Peoples mentality about Piracy demands baffles me..

[Ceoran]

Normally I pirate traders depending on its cargo and its size.
For example, if it was carrying 5k BA, I usually demand the trader 4 million.
If a Stork has no cargo I demand the trader 3 million or 3.5 million
If the trader has an ID/IFF that is my arch enemy (such as Hessians pirating Daumann) I demand them 7-10 million.

Outside of Gallia asking 4 million for 5k BAs is taking more than the entire profit.I doubt anyone will pay who isn't supplying a POB (and those were excluded by Spazzy). Asking 7 or even 10 million for a bunch of BAs is just asking for a cheap kill. And people have been sanctioned for it before.
