When 4.85 was introduced you had the OP miner ID to pirate haul and mine at the same time like boss untouched. Admins nerfed it after a month or two since 6.10 violations are the hardest one to report and it is almost not possible to report them.
It was a huge mistake but your brought it back in 4.86 for unknown reasons even it proved itself as mistake.
Before first 4.85 updates killed trader dropped as much as it he had in his cargo hold.
In one of the 4.85 updates you reduced it to 3000 units.
I was ok- it is fair to be 3000 units so you cannot take all from the traders, pirate transport have 3400 cargo after all you cannot haul alone 5000 so you effectively killed group cargo piracy- because single P-transp could carry the loot of every transport. And there is intensive to bargain for the trader and pirate since for both is good if the pirate takes 3k and trader stays with 2k instead of nothing.
In 4.85 you nerfed junker cargo piracy in house space- I also abused it I confess and I find it good to do so.
So far so good but...
In 4.86 we got trade run circuits that have 195 cr/s and take only 20 min from Point A to B and back again to A- and the cherry- some are even in the single house - you need to fly 4 systems in ONE House only and one is Capital system- so damn hard to pirate on that routes- and tons of docking places for traders.
- the old Niobium Diamond route looks like noob route now.
Yesterday I hired a miner in Dubin to full my Titanic- I paid him 15 m and he worked less then 10min to full 4780 Gold ore that I sold 10 min later in New Tokyo- even with the money that I paid if you try to calculate the cr/second I am sure I am over 400cr/s.
Meanwhile you nerfed Pirate transport cargo hold and now it cannot even haul the whole dropped loot.:angry:
Meanwhile you nerfed all transports not allowing them to use fighter turrets-
fighter turrets were good balanced for attacking transports(t.e Pirates only who else use transport to attack something? ) because they offered good efficiency but really less DPS and really less Range then the transport turrets- you are not able to kill any snub with fighter turrets on transport but they were effective in piracy.
Meanwhile you buffed the smuggling routes adding retarded smuggler ID that make every lolwut to shoot you because it is written on the ID-
It makes smugglers to avoid pirates and lawfuls and sneakily silent smuggle on their OP trading routes- so one more kind of traders with other name.
So my question is what the hell are you doing?
And why you do it?
Suggestions:
You could at least make the pirate transport with 3000 cargo since now it is useless as hell- you could use other transports for attacking transports with better effect. Same with the Raba- useless. Because you need armour on them- preferably capital one since everything and his dog shoots you.
You could make the transport ships to drop all the cargo that they haul when they die. It will encourage cargo pirates to work in groups in order to pick up the cargo.
You could nerf the trading routes a bit.
Till then I will demand all the cargo of all transports that I find because you broke the balance really bad.
I also urge other pirates to do so too.
I also urge people who trade only and find demands like 10 mill unreasonable not to post here since they are biased.
