Death to silent traders

[AshHill07]

Both sides are just as guilty. I haven't traded for a long time now, but in the 3 years I've played here, all but I think 2 pirates that I've ever met actually gave me any sort of meaningful RP or even a reasonable demand. All of the rest were either Xmilordai, busy with someone else, or too fat to keep up with me to even get the demand out. Most of my pirate encounters have resulted in my escape, I think I've paid maybe 3 people in total. But most of the time the reason I escape is because the pirate is being an idiot.

Examples:
Someone once tried to pirate my SFC| Tagged BattleTransport in a single bomber whilst sat next to a pair of SFC| Assault Wing Gunboats.
Someone once tried to pirate the same BattleTransport whilst I was sat 200 metres away from the Fort Bush Fastdock waiting for my Convoy to catch up. Then QQ'd in PM about it.
