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

[Edmund.BlackAdder]

Average Tax: 2,5 - 3 million
Average Cargo: no average , because the demands had been to different (30% up to the whole cargo)


I don't complain about pirates asking for 500k or 1M, I pay at once.

But a demand of 3M for a cargo that is worth 500k and I'm stopped
nearby the station I picked my cargo (or even when I'm empty) seems
ridiculous (in my eyes).
On the other hand: If i'm close to the station my cargo is destinated for
I'm willing to pay that 4 or 5 M (cause I'll realize my profit in a short time).
I agree to OPG Ivan and other pirates that a trader shouldn't discuss
a demand of 30% of his cargo.
Some million credits if he's stopped with ore (especially in Tokyo) - no problem.
And, no doubt, if you are pirated near your destination, where you can
realize your profit, don't cry about 2 or maybe 4M (it depends on the profit),
but stopped far away from the destination I'm not ready to pay a foolish sum
(but, of course, to hand over my cargo) - it's not unusual to be pirated 2 (or more) times
on a single route between the Taus and Liberty (of course it's not usual, but it happens).
