Taxing rates

Then he blows you up for being a smartass.

Quality RP there.

You're telling me you see a lvl 88 flying in a Percheron (2600 cargo), you're going to pirate him for 5-10m based on lvl?

How 'bout a lvl85 Camara? Hmm?

What I have noticed, and kudos to all of the pirates starting to do this, is that prices are coming down. I've been "taxed" for 500k, 750k, etc., of which I'll gladly pay. 2m is a lot of money. I'm sure you'll get three traders who'll pay 750k apiece than one that'll pay 2m, both parties have a decent encounter, and the pirate makes out ahead (Do the math).

@Ivan. You're probably one of the premiere pirates on the server since Phate hasn't been around of late, and I like the way YOU do things. I've met the Mentira many times, and most times I've gotten away with at least 3/4 of my cargo. You can't preach the right way to people not willing to give up their egos in favor of helping the server as a whole. Don't let it get you down.

@OP. Keep at it. Mining is tedious, but so is trading if you don't have someone(s) to go with. Unless you're like me and enjoy the solitude of space. Don't let one (or two, or three) bad experience(s) get you down.
