Pirating and O-41

[Rudo]

Got accosted by two VHFs that weren't Corsairs in Gamma. I told 'em what to do with their demand and took off.

The chase started in Gamma and ended up in O-41, where I lost my CM dropper (but had a lot of b/b left) and decided after getting a few clicks' distance to drag them through the minefield, and then after that failed to finish them off, decided to make my final stand a couple k from the Neutron Star. Like I said, I had a lot of bots left.

After darting in and realizing the perils present in a cornered transport shooting in an environment designed to eat you alive, they called me a few nasty names and left me alone.

Was this a valid tactic or an abuse of the vast durability difference between transport and fighter?

Note: I would have paid ransom except for a few extremely important details (wrong kind of ship for pirating, wrong tags, etc) and poor roleplay on their part.


PS: We need more fun systems like that one. More black holes, more random deadly mines to drag enemies through, more incredibly dangerous and expensive-to-repair radiation damage.
