Stop with this nonsense! "Returning to system for trade purposes only"

[Adam_Spire]

That's the problem of the line. Because we don't know what exactly "this" reffers to.

What about returning with different trader, but other IFF as well?

You'd be surprised how many players would log on to say a 10-12 gun transport and just "accidentally,' happen to fly into the gosh darn same location where the pirate was attacking someone else and in a need of "self defense," attack the original pirate ship that either forced them to land or killed their other transport.


This was a massive issues years ago where a fleeing trader would land then log on to a Battleship or something to blow away the pirates, the then dead pirates would get a group of ships, with them in the group, and attack the battleship and then "justify" their being in the counter attacking group because the battleship pulsed their shields below a certain %

Yes Traders get a raw deal because there are times they were killed IN the system they need to make a delivery. That's why I'm always a fan of alternate routes and the idea you can never have enough commodities to choose from. Because of forums like this and in game confusion I just avoid the system I died in. Two hours goes by fast enough.

I got blown away in Omega 3 the other day, changed paths to just do cargo runs the other way. Problem solved.
