Something disturbing I have noticed during my pirate-trader interactions

[Eduard]

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.

I concur with Haste's statement.

Trading is fun when you're accompanied by mates and faction members and stop for any worthy source of RP.

I remember getting stopped by RM on our way to Rheinland, and questioned and all that surveys... it was nice, very immersive. Especially when they questioned why I have gaian wildlife as personal pets :>

I think a thing which makes trading fun is to take in consideration the notion that RP may come up, and when it does, you should stop for it, not continue on your power trading rampage.

Doing trading in hopes of having RP is also fun
