I had only two times a real "Powertrader" in Front of me, both times a Container Transport...
...on the first time, i flew a small lvl 20 Char, as this Monster rushed along my side, shot one time, killed me in passing, took my minimal-loot and spoke something like "Do not ram me again". Well, i used to fly in a Patriot. No more words need to say. Sweet home NY.
Second(yesterday), again a Container-Transport was in Front of me... ok, this time i sat in a Falcata, armed to the teeth... he attacked me without a word, and refused to speak to me as i mentioned i am not here to pirate, just to fly home... well, maybe he had bitter thoughts against Unlawful cause a bad childhood, who knows...ok, i had noting to loose on a trade-lane, so it may be my own fault. Nevermind.
...both are perfect examples for bad RP of the Trader.
Sure, if you handle the Money-earning by Powertrading like this, you never could have fun.
Another of my Chars is a Pirate in a P-Transport... and i must say, its lot of fun to handle this fatass-ship like the Han-Solo-Character... countless possibilitys when docking/undocking to interact with the people around..especielly in the Unlawful Systems: Yelling about the damn-not-working-Turrets, broken Thrusters,
Heavy machine damage... for example, why not broadcast a machine damage, float dead in space and ask anybody to bring 2 or 3 machine-parts to you, so you can repair the damage and go on woth the flight?
in my Opinion that?s what makes good friends or at least good RP... and its lot of fun one time not to play
a hardened and perfect killing-machine like some popular anime-fans would do.. "I am the best out there and i wanne prove it"...bah!
What about "I am fat, ugly, like my stinking and rusted ship how it is, smoke a good cigarre during repairing this *censured*-ftl-drive....
The pirates like a little rp. I've heard that if you rp good enough they actually LET YOU GO!!
Anyway, powertrading isn't great but trading is boring as hell. Seriously, sometimes i actually get a book and read it whilst i'm in the trade lanes i'm that bored, an if i had a portable DVD player i would use that.
And with the above post, i hope you got screenshots of those traders and had something done about them, personally i never attack pirates because i prefer cargo to firepower, and my new route doesn't have any, but i'm not telling anyone it.
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3

Yet we try to restrain from utterly dominating them with capwhoring.
So what's your point? Should Xenos, whose RP is to destroy all incoming or outgoing cargo, ask nicely for 100k now and then? That makes utterly no sense to their RP. Should they let every other trader go? That doesn't make sense either.
Or should people just not play Xenos because they aren't nice?
