Pirates Killing After Pirating

[Derkylos]

If you can kill the trader after they have payed, they have no incentive to pay in the first place, and all piracy encounters will change from "2 mill or die" to "Die"...

Let me make this clear. No you cannot. It's sanctionable under the PVP abuse rules.

see above.

And by the way, neither side wishes that disgusting feeling in their guts after someone does this.
I would be disgusted by my performance if i were to molest each passing player foolish enough to trust me,
wouldn't you feel the same?

If such a thing were allowed, it would be pointless to bother with any engagement rules at all. Would basically be the same as giving all unlawfuls a Terrorist ID, and that wouldn't be good for anyone.

This may not be very nice, but pirates aren't nice people

Said who?

Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

I have recently met and discussed with Atalawohisdi the trader that flies the Caribe. Just so everyone knows, I engaged in Sigma 13. He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.

He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.

- Best day ever.

No, no, no, no, and NO!

If they refuse to pay, THEN you can blow them away.

You can take them to 0.0000001% hull before making a demand (very annoying though), and you'd be fine.

Can't kill a trader without making a demand and having it refused.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

They'll just prefer to die next time, rather than paying. And whoever does does that kinda crap, killing after getting paid, should be shot in the head.

After you fleece a sheep why shoot it in the head?
