There needs to be a limit on how much Pirates can demand....

[SeaFalcon]

I pirated a miner for 2 food rations yesterday night

May the hard working force in the mining fields suffer from a shortage of food ^^

I needed food so.

We just need some more respect for other players,
Some people simply have none which leads to these insane high demand.
Althought I lose my respect in some traders/miners when they keep pushing cruise.
which leads to ultimate death and destruction.

That's why something must change - if there it will be max amount set to 500k - peple will stop running like hell when they see pirate, it will delete a problem of "X-amount M or dieee" it will delete all pirates who do this for get rich - and left only few lolwuts and many pure RP-ers....

or some sort of tabel of prices depending of ship class, and cargo -
so let say Camara with food leave them be, but Camara with some ore - 100k?
BWT with food - 100k, with some ore - 500k?

And all trader just transfer cash without a word before the pirate could even stop the transport, Which doesn't make sense. -.-

500k is to low...
And rules for limits about ship/commodity is to complex.
Because not everyone has 2 screens to check the limits while taxing.

i think that 500k is ok...

probably transports / miners will still try to eskape, and barging - but it will be fun.

That would be the most logic way imo. Although if you're catched with gold ore onboard, it doesn't mean that you had it the run before too, so you may not be able to pay as much.

I've been asked 3 milons while in my Camara once.

Absolutely not. Piracy is as valid a way of making credits as trading, and if the pirate isn't one of the "10mil or dai" breed, it's a damn sight harder to make a living through it than trading is.

Tell you what, how about we restrict what traders can earn on a run. Say 500k tops, whatever the cargo, for an adv train, with decreasing amounts dependant upon the size of the transport.. How does that sound? Does that make you feel all rosy inside? You happy to agree to that happening? Somehow I doubt it. So why do you expect that of the pirates?

There are good and bad pirates out there, just as there are good and bad traders. Learn who the bad ones are and avoid them. Learn how to avoid all pirates in the first place. Hell, in three years here I've been caught by a pirate once, and that was because I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. Of course, avoiding pirates takes work, rather than just clicking on the Dock icon as each trade lane is approached, but that's a small expense in exchange for arriving safely at your destination.l

My Stories

Ever played Vanilla?
Ever had the biggest freighter possible?
Its the dromedary 275 cargo...
You get taxed for 200k when you got cought most times.
And we have 5k transports, 500k just is way to low.

I'll say it again...
Traders won't waste a 10mill load for 500k and wouldn't care for being pirated 4 times on 1 trip which doesn't happen often.
Really they are just.. oh pirate /givecash pirate 500k bye now.

I was thinking more about 10mill limit.

so maybe something like that:

very hard work - sit at one place and shout "10m or dieee" like many pirates do - no matter what somebody fly, or what the cargo is... my statment is that trades and miners is supose eran many money - and pirate characters schould not be created to earn more money than traders or miners - becouse we finish with server where will be no traders - no police...
If You decide to play as pirate You schould do it becouse You want some fun - not to earn milion of credits...
for instance I play as military, and that is hard - becouse I do not earn ANY cach in it, only on some misions or for kill some wanted pilot.
