Im reading this different coments and replaies
We are still talking about silent traders..
Uh I think main reason why traders are silent are not pirates.
Main reason is those traders are not playing becouse RP...
...they are playing to get fast credits ...
...wich they will wire to some new character and buy some new big shiny ship.
Ofcourse they get mad when they meet pirate, but how much is resonable demand?
250k , 500k, 2mil, 5mil, 15mil, 50mil?
If they are silent they will never hear the demand how much!
Also when I see BT with CAU6 or higher,
that combo alone is 300mil.. could be up to more than 1bil (CAU8+Battlescanner+BT) with no cargo.
