Admin Notice: Changes to server rule 4.1 and 4.3

[Backo]

The only way an escort can assist is by making sure the transports and pirates never see each other.
However, that reduces game interaction significantly, which is a bad thing in any multiplayer game.

Or the escort(s) could kill the pirate. I'm beginning to wonder why this is never the option?

Player who do transport trolling thing dont return fire to fighters, and it is very hard to kill fighter that dont return fire and only cocentrate to evades your shoots. Once 4 of as fighters were chasing one, he just do Boxing thing for 5 minutes before we were out of CD and Missiles then he just cruise away. We not even drain him of his bits.

If the pirate is busy dodging the escorts the transport could probably fairly easily sneak into a trade lane that just went up and effectively "disengage" from the fight. Afterwards the escorts could just shoot the lane down so the pirate can not chase further. There should be a really huge skill gap for 4 escorts and a transport to not be able to deal with a single pirate.
