@ sdssn!p3r: Yes ... and to clarify something ... pirates don't normally just hang out in NY. There's no profit in it. I actually avoided NY because I couldn't do anything to the traders there. I'd usually sit around in one of the neighboring systems waiting for traders to actually leave NY. And I'd follow a trader around NY hoping he leaves so I can take him on (like I did with that one trader who set me up in California). Now traders are gonna have to work a bit harder for their paychecks.
@ Jinx: And don't forget that New York has the largest population of NPCs.
@ AC_Merc: Yeah ... I'm looking forward to some actual RP in Liberty.
@ Crateria: If a trader continues to trade after you've killed him ... take him out again. Hood's already addressed this and the re-engagement thing does not apply to traders being pirated.
All in all, this is awesome. I found out by pure accident when the =LSF=Kingvaillant shot at me. Kinda through me for a loop when my shields actually went down. So I suspect we'll have a lot of confusion until everybody gets the word that New York is now open for business.
