trader may try to escape, pay, or even die, but F1 is only for noobs.
if he is like that report him or ignore and let him play alone if he doesn't want to PR with others.
this case has another side:
trader moved across space, a few neutral PCs on scanner:
- CD, shot, cruise down, shield down, shot hull down, bots/bats
- trader : "stop this" - no time to write more
- silence - shot, shot, shot , BOOM
- pirate : "why didn't you stop?"
