With your outcast-don't-pirate-me bit, you're actually better off than the vast majority of us. For example, I've had more than a few runs where I've come out of it with a loss of 10 or so million. That's the cargo, and paying off the hordes of pirates, and then losing the cargo to yet another pirate. These days, trade lanes are for pirates, not traders. Deal with it.
Edit: Ontopic: Not experienced this corruption(?) first hand, but I know it is indeed there. Sad but true.
Excuse me, but are you seriously that gutless? This game is about having fun, not being royally buttraped. TRADERS EXIST TO MAKE MONEY. I AM NOT HAVING FUN IF I AM NOT MAKING MONEY. I don't mind paying a few pirates, but two or three a run (or tripling my run time by avoiding lanes) is not enjoyable. Fair Play applies to traders, too, if I have to respect it for the bomber whores. If I start losing huge amounts of money when I'm obviously trading for a reason, then it's the pirate's fault, not mine. Simply put, excessive piracy is griefing, and I don't like griefers.
