Pirating demands

[Silver.2]

Yeah, I thought I'd add something else to this one.

Because even now the pirates already lost his chance of getting paid
if the trader has an escort.

Because:
1.Pirates kill trader, as always.
2.Escorts kill pirate.

So either way, pirates are not getting anything, if the trader has escort.

Unless of course the pirate likes to destroy traders, is doing it just to spite the trader, or to get the blue message.

Very good point.

Another thing I'd like to bring up is a common argument against getting an escort. When buzing around in my Hyena, moving towards an ambush spot or such, I often hear a fwe escorts broadcasting their services. Almost every time, there's some guy who says that the escort will cost as much as a pirate.

Now, this may end up being true, or it may not be. If you actually run into pirates with a decent demand (500k-1mil), you might be better off paying the pirate. If it's ~2mil, it may be the same paying an escort or going alone. However, with the growing population of "10milrdai" pirates hunting miners, an escort could be a very good investment.

Really, it all depends on who you want to pay, and how much.
