escorts? what escorts? how many players you see playing for escorts? no one is even offering that. that was when the server was full and there was even clans for that.
cloaks? do you even know how cloaks now work? you put someone guard a jump gate/hole, and the cloak is useless, because you don't even need a cloak disrupter.
i say the real things that happen, and it is you that live in some barbie and ken game. i know very well what can happen and what can't, i know very well how it to be pirated, and i can say that i had very good interactions with pirates, some even continue to talk after the encounter, but reallity is about 90% of pirate is "cut engines, give me X or die" that is the truth and not a dream on your head, and when this happen i see my stand, can i win? can i run? if yes or maybe so i give fight, if not and have a good cargo i pay. simple. how can someone go from system A to C, if the only way is by B and there just one way to pass? That is how most rats do, park in one place and stay there around, always was that way, and even if i can go to C by D, how i can tell if there is another also there? the player list says in what system player is, not in what part of that system, he can even be inside a base.
what i said in the beggining was why is legal to have to give all the cargo if there is a rule that say pirates have to make reasonable demands? how can lose all is reasonable? isn't the same thing that the pirate ask much more than you said what it was reasonable? any real answer to that? anyone? a good proper anwser? one honest one not arrogant one please. thank you in advance
