' Wrote:The "Take what you can and destroy the rest" approach has a logical flaw too. If you kill the chicken, it stops laying eggs. In the long run it pays better to take only a part and let the trader go, so you can rob him again in the future.

Exactly the point.

Last time I was on, there was a Pirate in NY working almost exactly that approach.

They were working in tandem with a pirate transport and the demand, even though very much in RP was along the lines of 'drop your cargo', followed by some spirited RP where said Trader has checked how big the pirates hold was and dropped that much, not realising that they had to drop thier WHOLE cargo...

While I watched most of the drama unfold on comms, I was thinking to myself...is that trader coming back to NY ever again?

My answer would be...not unless the absolutely have to and I'd be keeping a log of the pirate's name as well.

Another tip for easy pirating: Keep your pirate name reasonably short! The longer the your name is, the longer it is going to take to get the cash to you and people sometimes make spelling mistakes....

Mickk: One orginal, 4 clones. Telp..teleh....mind comu...comi..come...talking ability.
A possibly very ordinary signature coming soon.
