In regards to piracy

[Bazza]

This is however a topic for another day; this is turning into more a debate about the difference between tolls/protection payments and actual piracy - the hijacking of cargo. There are very few real pirates out there and rather a lot of mafioso gangs demanding protection money/tolls - I'd like to see more pirates in all honesty, as I suspect a pair of transport ships having a fight would be rather a lot of fun and would leave a lot of time for excellent roleplaying whilst combat ensues.

I wish to put my hand up as one of the "real" pirates, of sorts. Depending on the cargo and the nearest unlawful sell point myself and the group that I'm with currently (often LR- or misc. indy pirates) will demand cargo over the credits. Also in the case of trying to run, static and/or lolwuttery, their cargo finds itself within Alsatia.:)It then goes to the nearest pirate base for processing.

It disappoints me how many ooRP dunces we encountered pillaging and plundering the Liberty satellite systems (Cali, Colo, Texas). Even got the famed "cant pierat for more than ship's price) But that, to borrow a quote, is a topic for another day.
