Hyperinflation.

[tansytansey]

I usually ask for 500k from traders. If they're in a small boat, like the Perch I pirated today, I'll only ask 100k or even less. I'm always opened to being haggled down, too. The only time I ask for 1mil or more is if I catch a max cargo transport, and Adv. Train or one of the Super Transports.

So, if you want cheaper pirate fees, swing by California and be pirated by the Rogues!

But really... 500k won't even up my bomber with Ammo if its' empty. So if I lose even one fight, I'm down on profit already. Not that I ever die, but usually I have to sundive or get an ally to kill me once we've finished fighting.

And lastly, Fozzie, don't assume that all Pirates are heartless bastards. And we're not lazy, either. We work damn hard to squeese the credits out of stingy traders with the exact same thought pattern as you. We kill more traders than we pirate, because most of the time they don't even attempt to RP, they just run until we get fed up and kill them, or they shoot us without a word. You're right, we don't pirate for the credits. We pirate for the roleplay, and most of the time, we get neither. We pirates bring the spice into your boring, tasteless gruel that is trading. Because, believe it or not, you too are roleplaying when you are trading, also.
