Traders destroying their cargo when pirated

[Tachyon]

Well if pirates are too stupid to fear for their life then traders are too

It's not like pirates are too stupid, sometimes, they just don't see, or have (any more), an alternative other than to do so.

Traders, which are usually employed by companies, which usually employ intelligent people, are, in contrast, able to live a life with many opportunities in life without putting their live in danger (except for the fact, that space is dangerous by default).

So, no, don't blame stupidity.
