That is designed to try to flame. You want to state something, then go ahead..but leave the flame starter at home.
This entire thread was created to flame pirates. Every few weeks there's a new thread that complains about how pirates conduct business. Here's some examples:
- Complaints about "2 mil or die" lacking role play
- Complaints about pirates asking for credits instead of cargo
- Complaints about pirates attacking before they say anything (note that non-pirates do this on a regular basis)
- Complaints about pirates pirating near planets and lawful bases
- Complaints about pirates operating in lawful systems
- Complaints about pirates using trade lanes
- Complaints about pirates killing trade lanes when a trader enters one
- Complaints about pirates pirating the same person more than once
- Complaints about pirates not giving the trader a 24 hour pass after they've been paid
- Complaints about pirates with a generic Pirate ID an no faction affiliation (um ... the whole point behind the "generic")
- Complaints about pirates using CD's
- Complaints about pirates using gunboats instead of fighters
- Complaints about pirates pirating traders (period)
This is by far not a complete list. There are many others. But I've heard each of these complaints (either in forum or online).
It sounds like traders want a free ride. Most traders just wanna make the quick buck so they can buy their battle cruisers to hunt down pirates ... oh i give up.
