why traders would care about rats? i mean pirates? about 90% of the pirates enconters i ever had has not more than "give me X M or die! "5% has a bit more like " hello trader what you have there? what about you give me a donation of Xm? no ? then die" in other words, prime RP . Hidamari is right but that is not even the worse, capital ships against traders? wtf?! "Ohh you can pay " yeahh pay one, next system pay another, another trade lane pay another, and at the end it was just losses, and all to some rats that sit their ships on the trade lanes waiting. if people want to see more people trading, they should give traders good chances of sucess, and not certain loss or death.
