2. Use the cloaking device and go to a mining field that you know (not from the player list - like you do on your JM| lol).
3. Fire on the base to activate its shield and block docking.
4. Say "Surprise motherfraker!" while doing that and hide behind an asteroid while the base tries to mine it to get to you.
5. RP with your target.
You forgot one:
6. Get destroyed by 9999999 weapons platforms.
Point number 4 doesn't work as you can't be stationary during the piracy encounter. If the trader moves, you'll have to move too and this will expose you to the platforms. Sure, you can roleplay with your target, but if they're not really in any real danger why the heck are they going to pay you?
Actually Mao, what am I saying? Given that you're affiliated with one of these POBs, you've probably set yourself to friendly on the bases diplomacy list, so that it won't shoot you.
Statements like that about JM aren't nice Mao. Especially if Skype tells me you're a hypocrite.
Where can a miner move if the base is blocked? He'll try to move away from the base and its guns? I don't think so. He'll wait there and either pay you or try to defend itself. If it comes down to a fight, you can dodge the turrets and finally kill the miner.
Yes, I'm Samura|. Duh... Shiojiri is on the list and it's my best money grinding facility in the game. Guess what. I'm grinding money using it. I use the money for my other ships that produce activity. I'm ruining gameplay, right?
I'm also on the other side of the fence with Fortitudine sitting at 15k max from Holmfirth (a gaian base if you didn't know). I dislike that faction operating so close to one of their major enemies but it's nothing we can do about it. I've started to ignore them.
As for JM|, that's for a different topic and I'm not going to discuss it without having gathered enough evidence for a sanction. I'm a hypocrite if your Skype contains people like certain mercs or various PvPwhores that were denied their blues once
