Yes, it sucks losing your cargo and getting fined by a lawful, especially in this economy, where the only thing that, as a trader, sucks more than your ability to get away from lone pirates and cops, are your profit margins, but let's face it, that's realistic. If you're in a ULCC hauling fifty million tons of crack cocaine into Boston Harbor and the DEA gets wind of it not only will your cargo be confiscated, your ship will likely be repossessed and you will be serving life (I imagine that hauling a full load of drugs in a ship like that could easily constitute crimes against humanity...) at the very least. We get off light in this game.

On the other end of the spectrum, profits are so poor that when a pirate takes his two million you just lost a huge chunk of your profits and are invariably hurting for cash unless you have at least a 4K transport (No, it doesn't count if all you're supporting are two fighters, a bomber and a Gunboat, you lazy sod, think big).
