Pirates & Traders

[Antonio]

I don´t see any attempt to negotiate from the trader, not to mention attempt to cruise/thrust away. Also stop blaming pirate that he behaved like a pirate. Or are pirates expected to ask only demands like "Give me 10 percent of you cargo but only if you are okay with it" these days because they should be "fair pirates"?

We're talking about a new player here, who probably doesn't know a lot (if anything) about roleplay, or more specifically a pirate - trader encounter. All he sees is that he is about to lose all the time and money invested from the point of getting the cargo to the point of meeting the pirate. He didn't attempt to negotiate because he doesn't know how to negotiate. Thrusting away only delays his death, which is opposite of what he wants (Dying as soon as possible so he can go back to trading, which is why he wrote "kill me".).

Speaking of pirate demands, you'll never go wrong with ~25-30% of the profit in cash, or the amount your ship can carry in terms of cargo. I never said you should ask for 10% of the cargo, but asking for all of it is just disgusting.
