' Wrote:Hm.. This all got me thinking.
As a Corsair when I see a trader trough my space and I ask him to stop. Lets say he refuses. Okay, I CD the guy, and say "0 speed xxxx" Guy starts to cruise again and says something totally lame like "leave me alone"
I know rules say I must ask the exact money amount then, but rp wise, the pilot i'm roleplaying wouldn't like that insult much and would probably say something like "last chance, stop or die"
It's not really asking for cash, but when you encounter a trader like this, can you simply blast away after few warning?
Note, I'm not really talking about a generic pirate id, Corsair in a Corsair space must have some more authority in this case, right?
Ivan is right, a pirate may (RP side, not with actual rules) shot if the trader don't follow pirate's orders.
Last time it arrived to me, the trader was just in position to get the trade line ... It was a little bit difficult cause I had to neutralize the tradeline, ask the trader to go out of this tradeline, and do it fast cause i were near an hostile base.
Why may we don't shot on them if they don't follow our rules and try to flee ? Its simply a non-sence !
And I don't ask the same amount if the trader try to flee, that's normal, he make the pirate lose his time, and time is (a lot of) money !
