Something disturbing I have noticed during my pirate-trader interactions

[Haste]

TL;DR trading is a chore and also boring one at that.

That's because piracy doesn't happen enough. Or encounters in general.

Trading would be much more fun if, prior to heading out of Liberty, an LPI- came up and did a little bit of "let me scan you please" roleplay, after which they ask you where you're headed, blahblah. You continue, run into an LH~ who lectures you on what a corporatocratic swine you are, and so on and so forth.

Non?

Also, consider flying with other faction members and roleplaying the whole trip. It can be pretty fun.
