That can equally be said for people who build POBs in mining fields that have a clear disregard for Pirate RP.
As I said if these bases were moved even 5k out of the field it wouldn't be a problem. This is MY OPINION but the only reason this is coming up though is because from what I've seen pirate demands are getting a bit over the top with no RP to go with it so everyone has started to flee to the stations. I don't mind handing over ore I just mined (Can just mine more) to pirates or a fair number of credits but even just last week I was hit by 2 pirates in a row the first demanding 6.5 mil which I paid (surprise they logged in 2 minutes after I entered O-11 and then logged out as soon as they hit 15k distance. I don't call that RP I call that rubbish) Then another one arrived which demanded 8 mil. After trying to explain I didn't have 8 mil to give and to just wait a bit for a couple other ships to arrive which I was hired to mine for because they could pay them. The pirate responded "You don't pay and call friend you die" and spaced me. Which then caused my mates to log out cause they no longer had someone to mine for them which could've be avoided if the pirate waited and just RPed a little bit (instead of "You waste my time".) or if there was a PoB nearby I could've docked at until the transports arrived.
