an employee and coulnt hold his traded profit all for his alone.
A trader carrying a Faction ID (with proper ship, IFF, some acceptable rp) should have a chance to obtain a "Pirates License", saving him from being pirated by this faction for a brief time.
- maybe up to 15mill for 12hours passage
- ONLY FOR FACTION TRADERS
Independent traders (generic Trader ID) could be taxed everytime they cross the pirates way, without a chance for the "Pirates License"
//edit: D: Traders using any kind of ID (Civilian, Trader, Faction) hauling stuff through a guard system without permission from system-owning Faction are KoS WITHOUT WARNING
//edit: E1: Traders using any kind of ID using smileys or any other, as it is called 'oorp/ooc' (like ;) / :P / u for you / thx, pls for thanks, please / lol, rofl and such) in system chat before, while and after the demand was made by the pirate are KoS AFTER A WARNING E2: Pirates using smileys or any other, as it is called 'oorp/ooc' (like ;) / :P / u for you / thx, pls for thanks, please / lol, rofl and such) in system chat before, while and after the demand was made by the pirate is to be reported to the pirates faction leaders and fined by his faction
I think, if "Unlawfull-Factions" will agree, we could get some better RP to all the Traders out there, which just runs for making money for their capital ships.
So we can stress up the 'Hardcore-Powertrader' and give the Faction-Traders a better reponse to their hard work outside in space...
I would like to have all "Unlawfull-Factions" Leaders or their spokesmen to share their thoughts on that...
(//please to all others; no spam, no senseless posts and no 'kindergarten', no trials in this tpoic)
Too complicated. More "rules for Pirates".
The red text hurts my eyes.
I'm still going to pirate what I feel is necessary at the time.
I know some people do a ratio thing,
but thats not my MO.
That and...
I dont think you will ever get better RP from
traders who dont want to part with their money.
And the "agreement" will only be useful and known by those who come to the forums.

...probably they become better if they are taxed without mercy and for a higher amount then the 'Faction-Trader' next to them, and probably they meet the same trader again while they are taxed again and the 'Faction-Trader' not
...and there is a hint on your screen while you are playing Discovery that says the Discovery-Forums adress,... and you can read the posts and also the rules even without registration...
--> when they don't care and don't come to the forums even for just reading then they have to take the consequences
1) DO NOT pirate a civilian cause you can't kill him
If his level is 40 or above, let him pass and report him the second time you see him with this ID. (the fine from admin will be higher than all taxes you will ask)
2) I can ask 500k for a 5M cargo, some traders will not pay and finally die. The only thing who differs with RP/OORP traders is when they pay or not.
3)

Will never work. People don't RP pirates. As iv stated in the other thread, criminals do not extort a driver and leave 50 grands worth of PC's in the back of the truck. So they would never do it in FL if it was real.

No. If you ever watch any Sci-Fi you will find that most independent transports don't make alot of money and they have to constantly trade in order to stay alive. Its not a luxurious job, its just a way to make ends meet.
There is no rule on taxing, fining and thats how will it always remain.
its up to pirate / faction / police.
I got taxed 8mil and all my artifacts destroyed when i went trough RM space. Alot of people would pretty much rather die then.
face it, its all about rp. If you don't value your life 5mil when a pirate asks you, i'ld feel pretty ashamed after i hit that respawn button.
I'm glad that I don't play a pirate. Trade interdiction as a Xeno is much simpler. Either the target drops all their cargo, or they die. It get's destroyed either way. It's up to the target to decide whether their cargo gets destroyed with their ship still wrapped around it.
