Pirating, amount of money

[Stucuk]

So, it should be against the server rules for a pirate to demand credits? They'd have to fill their small cargo holds (fighter -> bomber ->gunboat) with a commodity, often destined for lawful bases?

Right.

It will never be against the rules as its common practice and no pirate factions will want to give up a good source of income. Real Pirates who are outlawed steal alot of there goods so they can live, like Food, clothes, etc. When you raid a ship you should have a pirate cargo ship with you to transfer the goods to. Criminals that steal goods never get the full market value, why should FL be any different? You seem to be saying that if Pirates acted like Real Life pirates then you wouldn't make any money.

You know, 2 million irrelevant for someone who owns a Train

Doesn't matter if you can afford 2 million. In FL you have to buy your own ship, in Real Life most would have a ship given to them by the company that there a part of. This is where game logic and real life are seperate. Just because you have more money in the Game (Because you have to to get new ships and buy cargo) doesn't mean you would in RP.

Taxing people isnt Oorp. Thats just Traders complaining talk.
If you got mugged and you werent carrying your wallet the
possibility is there that they would conk you out, and take
your jacket/shoes/etc. If they are particularly nasty they stab you.

I havn't ever payed pirates. No pirate has every asked me for cargo. It is oorp for pirates/criminals not to act like Pirates/Criminals, all criminals/pirates steal whatever you have on you, they don't ask for money or they will kill you, especialy to lorry drivers.

Mugging and Cargo taking are parts of FL. Role Play it.
Put a bounty on the pirates instead of complaining on here.

When do criminals Mug lorry drivers? They don't, they go for the CARGO as what the driver has on him (Proberly under 100 pounds/dollers/whatever isn't worth anything compaired to the cargo). You may want to note that i havn't complained, i just stated that people arn't RPing pirates/criminals how pirates/criminals act.

Asking for money instead of cargo is just as valid a pirating act.
Be grateful they dont ask you for bananas, because THAT
is a demand you cannot fulfil. Then they have the opportunity to shoot you.

Obvacly its "valid" as everyone is doing it, but that doesn't mean that its how pirates/criminals act. Taking what is in your hold is what pirates/criminals do.

You may want to actualy read what Piracy is as Extortion isn't Piracy. Note that criminals don't go upto lorry drivers and Extort them for money as they don't make enough money for any criminal to be interested.

Everyone on this server goes on that LOL isn't RP, but when something meaningfully isn't RP'd right people go on about the person who identifies it as complaining... Oh and you may want to note that i ACTUALY have a pirate account before you say that im "complaining because i got robbed" again.
