Yeah, just report him next time. That was a very reasonable tax.... it is a shame that they will F1 for even that much. I have had traders log for 5 units of cargo before, and not just a few. They just get a must less desireable option the next time.

A pirate asking for 300 mil is a PvP whore. No one in their right mind will pay that (or can, usually), after all you can buy a pair of cruisers for that!

Btw I wanna ask something.There is NO agreed price on how much the tax for a trader is , right ? So doesn't that mean that (yes it is wrong and the person won't like you after that) but if you don't like someone or have bad expirience with him , It isn't illegal to make a ridiculas tax fee only with the purpose to kill the guy?If that is alowed , then that means there is a bench in the rules.Pirates can just kill everyone they like with this.The trader will NEVER pay such a fee and you just kill him,wich is what you want from the start.Am I correct ?

And you know what Eternal? You're spamming my thread about piracy rules and you obviously didn't even read my first post in it, or you would have already seen the post that I am directing you to now, because there is a link to it there.

Spamming....I would gently overlook that.
Seems that making huge demands insn't alowed. Well lets see....Lets start with this.I love to find LEGAL ways 'round any rules thats why I'm gonna do this.
Pirate
Ship - Falcata Border Worlds Bomber
Outcast Tagged
Random trader in a ...say..adv. train.
I'm going to represend my part of the RP.
*Halt *name* !
Doesn't stop (what a surpice , fire CD)
*Now that I have your attention.I kindly ask for you to listen what I have to say and if you do everythink right you will see your family again.*
*I'm second in command *what ever name* of the Outcast syndicate Battleship "Aurora".*
*I'm on a special mission and don't have alot of time , 'cuz there are lawfulls after me"
*My dear captain *what ever* of the best battleship in the Outcast fleet was killed when our ship was atacked by two Corsair Battleships*
*His supreme skills managed to take down one of the enemy ships , but a lucky shot from the second one left our right starborn-fusion chamber burning*
*The exposion badly hurt my captain and his last words before he died in my hands were , to avange him at all costs!*
"We managed , mutilated , to escape from the second battleship and now the "Aurara" is strandet in unfamiliar to me space*
*We managed to find a world were we landet her (the BS) for repairs , but the traders want 50m for a new worp-coil for the fusion chamber*
*I took the responcibility to find the money , becouse we didn't have so much money in our ship*
*Now I request you pay me half the amount , 'cuz I found another trader who paid before you.*
*Now I request you pay me 25m for our coil or I will have to send you to the deepest corner of hell*
Now if I do this , is it still illegal ?

Eternal, I tell you what, if you can manage to say all of that to my trader before I dock at a base, then I'll pay you the 25 million credits.
But I'm not going to tell you what my trader's name is, and if you try it on someone else, you are begging for a sanction if they refuse to pay and you blow them up for it.
Now go back and read what Fellow Hoodlum wrote until it sinks in better.

Well, in my personal traders opinion, If you want me to hear your RP and play along with you, the very least you need to do is CD me. If you have genuine RP I've got the time to listen then, but a traders first instinct should in most cases be evasion, not confrontation. I'm quite happy to RP back with a pirate, but these days all I seem to hear is the gold old variations of '2 mil or die', and then vaporisation before you've finished your RP response! Partly my fault, I should type "Hang on" first more often I guess, but I still rarely encounter any of what I think of as the gentlemen pirates, those who are playing a character rather than out purely as a random callsign out to get cash or kills and they aren't fussed which (although obiously it's more realistic to have SOME like that!).
In a cornered situation I'll pay, escape pods aren't guranteed life savers, and it seems bad RP to assume they are (despite the evidence!). But I really dislike the assumption that Traders should stop if they think they have a chance of escaping. By all means, increase the price you had in mind a little bit for the 'inconvenience' of stopping me long enough to hear that you have RP more than just a demand, but don't assume because I'm trying to run I'm going to say 'I'd rather die!'. Hector would rather HAVE a future to enjoy the money he's making, and he's not going to risk death when he clearly can't escape! But up till then, he WILL try!

If the traders want to have a RP with me , don't go on a wild guess that I can't wright all that and is even shouldn't be the same.If what you say is true , then please tell me what is the point of making such good RP when you don't receive anythink? So all in all if a person can't make this in a RP , then this isn't role play.Why do you asume I would go thrue all the trouble to wright is if I KNOW it wont be rewarded.I read the rules and I read Hoodlum's post and it *sank in* pretty good.But from what I read , If I make such a good RP and I have the reason to ask for the money and it is still not legal , then like I said this isn't a very good planned role play and does I wont do it.Why should I wright a looooong story that will probly take more time from a trader and from me + the trader knows that I can't kill him and he is awear that the minute I finish my RP he can run and there is nothing I can do 'bout it.Then if this is true what RP do you expect from people when there is no point in it.If this were real the trader-pilot will NOT know the rules and will probly pay or run and die.So RP....nah....why not just say like ALOT of people I have seen *2m or you die*.1st its easyer , 2nd its faster for both the trader and the pirat , 3rd-your fingers don't hurt after typing like hell on the old kb just to make a good RP.I have no intention of continuing this arguement , 'cuz I'm clearly out of league here.
