Traders, if you don't stop when asked to, we'll skip the asking, and go straight to shooting.

Now, tonights action, seemed to started out fun.

There is a pirate, Viper in this case in the area.

I try to orginize a Trade run with a couple players.

I get two offers of excorts........so....off my group goes.....not soon after i get though a Jump Hole, Viper is all over me.....HALT !

I run, my excorts say: She is under my protection, you'll have to go threw me to get to her!!

Go for it, the Viper pirate replies.

Soon, a fight of ships start......My sheild are almost taken down......my engone wont come on line due to the CD....I start to run....then

RED COMPUTER Signals.................everyone crashes.

The fun stops, and after a few minutes....we get back on.
Viper appears to be mad or something.....I offer to still run some sort of payment to him , when he is servial systems away. We are in PM for a few minues.....ect...ect. Viper tells me to tell ian GOOD FIGHT.

Now...it seems all the fun has been sucked out of the action.

My final 2 cents on this is :

Pirates, say something more than HALT.
Traders, your making 7M a run........have some fun, run around a bit and finnaly give the poor staving space hag 250K for his efforts.

Thank you for putting this into context. I ask less than 1M usually for most traders (not in my home systems)

On my trader character, i can make 5M in less than 15 mins

Lets get perspective in, shall we?

Or are you aiming to make Discovery a server full of battleships?
