Don't you dare make a pirate victim here! It's not like there's many true pirates still out there.
Well that depends on what escorts are and what the pirate is "driving"
a) Adv train hiring two light fighters to escort - pirate flies a gunboat.
- Solution: Pay the SOB the money if you can't escape and you tried, or even better make the escorts pay it since they can't in any way aid you. Carry on with your trip, try to hire better escorts for the job.
b) Adv train hiring a fighter to escort - pirate flies a bomber.
- Solution: while your escort is ramming the damn bomber, you make sure your shields are up entire time of the fight. Cruise away asap and use those countermeasures nicely. If you fail again, make sure your escort pays the fee since he's the one that sucked again, unless he's dead.. o.O
c) Adv train hiring i don't care what - pirate is flying i'm bored of this text.
- Solution: make sure you agree on the good terms with the escorts and make sure they understand them. Also make sure that you can't kill them in your train because if you can they certainly ain't of use to you out there.
In any case, more pirates means more escorts hopefully.
