So it's really more enjoyable for them to just rofldie and be mentally happy that they managed not to let pirate to have profits since OORP stuff is hardly sanctioned in this particular situation. For example a Liner full of VIPs going retard and attack pirate who asked for 2 million and die with all his very important garbage is hardly can be sanctioned for anything if someone would really go for filing a report. So I see the only way in fixing it is to really make some more drawbacks for transports if they die.
But seeing the tendency of buffing transports, trading, mining and other stuff I hardly see anything happen in this case. Especially with the coming buffs for transports to be able to counter cruisers, which is leading the idiocy in development into the point of singularity.
So yea, traders will keep running into the sun to gloriously die in fire instead of RPing anything.
