Pirate etiquette

[... kur nubėgo?]

Firstly, you don't need setmsgs. Give your piracy a little flair and try to use different messages each time. No only does it help liven up your RP, but the traders as well.
Secondly, make 500k your maximum asking price for the average trader, 250k for smaller transports, and 100k for even smaller ones, and don't pirate anything under 2000 cargo often. Just tell them they're too small, and tell them to shoo. If someone in a low-end transport gives you some great RP, reward them, send them back their credits once they're out of sight and say thank you. We want to encourage RP interaction between traders and pirates. Piracy isn't a way to make money, it's all about the roleplay.
Should you catch someone with 4000+ cargo, feel free to ask 1-2 million credits from them.
Thirdly, never pirate in a Gunboat. Traders respect smaller ship better, I've earned twice as many credits in my Greyhound than I have in my Barghest and Falcata combined.
If a trader gets away from you, don't pursue them to the ends of the earth. They've escaped fair and square, turn around and head back to the lane, there's plenty more traders to catch. The bad guys don't have to win every time.
If you see a lawful, any lawful at all, turn yourself around, engage your cruise engines and get the hell out of there. If you're not running away from an LPI Patriot, you're doing it wrong. Remeber, lawfuls always have back-up right around the corner, and you don't. you're alone out there and once you're engaged it's harder to escape. Better to run before the fighting starts and come back once it's all clear.
When being pursued, do not lead any one back to an unlawful base. It doesn't help the RP of a hidden base to remain hidden if you lead the Police and Navy back there every time you run away. Head for the nearest Freeport or Zoner base.

-Piracy, the Liberty Rogue way.

Hmm and what the piracy will be?.. I dont really understand. What kinda a stupid rp youll have if you pirate 1 percent ofyour current profit? Why trader should be afraid in the first place?... That causes no reactions.

And I saw .. terrible words written "Piracy shoudn/t be profitable"... your kiddin me? What fool in rp would risk his life pirating then its not profitable? Personaly I like to make money atleast enought to maintain my chars. Yes I hate trading, so I rather wont play a character in which I can't roleplay becouse I'm forced to do it since I am in lack of money. I'll simply roleplay for money.

You like this way. Do it. But do not force others to do it.


And agian. Trading shoudlnt be always profitable.
