Top 10 Tips for Traders

[gopetro42]

I am new to Freelancer. I have read about some servers that only allow you to demand a maxium percentage of the cargo or credits per cargo space. Does this server have any limits on what can be demanded? What keeps a pirate from demanding all of your money. Or all of your cargo. I was stopped by pirates and they demanded 100% of my cargo. What incentive do I have to drop 100%. I loose it whether I drop it or get blow up. They would not even accept 50%. And as I understand, they get the 100% even if they blow you up. There is no sport in that. Isn't there anything in favor of the trader in this case?
