It simply doesn't work that way. Pirating often costs money in the end,
Yah....I would say that all of the ammo and bot rebuys over the course of the years vs the money I've made would probably about equal out.
I also wasn't really concerned about making money, so I've never asked for more than 2 million. I think I may have asked for 5 on a few gold haulers, but it wasn't often.
Had I been asking for 10-15 mills, which is entirely justifiable for ore haulers, then I probably would come out on top.
I wasn't doing it for the money though. It was fun to be a bad guy, especially considering my true nature is about as opposite as you can get from that (or I think so anyways).
Maybe I'm just too nice to be a successful pie-rat. Who knows....
