Newbie here with questions

Hello all, Nice to meet you and Im loving the community so far. However I have some questions.

1. Im a Freelancer/Smuggler who also deals with normal trading from time to time. My Question is about pirate attacks. On 2 different days, the same Pirate Player attacked me. Now Im fine with that, even paid some ransom to other players. However this player, who, well lets just say his name starts with removed - Is a little trigger happy. Both times I was destroyed by him I was never given a "halt" or demands. Matter of fact, both times I was being shot at before the little animation movie of me exiting the gate had finished. As soon as I got control of my ship back I was blown up. Afterwards he says he made demands. What course of action can I take? Shouldnt he have to wait till im even loaded into the zone to make the demands so i can see them being made?

2. The only rep i have green is freelancer, however its not flashing, does that mean i still show up with a freelancer tag?

3. How many CD's can 1 fighter have? I dropped about 30 countermeasures and one pirate still had plenty of cd's to fire at me.

4. Are there any good Smuggler groups to join? I would love to work with some other smugglers and trade routes and smuggling tips.

THanks for your time.
