Traders and Fair Play

[BaconSoda]

The situation you describe is indeed crazy. The point of a pirate is not to break a trader, as most people think, but rather to take your livelihood from the trader while allowing the traders to thrive and continue. Of course, this is a normal pirate, not an idealist, so, that is rather general. This doesn't belittle the fact that, as the #1 money-making tool, trading attracts, well, everyone. Unfortunately, it seems that most traders are less than courteous. I mean, the last time I considered that someone didn't have the three million credits I demanded from his Mastodon, it turns out he really had an excess of five million ready to be sent at me. Not too nice to lie like that, 'eh? Not too nice to continue drifting when told to stop and chat, either. Or how about what people won't leave Trade Lanes?

Really, now, I can understand pirates becoming nasty, but, there is a certain point where the RP rivalry goes too far. If you find a pirate like that, and continue going on the same run while he's still on, though, I daresay, no sympathy. ;)

There are two runs for a Liner. One of them is a back and forth (and hence probably metagaming, since Xoria has something against back and forths). The other goes through California.

VIPs (Luxury Liner Shetland) --> Planet New Berlin (149.6 cr/s) or Planet Baden Baden (127.6 cr/s)
Luxury Food (Planet Stuttgart) --> Luxury Liner Shetland (132 cr/s)

I don't think you're looking hard enough. :P
