Question regarding piracy

[Robert.Fitzgerald]

Well, oniros, that was quite intelligent and there are good points in your post. However, the biggest problem with traders in my opinion are the ones who metagame. You know the type, the ones who buy the trader ID and get an advanced train, abuse the rep system, "lol" at pirates and quote non-existent rules against you. The ones who prefer to die / F1 out of the game rather than pay up, as they cannot be bothered paying any sum of credits (I've heard cases of traders F1ing over one unit of cargo). Until the problem of metagaming is solved, I believe there will be no solution to the Trader vs Pirate situation.

Metagaming traders slowly but surely impart their mindset on susceptible pirates. The pirates then metagame, hence the "2 mil or die" stereotype emerges. The true root of the problem? Not pirates. Not traders. It's metagaming.
