IMO, the pirate being able to demand the full values of a trader's cargo AT IT'S BEST SELLPOINT while in a place several systems from that sellpoint in frankly BS.
Sure, Gold Ore is worth a fortune when I get it Planet Honshu, (9929) but is of near zero value (250) in all but 4 systems on the entire map. Meaning a 5k transport full of Gold Ore Tau-29 is worth exactly 1.25 million total.
If you pirate me in Honshu, you've hit pay dirt, but almost anywhere else, it's just pretty to look at and nothing more.
The fact that InRP, the trader is just a corporate pilot driving the cargo to it's destination for a paycheck means that he's not a millionaire, doesn't own the cargo and can't meet outlandish demands other than to drop some cargo for the pirate for them to sell at a fence location. Cargo Piracy is, in fact, the only valid piracy InRP.
My point being, that /givecash demands are absolutely OORP. (example: "you're flying a Barge, you have Billions, 30 million is chump change for you." Yes, I've been told that by Pirates, supposedly InRP. And, FYI, those who have paid for a Barge no longer have Billions.)
Killing a trader because he won't give you tens of millions is, by definition, OORP and therefore is also BS.
The fact that we are "rich traders" (if even true) is OORP knowledge, and should be meaningless InRP.
Traders get trolled for acting in a non-RP fashion when, in fact, 90% of piracy on Disco is innately poor OORP nonsense.
