Piracy: ok or not?

[JakeSG]

They can shoot the trader before making a demand, which now that you mention it some may interpret as their engagement notice...

Either way, it's bad form and achieves little else than pushing for the trader to continue running, ergo earning them the blue message. Oh how I'd wish they'd stop that garbage. Really, some pirates have no right to whine about 'Linerspam' if they're going to play hard ball like that.

As for the Xeno, I'm not so sure how they do it. They can't demand credits but they're against foreign trade, so I imagine if you're a foreignor or carrying foreign goods they might give you trouble.
