Speaking as someone with a multitude of pirate characters (and the Dragon--not GC--pirate referred to in this post) I can say that isn't completely true--people still logoff, dock and hide, avoid, etc. even when you're a reasonable pirate (such as when I'm on LGN for example).
Generally if people stop when I pirate, I want a piece of their cargo (like the liner with Cigars the other day), or I ask for 20k. If they try to run at first, that amount goes up. If they keep trying to run, they die.
Example: MFN stopped. They were pissy as they are wont to do in this situation for being stopped in the first place (and how they would react in character). However, they stopped so I charged only 20k. Literally moments later, I caught a Freelancer smuggling Slog through Kusari. I could have popped him on principle alone, but instead charged 60k because of how annoyed my character was.
On topic, IMG could have just blown up the Barge. Honestly, I'm surprised they let him live as a Daumann Barge inside Tau-23 in the first place. As someone who practically lives in Tau-23, I've seen many deaths by IMG for infringing on their territory.
Lastly, I recommend we stay on topic lest this post be locked. The conversation is in regards to IMG feedback, not personal grudges against other players. I know I went off topic myself, but I felt I needed to speak as I felt the quote above needed clarification--and as the Dragon mentioned in this topic.
