Ok my other character is a trader and i really have no problem paying a pirate his bit of cash for my life. Some things that bug me though. First you guys don't need to be so quick to blow us traders out of space. Yes some of us DO role play as well as making cash so give us a chance to gripe moan and complain a little. Who wouldn't when getting robbed? Secondly Please PLEASE stop trying to get me to stop for you if i am 9k or farther away and in cruise. I am not going to stop for you, you have no real chance of catching me before i make the next jump and staying in the character of a trader i would not stop for you unless you had a reasonable chance of killing me. Next, asking for double the amount normally demanded just because you had no chance to catch me before is really a load of crap. It is not my fault you did not position yourself where you actually had a prayer of stopping me. Remember most independant traders are SUPPOSED to try and get away not just turn belly up and pay off. Good RP demands we play our characters so please act accordingly.
