I see some problems still didn't change.
That's okay, as long as people are discussing them there's a hope.
Pirates need to approach this problem by a step by step solutions.
Lets start from number one
1. You have to make a money demand and give appropirate time before you can kill the trader. Ammount can't be sick and timing has to be enough so he can reply.
(how was this solved so far by most) - Stop and pay 2 mil [name here].
And it was seen as.. lame. Mostly you feel like you're ripping part of your soul when you're writing it because lets face it, you want rp from trader and you're doing the non rp thing. But its a safety reason and you have to.
(how can this be solved from now on)
- Shoot the damn trader. Shoot him hard, and shoot him heavy. Shoot him until he uses bots and starts saying things like "sanction", "screenshot" and other silly things. Don't kill the guy, ofcourse. Just damage him alot.
You have his full attention now, no matter that he's whining. He's not hitting cruise. Now ask your demand. Let him repair. Think about puppies and shiny sodas and then see his response. If he's still annoying, after he pays you, shoot him down to 10% hull again. He'll be off in no time.
