As a coni-sewer of pirating practice... not a practising pirate of course - no, never (cough), but a close observer I have insight of such matters.
A pirate relative... mate... some-one I once knew demanded 50 million from a certain trader in a barge who had a load of RA. Purchase price was 7.5 million SC. Cheaper to die than to pay. The certain trader related to the pirate that it seemed excessive and unfair. Said pirate shot him dead.
Moral of this story? Playing a pirated victim in RP is pointless in the above scenario. The RP is meh, and the game becomes bland with b-grade inRP encounters.
Oh they joy in death, those who undertake to remove the corpses of ship and sailor.
