If you want to pirate a Zoner, go for it, but at least have the decency to allow them to RP it out. I was on my LPI a while back, and a transport full of Cardamine came into view of Manhattan. I ordered him to stop, and he gave me such a hilarious reason of that the cardamine was for Outcast prisoners on the surface to help them wean off the drug, that I let him go.
If you pirate a transport that does more than just runs or shoots at you or "piss off" at you, then why don't you give them a chance? Value RP over credits.
