Galatic Announcement

[xit]

What about all those people that will now get terrorized and killed unless they pay up?
It's pure and utter extortion.

For me it isnt such a large problem since I already got the money for a battleship, and can just stop trading. But that still doesnt mean that Im safe from being attacked; well I might get a little safe when I get the battleship, but not really before.

Call me old fashioned if you want, but I prefer challenging people before attacking them, and if they refuse I accept it and leave them be. :sleep:

Worst part is I had until now seen the Battleship Terrors as rather friendly people, and I wouldnt have minded challenging them for a duel (when I had gotten my battleship that is :P), but now I dont really know what to think of them. :(

I can see a couple of things that might happen now:

1 People will pay up, the Battleship Terror will get richer. But eventually the Battleship Terror might get bored without no-one challenging them, and they change plans and get even more terrorizing.

2 A lot of people will simply quite playing on the server, because they wont accept such rude behaviour.

3 People will find alternative traderoutes, and the Battleship Terror will just move to new regions to terrorize.

4 People will take up the fight, and create some sort of alliance to rid themselves of the terror.

The last thing would actually be quite fun, since then the Battleship Terror wouldnt be able to just hang around and bully everybody, then they would actually meet coordinated resistance, and peaceful traders would at least get some sort of safety. :D

Regarding the Sims thingy: no.
