Manpower problem then. Recruit & Beat the pirates into submission and out of your space! Or don't complain about how hard your job is. I'm sure if you had more people to police the area, it would be 1 safer and 2 easier on you. What do police forces and military do when they see they aren't being effective? 1 They improve their tactics and how they use their power, and 2 they recruit more people into their ranks because everyone knows more people equals quite simplistically more manpower to carry out the mission at hand. So don't try to argue that with me. Either step your game up or recruit more people to help.
I don't see what the big deal is really. We are fair. We don't kill people who pay us. And that -single- incident of killing that trader because he didn't have funds to pay us was a single incident as far as I know. I wasn't there so I can't be sure. Either way, it is a trait of a pirate to be a murderer. Ever heard of walking the plank? And I'm -sure- that trader could have offered up something, any kind of funds. I've rarely seen any trader with 0 credits. I'm sure he also had cargo, he could have dropped a portion of it as collateral. We are not a group of people who are not willing to negociate, and as I said before we don't really go around killing traders who have nothing to offer us.
P.S. As for you challenge, I don't double clan like some people do.
