Pirate tax...

Actually, doing that gets you shot at.

Then again they shoot at you if you only drop 50 units too.

Theres no point in dropping the whole lot, only the one that hailed you will pick any up, and only the sabres and titans take about 50+ units.

The best way is to just ignore them, they have to drop outta cruise to shoot you, which is when they'll disappear off your scanner.

As for player pirates, they usually always ask for cash.

Though the number of greedy players with 200 million plus on their trader who refuse to hand over 2 or 4 million to be left alone is increasing.

It gets even worse when you consider the fact that their probably making 10 million + per trade run.

Maybe I should start blasting them again... the Desolator needs some target practice.

No demanding money or cargo, just shooting at them, then again most traders just base-camp when they trade route gets threatened...
