Pirating with cruisers nearby

[Dab]

Baltar, its no use.. Trust me, there are soooo many OORP traders (many doing an OORP route through Chugoku, the BD's home system that few are supposed to even know the location of...) that will do ANYTHING to avoid being pirated. That means F1ing, threatening with a ban because I'm pirating that person.. Docking Ainu Depot, a GC base, while a GC-tagged ship is pirating them.. And the best; Bringing out their battlecruisers and battleships to get vengeance on the small little lone VHF/Bomber (depends on my mood) that took out their transport. Of course, then they run when that lone little VHF/Bomber turns into a group of pirates out for his blood... THAT feels good, unlike dealing with these people..

And then we have the grand finale. The trader who dies, comes back with his destroyer, sits out Ainu Depot, and demands 5 million FROM THE PIRATE or he'll kill him. He ran too, when I took him to the GC guard.. Then again when my backup arrived in Hokkaido.. Then he repaired on Planet Kyshu, and came again.. Then we tricked him into making an unauthorized, non-docking ring landing on Planet Kyushu. But losing one destroyer wasn't enough. He brought out his 'spare' and came again!
But no! The PIRATE sure lost that fight..

This is an example of my day as a Kusari pirate in the middle of the OORP shortcut to the Diamond-Niobium route.. Trust me.. There are few traders out there that don't look for any, and I mean ANY way to avoid piracy.. And what makes it much worse, as now all the pirates expect bad attitudes and OORP from the traders, that the legit RPing traders get caught up in the bad name of a trader.

Now excuse me while I report Battleship Mississippi for 'interfering' when I got caught smuggling.
