+----- Thread: [Weekend Event] - The Collaboration (Kus-Sigma-RH) [Completed] (/showthread.php?tid=143482)
RE: [Weekend Event] - The Collaboration (Kus-Sigma-RH) - Internity - 09-23-2016
So, is there anyone who completed this route and made credits without being pirated ? I find it pretty hard to believe. As far as I see, pirates earn everything in this event. The amount of pirates is just ridiculous, like always. You should've called the event: Pirate's Paradise.

I mean Im okay with pirates but seems there charging a bit to much for it.

Well, I was able to complete one flight from Stuttgart to Kyushu and back without being pirated, but it was close, because one junker in NT just did not try to pirate me near Osaka.
I assume most piracy happens in Stuttgart near the jumpgates / Planet Stuttgart or Honshu near the jumpgates.

Errr, the idea of such trading events is to raise the chance for piracy opportunities you know.

The way it is right now, it's kinda wasting the trader's time and I don't find it enjoyable.
Let me explain - EXAMPLE: Trader (X) goes all the way from Kyushu to Stuttgart, wastes a lot of precious time. Once in Stuttgart (if he made it all the way there in one piece, obviously), he gets stopped at the gate by Pirates: A, B, C, D, F and G. The pirates are just standing there waiting to stop them and to earn easy credits by only just camping the spot.
So you actually are trading in order to help the pirates because you won't earn anything if they ask for more credits than you can earn and in the end if you refuse to pay the tax they'll destroy you and sell your cargo. Both ways, pirates just stand there and earn cash. Traders doing the work for them by flying whole universe just to die or not to make any profit.

That is assuming you are a mindless trader.

Wtf is wrong with you people, I haven't been pirated once and I didn't even have an escort. The interactive navmap and your scanners are your friend.

@Internity:
Shall we start a discussion how much time players wasted playing as pirate to see power traders evading them?
Anyway: This is a roleplay server and the opportunity to do roleplay should surpass any monetary profits.

I agree though I have been seeing a lack of RP and more of 10 million credits or die. You know who you are.
