Safe way to trade?

[Mickk]

Stoat is dead right.

If you trade you WILL get pirated. Eventually.

The thing is, it won't happen every day and as much as I whine about pirates, they are part of the RP here and sometimes it can be sort of fun, in an RP sense.

Aside from that, when I'm in my Trader, being a little abrupt with pirates is very much RP.

Avoid TL's where you can, if a pirate disrupts the TL you are in, he has you dead to rights.

So it takes you a little longer, you aren't a powertrader right? RIGHT?

Find the jumpholes (NOT gates!) in systems you travel through, you can sometimes avoid pirates by using them from time to time.

Hand fly your Train or transport in heavy asteroid fields, use Ctrl-V to get to the cockpit veiw, you'll be surprised by how fast you can get through a large field that way.

Think in 3D.
You'd be surprised by the number of people that don't go too far up or down from the main plane of the systems.

Use the "Long Range Scanner" or your chat screen to check out who is in the next system you need to enter.
Sure it's not RP, but if you know there is a pirate there, you can plan to avoid them and you might even manage to get past them. :lol:
