' Wrote:However, I cant disagree more strongly with things said by Spoiled. Pirating trains is not practical in a fighter. They do not have the fire-power to intimidate, or if necessary destroy cargo trains singlehandedly. Trains escape while you are typing demands, or desperately trying to scratch their hulls even slightly. The only way this works is in large packs... and if a trader sees a large pack of pirates in the system he's about to jump into, he'll choose another path.

Ehm... you need the right loadout for pirating.. which can be a bit different than for fighter PVP.

Now this will be a bit of bragging but anyway:

- I have pirated dozens of traders in a LF (Slipstream) true that the 6 slots give it more firepower than other LFs have, but Scimitair has 4 + forward firing turret also, you need nuke mines as well.
With this one I was able to pirate up to a Container Transport alone - more times.

- In a VHF.. with the right setup I can pirate anything.. usually without losing any bots/bats.. depends on how patient you are.. and how much time you have.

The biggest advantage of pirating in a fighter is that you can always get away... when a few GBs and up come to defend the trader.

------------------------------------

@spoiled?

1mil only????

When I meet an Adv. Train on lvl 80.. that means he has some 400 million... and every trader run gives him around 5 more. Now I should ask this guy for 1 mil??

Exactly as Carlos said.. it's "pay or die" not a toll road.
