Roleplay
Now lets be honest. A Pirate flying a futuristic technological war machine most likely having the firepower to bring a less defended society to its knees with weaponry to rival the rebel alliance and death star, in the hopes to "LolCredits and Cargo PLEASE" . Isn't exactly the contributing factory to Roleplay.
Transport when you think to common sense might not fly with an escort unless they are leaving the comfort of their House. House territories are suppose to be protected by these so called Armadas large enough to rage war with one another. If your telling me a pirate in his heavenly god power would fly there to pirate even near its forever watched borders. Something seems a bit wrong.
Escorts are meant to protect the trader from the pirate. Whether he is a lonely fighter or a gunboat crew looking for make some money. Pirates want a easy in and out without being spotted by local authorities there to prevent them from accomplishing their goal.
Scouts are meant to fly ahead of the Liberty BattleGroup to find where the Rheinland BattleGroup is hiding in the nebula some where. Not trying to seekout the Pirate dictator in his WMD loaded Prometheus.
Gameplay
Pew Pew Pew Pew, lets pretend to roleplay so I can blow you up for fun. Because your crummy 8 million is going to put some excitement in my day... Honestly if I had a cruiser or battleship I'm definitely rich enough to go take over a space station why bother robbing little transports.
Note: I love you guys - Change doesn't effect where I am - Just throwing it out there

So pirates are only in for lol (whatever that is) and all the others are in for RP (whatever that is)?
Pirates should have significantly inferior technology and shouldn't be able to pirate because space is protected by space armadas nor they have any reason to do that because they are rich enough.
Now how does flying safe in a well protected space fit in a concept of a space-shooting game?
