Pirate etiquette

[DarthCloakedGuy]

The hooded thief - This is the person who sits at the routes, but stays silent and attacks their disrupted prey via private channels hoping not to scare off more prey. I place these as mainly players going for the wallet.

Players going for the wallet? Piracy is not a money-making venture, you typically spend more in CDs than you get anyways.

But any criminal with half a brain wouldn't advertise his presence to the entire system. He'd use local channels and his second demand (after stop) would be "don't touch that emergency beacon." He'd catch traders like a spider catches flies in a web. Besides, one word on the system channels and he'll be getting chased by a shoot first, RP later lolful shipswarm.

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.

Who says you can't use different messages each time using setmsg? Why not prepare a new one each time and have it ready in advance for meet the trader (and you don't want to use five CDs keeping him there while you type out your first line)?
