Cargo piracy

[Lemon]

So, I can pirate 3k cargo out of 5ker and be reasonable, right?

calling that reasonable is for me, at the minimum pathetic, what profit will the trader have? but hey ... nothing here surprises me anymore, if this is considered reasonable.

You might have a point there - the thing is on Maquis we don't have to ask - I can just shoot you without a demand even thought we don't do it - this is also why we are the only faction that focuses on cargo piracy with transports+frigates still active.

One factor is the distance from the purchase point and the distance to the destination. If you just bought a commod for 2k a pop a tradelane away I'm gonna make 6 million for asking the max 3k on a Frigate - but it cost you more or less just that 6 million too - you didn't fly very far and it's easy to get more where you got it from, unlike for me in terms of lawful commodities.

But if you flew 30 minutes with Ore and are near sell point it obviously hurts a lot more - that time is a lot of opportunity cost for you - in those cases I ask for 2k on average, less if they cooperate. But 3k is still reasonable server rules-wise technically - in our case it's what I get anyways if I shoot you, I'd just be an asshole for asking that.
