Cargo piracy

[Valdorel]

Werdi's guide here is quite nice in that everyone can still profit AND have fun. The trader still makes some money and has a chance to be rewarded for fun RP, the Pirate still profits and either gets some fun RP for their time or they get to pew someone which is always fun in itself.

Also keep in mind how much the trader actual stands to make. It takes 15-20 mil to fill their hold, and they get roughly 50 mil on the back end. That leaves roughly 30-35 mil profit. If youre taking more than half that, expect to get avoided by people going forward.

The whole "take as much as you can carry no matter what" approach encourages traders to metagame with the player-list and log out to avoid pirates. Keep in mind that many traders are here for the RP as well, and will actively interact with, or avoid, pirates based on how much RP fun they get back. There are some pirate factions I will knowingly run into because they will RP back, and whether the demands are lower or not there was a fun interaction to be had. (XA-, DTR, etc). And then there are the other pirates who just consistently "Lets make this quick, 10mil and be on your way" with no RP or expanded interaction to be had from their end. (Wont flame names but we all know who some of these are.) Don't be that pirate.
