Question on Trader/Pirate encounters...

[Vic]

I know as a trade you may engage pirates... But, I also know you have to RP as well. My question is this: is it wrong for a trade to just blast you on sight pretty much? I mean I cut someones lane, I went to check their cargo, before I even had finished scanning them they shoot and kill me.

I don't mind being killed, but it's like at least RP it out. Yes I'm in a missile dagger, I'm not much of a threat, but not 20 minutes before a gunboat passed by and we had a little RP and then I let him on his way. He could have ripped me in half, but he RPed it out and "let me off the hook" simply because I was a "young" lane hacker who didn't know what he was getting into.

But this was more like "I'M A TRANSPORT WITH BIGGER GUNS THAN YOU LALWALWLA PEW PEW NOOOB" I dunno, it just peeves me when I encounter poor RP or none at all.

I'm not a fan of RP, I've had my fair share of it doing MUD's back in the early 90's. But I'm on an RP server, I respect that, I'll RP where RP is needed. Somedays I don't want to RP but I still will. Granted my RP is weaker than the rest of you but I'm simply not putting forth a ton of effort. But I still RP.

I think there needs to be stricter RP rules. It's no fun for people like myself who are willing to RP just to get popped by someone with bigger guns without slinging some verbal mud about in an RP like manner. Yes bigger guys can blow me up, but in the case of the Gunboat a little RP made it more enjoyable for both of us.*
