Well that depends. If the run in one way (i'm making up numbers here) makes about 10 mil, and there's a pirate in sigma 13, taxing him 1mil for the passage. He pays, he's making 9 mil, a dragon in chogoku is making him drop 1500 diamonds to survive and his profit is down to 6. He pays it all, and he's on his way back with niobium or whatever what makes about 4mil a run. He meets the dragon again, ofcourse who wants 1mil now just to let him pass, and he comes on to sigma 13 where that same pirate wants 1mil again.
Thats about 8mil down the drain each run.
This should be possible, shouldn't it? Trader can get taxed over and over, it's his fault he's falling for the same trick.
am i right here?
But i see your point of not always being there. Thats true. Maybe route needs a bit cutting down, but those two pirates would help alot, trust me. Half of people get very frustrated trading vips when they run into me all the time. then they just (irritated obviously) stop to pay and they end up getting killed because i'm not letting them go just like that when i know i'm not asking for much. And then whining starts...
