Pirates & Traders

[Stoat]

"picked up my cargo which cost me 1/2 a mil, "
That's the bit that annoys me, as a pirate. What self respecting pirate is going to base his demands for payment on what a trader paid for his goods. The ONLY thing that has any factor on a demand is what you might make from the SALE of those goods.

Getting hit by three pirates for 1.2mill apiece is a little bit steep. Although, if you're in a big transport hauling valuable goods, I can see 3.6mill being at the upper levels of what can reasonably be asked. That is of course, just the opinion of one pirate. Other pirates may well disagree with me.

Piracy is part of the environment. If you're worried about getting hit, hire escorts or travel in groups or plan your route to avoid the bad guys.
