Average pirate demand amount? Noticing a pattern here...

[silverleaf]

And just how high is very high? Because if its 5/6mil and talked down to 3/4, its high but I ain't complainin.
Just hate those 10mil or dai and they mean it. No 10mil in 10 seconds, boom.

Quite literally, heres how my interaction goes

*CD, shoot till shield gone, hull at 50%*
Pirate 'HALT'
*me halts*
What do we have here <some skip this step>, wot r ye carryin n where?
Me tells them 'Fish food sir, for terraforming on california'
*start shootin to deplete shield again*
10mil to pass
Sir I cannot afford that, maybe we can work something out? I have to feed my family -
*start shootin before I can finish*
10 MIL OR ELSE
At which point I decide if I'm close enough to my destination or not and if I should pay.

Some just come up, blast hull to near nothing, say 10mil to pass, shoot me with one gun continually and blow me up before I can even type out my first line.

But happening less now that I moved out of liberty and the south systems
