All you traders read this ....

It is quite simple, you are robbing me and I intend to lose as little credits as possible to you. I also intend to make it to my destination. Damage may stop me from making it to my destination and will cost extra credits.

After you CD me I stop. Fire an SN after I stop, go look somewhere else for your credits. Piracy is skilled diplomacy not showing off how big your guns are. If you want to do that, go find a lawful cruiser, it can put you out of your misery.

I am a Zoner, I am skilled in diplomacy, my entire faction is. I know how to make it so that piracy can work for both of us, so do not be a jerk and try to establish your manliness, ask politely, it will get you further.

But, if I have the guns, then I may use them to establish my superiority in the situation. Bluntly put, I have guns, you don't. In RP, I want piracy to work for me, and not necessarily you. Piracy is diplomacy, yes, but a large part of diplomacy is showing your enemy that you have the ability to cause harm and should thus be listened to. I do that, to little loss to you, what is the problem?

You got the first part right, I am robbing you. You will lose your credits and the progress you've made to your destination if you don't listen, and you'll lose your money if you do listen. Does that really help you accomplish your goals of making money? Not really, no. Neither does paying the pirate, strangely. This doesn't help your goal in RP goal of staying alive, as well.

All this over a loss of shield which costs you no monetary harm. I don't get it. I still RP, you still RP. I'm just RPing being rough. I'm sorry I have my own idea about how my own RP should be done.
