Quote:But since traders don't value their life, they don't bargain with the pirate for it...
People don't RP acceptable terms because pirates are asking for fixed fees. 99% of pirates don't seem to care about RP, they just want some easy money and ask stupid fees. For example one time i was asked to pay 2 million with a low end trader ship which couldn't even make 2 million without something like 4 trade runs, thats not a RP bribe. Pirates should ask for everything which isn't bolted down if they want to RP pirating, not fixed 2 million fees.
If a pirate would ask for goods insted of fixed money values(As in a Pirate actualy RPing), i may actualy run less times from pirates and RP insted when im in a trader character. You may be in the 1% which actualy RP's, but the rest just do the "2 million or your dead" speach, which is far from RP and doesn't allow for any leyway(SP).
