Seriously, dude? Your complaining that a ship that kicked the crap out of everything got balanced? The ptrans is still an offencive nightmare to other transports, and solo piracy is supposed to be difficult. You want to haul the entire cargo? get a buddy.
From your entire post it sounds really like your only goal in pirating is to ruin the other persons day, so placing a balance argument based on that seems kind of assinine.
I hate players who make it personal. This is a videogame. If killing you and stealing your ore "ruins" your day, then honestly you need to get away from the computer and go develop a real life. Players like Lunaphase are the exact reason why Devs will continue to keep a tight leash on OORP mechanics, because they don't want the "invested" players to have a negative experience even if the roleplay demands such interaction.
The people who make it personal are a plague to the roleplaying environment. Stop making it personal. The idea that the mod should be biased towards lawfuls/neutrals is absolutely ridiculous especially when so much of the lore demands otherwise. This thread is not about the pirate transport or about ID's, it is about the blatant bias being shown towards players who pridegame and refuse to accept penalties when they meet opposition.
People will always cry and complain every single time the universe tries to punish them. YOU ARE NOT YOUR CHARACTER, LET YOUR CHARACTER SUFFER AND STOP MAKING IT PERSONAL. Stop making it personal when you get pirated or when something happens to you that isn't in your shallow "plan."
