Piracy

[Mickk]

I'm a Trader flying under a Freelancer ID.

I've been stopped or called upon to stop a few times in BOTH my trading vessel and my exploration vessel (a civvy bomber).

Once I killed a pirate in my Trader (a Bumblebee at the time) and then tractored all of his gear, which I then sold, it was enough to cover my repairs with a few k left over.
That was kind of exciting as he was dishing out some serious damage, but it's not something I can see happening every day.

I don't LIKE being pirated, don't expect me to be pleasant and rp nicely (I do rp, but badly), as a trader it's someone stealing my profit and no trader is going to be happy about it.
If I try to run or I return fire, don't expect me to talk, I'm going to be too busy trying to do 3 or 4 things at the same time :rolleyes:

The only thing I really hate is having to hand over what amounts to half (or sometimes more than half) of the profit I'm going to make on that leg of the trade route.

Ask for too much money and you are going to be killing the 'goose that lays the golden eggs', traders will go somewhere else to trade -or- pack it in and become a pirate themselves and soon there will be TOO MANY pirates and not enough traders to go around.
