Piracy in Disco

Made a quick vid on how an easy pirating would look like...

Now to make one how a complicated one would look like.

Note that in this vid, all the stuff around the pirate is red, and that the Jump Gate, off in the distance, is at least one trade lane away from the point that the pirate is pirating. This pirate has avoided my gripes, although it appeared to be getting shot at. The Trader did not request the pirate clear off the NPCs though, so there was no problem with #3. I suspect if it was in a more hostile zone, it might. This would result in the trader appearing to struggle. Did the pirate see the trader getting shot at? Did the pirate watch the trader's shields and ensure they didn't drop to the NPC fire? That is where situational awareness matters. If each pass of the NPC dropped the trader's shields by 1/10th, it would be a sign of a problem that needed to be taken care of, and the trader might rabbit because this would become an example of a "Die or Die" situation. In all, this is a prime example of pirating done right. Some people might have a problem with "fine", but still good. I find it interesting that he types everything out. However, the trader is already "caught" at that point, so it isn't any problem.

[color=#FFFF00]Patiently waiting for admins to close this thread ... trial by forum.

I was under the impression a trial by forum was where an individual is discussed. This is a discussion about three particular acts that some pirates do. Nobody has even mentioned an individual outside of themselves. If I mentioned any of the pirates that caused me to become concerned enough by the lack of their attention to post this, this would indeed become a trial by forum. The question is, who do you think is on trial on this Topic? It can't be a trial without someone to be judged.
