There should be a Limit to Piracy, Why ? Because as mang109 said,
Quote:There are no Escorts- Everyone is a pirate now.
why would you even think about getting a Miner/Trader when you can easily get a P-Transport and camp NewBerlin and ask an Adv. Train to Drop all his Cargo while you are shooting him?!
And you are 64mils Richer in 5mins, while mining that ore takes 50mins!
And, I completely disagree about that 'Get Escorts' Idea, why should I do it if all the Pirates Believe in Fair Play ?
Pirates asking for more than 5mils are ruining Server Gameplay cause they try to make money by Pirating.
(Yes, I make huge amounts of money by Pirating, and I never ask for more than 2mils from a 5k Transport. But my main goal when I jump on my Pirate char is to have some good RP, and I dont mind loosing 8 Fat Traders while RPing with a lvl38 Rhino that has just started to learn what RP is)
Once I paid a Pirate 50mils, And I was glad, because we had 90 mins RolePlay on my Zoner Trader before we got to "Ok now give me the money" part and he only asked for 500k although he could see I was lvl90!
Now, Why should I play along with someone who asks for 64mils with only 1 line of what is hardly called 'RP' ?
Getting Escorts means supporting how those "20milRdai" pirates want to Play, I for one, Will Not do that.
(And believe me, Getting Escorts is nothing hard for me, I can easily gather 10 Escorts in 5min and then I leave to NewBerlin and Gank every single Pirate on my way so hard that they bleed. But, Is it how we should Act in a ROLEPLAY server ? And when I see many supporting this lame idea of 'Get Escorts', I can only think of 1 thing; thats funny ... really funny ...)

I have 4 Xeno chars, And i've never asked for more than 10% of cargo even in those chars. Is that a good enough reason for you that being a Xeno doesnt mean "all ur cargo R dai"
(actually I once killed a Large Train in my roc, but that was because the lolwut abused the fact that I was trying to RP with him, and SpeedDocked with the lane when I was typing, and then was spamming like "lol u cant cach me! XD" in system chat, So I took the other lane, cut him down and told him to drop all his cargo and leave, he didnt, so I shot him down after 25secs. But thats not what I do everyday)
P.S: To Make things Clear, I completely support Pirates with Good RP, cause I wont get bored if I have 2 nice RP with some Pirates and give away a few mils during each trade run. But personally, I think pirates who dont give a Candy about RolePlay and are only lookin forward to the Green Msg of "You received 20.000.000 credits from RP-Seeking-Trader" are those who should leave this community and head to a PvP server where they wont even have to Type "2milRdai"
