Pointless piracy...

[DarthCloakedGuy]

For all you traders saying your ships are defenseless, or dont have enough firepower, ask yourself one question... are you flying a 5000 unit transport? If the answer is yes, then you have answered your question. The 5000 unit transports are sitting ducks, and they are supposed to be.... you give up defense for all that cargo space. I have three trade ships, 2 BW trans and a Big Dragon, I can handle most lone opponents, whether is be taking on a bomber or fighter, or getting away from a GB. I give up cargo space for defense, thats the trade off that I make. I also have 2 Raba's and a Ptrans that I use for cargo piracy, so I know it doesnt take a bomber or gb to take down a transport. Balance your risk and reward when picking a ship to trade in, I advise against the Super Transports.

Yeah... if you're flying a Train and they're doing this... well, that's entirely your fault. Try flying a Container Transport or one of the others that sacrifices cargo space for butt-kicking and see how pirates respond.
