A newbies first week

Alright, some advice from someone who is a fairly recent addition to the pirate crowd, a long-time trader, and experienced member of the community. If a trader threatens to sanction you, think for a second. Here's what they could possibly get you on:

1) Have you made a demand of money or cargo before attacking and given them a reasonable ammount of time to respond? If so, they can't get you for that.

2) Do you have an ID that allows piracy? Are they actually a trader? (I'm pretty certain you do. That'd be pretty obvious)

Those are really the only things to keep in mind for piracy. Now, they might be able to sanction you for something else, but those are the only ones really related to te deed. Make sure you don't use any ships or equipment that wouldn't work with each other, your tag, or your ID, essentially, and you should be fine. Keep in-character and don't rules lawyer back, as well. If you do all of the above, they can't getcha. Lots of noobish traders will just threaten a sanction, but just ignore them. Empty bravado, for the most part.
