Traders and fighting/ running

[Coin]

I trade. A LOT. In fact, a hell of a lot. I raised the cash for the Faction post, and all the cash for the guns, ships, armour, shields etc etc for over 20 players, BY MYSELF (over 2bn last time i cast an eye over the WT accounts), and I did it all in role-play, sans NB-NT run. However, I get pirated very little. I welcome the occasions when I do get caught, because either:

1. I've been caught napping
   
2. Its a new indy pirate i've not met yet
   
3. I'm too cheap to hire escorts unless ABSOLUTELY necessary
   
4. No escorts are available at the time
   
5. The pirate logged on in a system in front of me, and I didn't check the chat-list (you just can't do it everytime someone logs on - you'd crash into every solar out there)
   

I have always thought - If you're getting pirated, you're not doing it right. Same goes for smuggling too.


Fozzie, if you need some Hints, Tips and Advice on trading your way to 2Bn, send me a PM.
