About that, whats with all the 15 mill demands these days?
What are you hauling? What is your ship size?
If you're a 5K hauling ore, expect big taxes, if you're a freighter/small transport trading standard commodities, file a sanction, simple as that.
My demands are always reasonable IMO, 20m to a 5K carrying 50m worth of ore is fine, that's just a 40% tax, and this is mostly 20/30k away from the sell point.
They rarely pay though which is retarded, just try and get away somehow, and end up losing the full 50m, almost every time.
Either put up with paying the pirate, or use the jump holes in high traffic systems. If a demand is unreasonable, file a sanction. I filed one as I witnessed another lolwut pirate demanding 15 million from an empty 5K (one of the CrazyTraders), his RP was something like "15 mil, 20 seconds, die", then he attacked me and my friend without a word, got me to 5% hull, then RP "i dont like pirate in my area, you die" (I was in a Behemoth).
This guy's ship is now in Bastille with no guns (and he had a Rogue Destroyer hahaha)... So don't just ignore it, if someone makes a ridiculous demand, report it, if lolwuts start seeing loads of sanction notices for unreasonable demands, they'll think twice. (and we all read the sanction threads right? )
