Question on Trader/Pirate encounters...

[Kambei]

Kambei, a demand can be anything, anything except HALT, so you can ask them to stop and listen to your propaganda or be destroyed.

Oh and FYI relying on predefined messages to enact piracy is kinda bad form. I have my halt message predefined and my emergency message should they not halt, but everything else is done through impromptu interpretative jazz dances, er I mean typing.

I never know what I'll do to certain trader if im not "on mission" (usualy stop diamond run in NB)... I allways decide after his first reaction (+ calculations lvl/cargo/ship/IFF).

I have 2 predefined messages 1. is stop mesage, 2 is "drop your cargo.... I usualy didnt use any of them. 1 message is used only if there is no time for manual typing (too much traders, bh bc in system etc. etc.), second is used ONLY if trader play "silent Bob" role and refuse stop.

Silent Bobs do nothing for enviromet of system so they havent in my view right for manual typed message.

Maybe it is not moraly right from your view Del but if you dont stop and didint say any word to me, sorry I'll send you predefined order to drop your cargo.

btw: I hate word "Halt".. never use it, my stop call have allways minimaly 3 words.

Everybody trading thru O3 in GMT+1 zone know me and know I try RP every chance for piracy as best as is posible... I just need chance, if you didnt stop or play !silent Bob!, I hadnt chance and, it is your fault not mine.
