Pirating

[DearMatthew]

To further expand, they have decent weapons, and if you ever try to pirate someone who's experienced, or is stubborn/ calling for backup, they are a good choice to scare the said person into paying. It's a viable option for intimidation.

In my opinion, asking for cash makes more RP sense. I'm going to start RP'ing the transfer of cash through "accounts" like banks essentially.

i.e. "Transfer 2mil from your bank account now. Comply, and this can be non-violent."

I don't believe in the said "well it's RP to take cargo." Yes, I do take cargo sometimes in my Slave Liner, but otherwise, cash is good to ask for, because it buys all the necessities.

I'm actually being drawn in by the concept of taking cargo and selling on bases to make a profit. Great RP, only problem is that you have a short supply of bases to sell it at.

Asking for cash is perfectly good RP, because in essences, it is the universal good that can obtain all others. Besides, it allows traders to continue on with their run and make money to carry on. Take their cargo just leaves the trader in a worse position. You can make far more profit asking for money, then taking cargo in terms that the trader actually makes a little. They just do the work for you.

Forgive me if that example is poorly worded. I hope you got the point though.

Edit:
>You take 2 mil from trader
>Trader continues run and makes 4mil
>Trader buys goods for 1mil and makes 3 mil
>Stop the trader again, take 2 mil: now the trader made only 1mil
>They stop again. Trader makes 4 mil again.
>Buys goods for 1mil and has 4mil in profit
>You pirate and the Trader has 2mil in profit

See what I'm getting at?
