It's up to traders/miners to take initiative and force pirates to team up.
I do believe you are missing the point both casero and myself are making. It is a rather simple point:
Cruisers with cruise disruptors can solo pirate rather well because they can stop transports from fleeing with their CDs. We're asking for cruisers to lose their disruptors. This will force those who wish to pirate with cruisers to also bring alone a person with a CD. Thus, just as traders are forced to use team work to reach maximum effectiveness, so are pirates.
This request swings both ways. Cops and military cruisers will also have to have company to effectively stop smugglers and such.
