' Wrote:Think about it like this: If I take your money, you make no profits, and don't want to come back. No one gets hurt, the KNF has no evidence and can keep turning a blind eye, and the gaijin leave quietly, it's a win-win. Otherwise, I would be destroying the cargo, and that is also a plus, but sometimes us farmers need money too.
No. Pirates generaly ask for say 2 million, cargo is worth say 4 million. Thats at the very least a 2 million profit. So no you arn't doing your "Job" of defending Kusari from the evil forren traders when they will still be making money. If you destroyed the cargo on the other hand, then that would stop traders as if they know they can't get cargo past you then they are less likley to try(Meaning you win).
Quote:I could more than happily take your money instead. Why should I try and take 5,000 Diamonds or Boron when I know I can only take 65 units of it? I would much be much happier just taking money instead.
In most Sci-Fi pirates have a vessel which can carry whatever the ship there raiding is carrying. Pirates should hunt with eather a ship that can hold a decent amount or group up and have one pirate in a transport ship.
Quote:That's just Liberty. When the RM hear about an LWB or Hessian in Stuttgart, they jump on us. I have first hand experience about that matter....
RM doesn't seem to be on loads. At least not when im on my Hessian.
Quote:EDIT: I do believe that the LN & LSF are moving around more. Afterall, who pirates at Manhattan besides Xenos? There is always a Dready patrol right outside...
Iv still to regularly see a LN/LSF which is in a system other than NY.
Quote:A few things, First stop with this "a truck driver wouldn't carry that much money" because one thing alot of people here seem to forget is that we are playing a game, and it is not always possible to make the game fit with the real world.
Yes its a game. But we are playing on a RolePlay server, which means that people should be roleplaying characters in a realistic mannor. Its easy to make the game fit closer to how a Real Life freelancer world would be like, asking for cargo... not hard.
Quote:The real way the Farmers should RP is to demand all trader drop all there cargo and have it destroyed in front of their faces, 25k from their destination....but then we would have a thread about what portion of cargo is allowable in a demand.
All cargo is allowable in a demand. Nothing stopping any pirate from asking for all of a traders cargo, its upto the pirate if he wants to tractor it in or destroy it. Its perfectly within RP to ask for the lot.
Quote:In conclusion, don't tell me how much to ask for when pirating.
Zelot, you may only ask for 5 credits when you pirate:P.
