Piracy according to the rules

[Eternal]

Well, seems to me people are just trying to make alot and alot and ALOT of rules , just for purpose to have rules.It's kinda good , I like some rules and I like the fact that there ARE rules to folow.Well I'll tell you what happens most of the time.All of my active chars are in some way conected to pirating (exept one) and since I'm REALY active I face alot of traders.Here is what happens almost every time. I usually pirate in S13 close to the NB JH.For everyone that hasn't been there , here is what you have to know.Wilds spawn in every 2-3 mins.They aren't THAT hard to kill but when you try to stop a trader and type at the same time , while being atacked by them you will soon learn that they take down your shield and hull very very fast.I try to keep the Wild away from the traders when I wanna stop them but that isn't apretiated.So I'm like 1-2k away from the JH to NB.I stop the trader , atempt a RP way to make him pay.He doesn't have to use cruise to get to the JH so he just engine kill's wich as you know cannot be stopped in anyway.At this time, I take damage from Wild and he runs away.Ok ... I fowol him to NB where there are MORE wild (every ******* time ) and I atempt to stop him again when he just engine kills ahead.I have no time to type , I can't make him stop and listen and I surtanly can't make him wait till I kill the wild(all good , everythink is legal for a trader).After hearing this , wich one of you can tell me I can't say.*Stop ,listen and pay 1m or die*.It sometimes costs me MORE money to repair my ship and equip it again with CD that I have used to stop him ( I have to use 'round 10 PER trader).If you are trinking that pirats should be kind and beg for money and trying to put it in a way that we HAVE to do that 'cuz a real pirate would do the same you are realy wrong.The way I see it.If he doesn't stop at *HALT* and then runs after the CD , this guy is loosing my time.I just blast him and I don't have to pay the huge bill for repairs.You say *Thats bad RP....* , I ask why? What do you think a real pirate would do , aa? Wait for you FINALY decide to stop and then try to stop you by force? I read the post of someone here that said , that I can take down his shield and eat his hull at 10-15% and then tax.Well .. it seems they find this hostile and stuff like that.And what do I say to someone who does this - *HALT* - *no-responce* - starts firing at me (I'm in a bomber so I can't just sit and watch).Then all of the sudden he says *ok ... don't shoot I'll pay ...* The trader atacks the pirate and THEN he asks to pay.:wacko: Every , EVERY reality check will tell you that even if the trader or border ship scraches you , they will blast him without a thought.And ofcource the *Grand Final* today.I see a trader with 1000 passengers.And stop him.Lets see what he does.Before that I just want to say somethink.In the topic I made , I saw some people stand FOR the trader and said I was wrong.Ok .... he F1'ed two times , but I'm wrong 'cuz of bad RP.If THIS time I have done something wrong , then I'll just leave this server.




Don't forget that this time , I'm in a GB and take a look at how much of the GB shield has random NPC taken down,when normaly they don't even touch me.Now imagen I was in a bomber...how much would you think it would cost me to repair.Every real pirate would rather KILL the victim then let it escape.So pirats are bad RP'ers , aa ? Lets make a reality check.A pilot of a plain full of people or train or ship or whatever,Is asked to pay money for the life's of the passengers.They ALWAYS prefer a dealing with money instead of blood.This guy has 1000 passangers and you can see the RP results.So where does this leave us....hmm...a yes..Traders are much much MUCH more bad RP'ers.Ofcourse there are some traders wich gladly pay me.And next time I see them on scaner I leave them pass with somethink like *Godspeed*.But you can be sure that next time I see Brainiac I will just kill him.
