Traders destroying their cargo when pirated

[Ursus]

to Ursus: I dont see why pirate will pay to Smuggler for goods.

I'm actually in favor of cargo piracy. It's close to a fair fight, which is more than can be said for typical cau8 gunboat pirates or nova-bomber pirates.

The spcific comment was in response to the claim that traders shouldn't value the cargo highly--if life was so precious then pirates wouldn't be risking it for junk cargo either, they would hire a smuggler instead. Fact is nobody values life in this game and that is the way it should be. It's crutch RP to think it should be important for traders and then ignore it for everybody else.
