Trader being killed by pirate

[sovereign]

Nope. The original poster.

Thanks for clarifying.

Outside the planet where they are docked? meh, if someone runs to a planet and docks I'll hang out there until they pay me or log off. Since they are immune to RPing their deaths then I won't let them go.

If I'm sitting at one of 4 JGs out of a system and the same guy comes by after i blew him up you bet your sorry hairdo I'm going to pirate him again, and charge an additional fee for the previous time.

Seriously, as someone who tries to RP his trader, I have no sympathy for traders as a pirate. It's easy enough anyway and hard enough on the pirate.

humph, ill go back to my little corner now.

I have to agree here, pirating is quite hard, and harder with traders who don't RP. Such as the S-13 shortcut, please don't use that, it is distinctly ooRP and makes Phantoms show up. Bad for business on every end. I RP trader 'deaths' like any other char, don't respawn for four hours, except in cases of weird NPC/lag related deaths that can be blamed on pathetic internet connection and NOTHING ELSE. Even those I usually stay away for four hours.

People might not have noticed, but polite traders and traders who RP get nice low rates from me, a scant 1 mil as opposed to the 2 mil you would get otherwise. If other pirates adopt something similar, it could really help promote a less 3.2/3.4 prone environment, and one with a little more profit on all sides.
