Trading - Brainstorming Changes

[Gemini893]

people keep moaning and groaning about what they call "loltraders". what about "lolpirates" that demand ridiculous amounts of credits because they mistakenly think all traders are worth hundreds of millions?

Then they cry because a trader says "kill me, it's cheaper". DUH

Anyhoo, on topic: One thing that would definitely help is to banish gunboats from ships people can use for pirating. IT IS called a cap ship in that you're not allowed to ram it to cripple it but it's NOT called one as far as pirating. This never made sense to me. Either it's a cap ship and, therefor, should be disallowed for piracy or it isn't one and you can ram the sucker.

hmmm, another idea given to me by the Salvager ship...If you insist on pirating with a gunboat, restrict the shield to lower than class 8. max of class 7 if using for piracy.
