Piracy according to the rules

[n00bl3t]

1. If I am pirating & stop a freighter (Usually "Halt & name of ship") & the freighter does not stop, I know I Can CD him & pound them to a pulp ( leaving a sliver of hull) & make my demand. Question is, what if they dont stop after being CD'd? Say I make 2 more attempts at demanding cargo or money, keep them cd'd & they still try to escape, is it then ok to destroy them?

2. Ok, I am out pirating, say the "Halt so & so" they hit cruise & haul tail.. I have not fired a shot & they make it out of CD range, am I allowed to engage cruise to catch them?

3. my favorite & happens more frequently lately, I catch a ship coming through my trap. Say "Halt Whats ya face" I get "no speak English" as a response... Ok, usually I let them go lately for fear of a sanction, but it has gotten to the point every third person uses the "No speaky engrish!" line What would be the proper etiquet for this situation?

4. How long do you give a trader you successfully stopped to pay or drop cargo before letting them have the business end of your long irons? Myself i give them 15 to 20 seconds to at least get the trade window open UNLESS they role playing which I will give them all day as I love to see a good role played out encounter. But have had a few say " give me a minute" then SHAZAM! they either try to run ( at which point & CD & torp em into dust) OR 3 fighters show up to save their bacon. SO, if after max of 30 seconds & they have not opened a trade window, can I rip em a new one?

1) Make a demand. Only after a demand (2 mil or die) can you kill them. Otherwise it's sanctionable.
2) If you haven't fired a CD at them you can engage cruise because you haven't engaged in PVP. If you have opened fire and they hit cruise first then they are fleeing, and since they hit it first you are allowed to re-engage.
3) Make your demand. If they don't pay, kill them.
4) 20 seconds. Type it out in your demands. "20 seconds to respond x". If they don't, SN them. You're a pirate. You make the demands. You're not meant to be patient.

Hope that helps. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Edit: Sorry Ichtan, I just saw the question.
