I had a rather interesting encounter with a pirate in a Hessian cruiser the other day. I was transporting gold to Berlin when the trade lane was disrupted. Expecting a " reasonable" demand, I stopped and attemted RP with said pirate. But, instead of a reasonable demand, this dog demanded 13 million credits! A ridiculous amount to say the least. I am quite willing to fork over a few mil, but this was just plain stupid. So what did I do you may ask. I jettisoned my cargo and immediately destroyed it and engaged this "pirate". Needless to say, I was quickly destroyed, but he did not make a profit from me. All other pirates that attempt such extortion will be met with the same results.
