If you, the pirate would give your vitims some deacent pr, instead of "3mill ordie" + "engaging", you might get rewarded with some really nice play, after witch you still get to kill the transport...but oh yea ist mutch simpler to point at others and start crying.
The ones that don't roleplay are mostly the indie pirates. I for one always start conversations with the trader, but 9 out of 10 i get "how much you want, i'm in a hurry" (right after my first line of chatter, and while i didn't even mention anything about pirating yet). Since they're carrying perishable cargo or just want to make a lot of money really really fast. This all happens while they constantly engage cruise engines, even after you told them to stop for a scan. So, the roleplay has to come from two sides, not just one. Next time i'll just remove all their guns and stuff, then continue disrupting them until they decide to either f1, or dock.
