Is it "running" if the attacker can't even really hurt you?

[Vero]

In true RP spirit how would a pirate have any idea if a trader had 1,000,000 credits or more to part with anyway?
In my humble opinion the whole point of pirating should be to take as much loot as the pirate can carry and then run off before the authorities show up.
Now if traders carried cash as part of their cargo, taking that as loot would make sense to me as its part of the loot the pirate is looking for.

In my trade characters I try to run cargo that makes RP sense, not the most money from point A to point B. I would be happy to RP with a pirate who said did more than 1,000,000 credits, ten seconds and then sends a trade request. Im running 1000 food in a transport for gosh sakes. I wont even make 100,000 on the run, but hes looking for the unrealistic your level 46 you can afford it.
