Suppose it depends if we want pirates to hit tradelane traffic or to be restricted to jump holes and open space.

The turrets in Rheinland do hurt fighters and bombers at present...but, as I believe I have pointed out elsewhere, it's possible to avoid their fire by careful positioning.

That's totally true, Derkylos.

I think that you also have two types of pirates, though the line between them is not exactly crystal clear, or completely solid. One type "hits" independent traders who use Jump Holes, the other type hits corporation traders, usually because of some kind of vendetta or another. Most pirates are indiscriminate, and hit everything they see.

I guess that this may tip the balance towards pirates surrounding jump holes, but I still do not think that it's serious enough to to force pirates to stop targeting lanes all together.

But the most important thing that I believe should be pointed out is that targeting a major mode of transportation for pirating should not be easy, but not overwhelmingly difficult either for game issues. The trade lane guns, station guns, statcap guns, etc... should all be rebalanced to an amount that is acceptable, but still posing a challenge.

In a perfect world, traders stopped in trade lanes should be targeted for more money, and independent traders for less. After all, the corporations can pay for more losses than the indies. Besides, most corporations hire escorts to protect the traders.
