I had about six ways of phrasing “the things actively inimical to human life are going to be as hostile to your transport as they are a battleship”. Then I remembered that pretty much every time I saw players actually using those “kill traders without a demand” ID lines, they were wanting to prove a point that “space is dangerous” and encourage traders to use the totally existent escorts that will log at dead hour, or at all without a discord ping, or use medium transports instead of 5kers to get away from the interaction faster.
Overall, demanding “die” immediately is mechanically the “best” way to pirate, at the cost of making the game unfun for the person on the other side.
