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

[Stoat]

Been here over two years and have never been successfully pirated. I don't trade a lot, but enough to be a target. If you are clever about your trading then you'll be able to avoid the pirates, whatever you are hauling, and where ever you are hauling it to.

Piratical demands should relate to the cargo carried. Loads of high value cargo (eg silver ore), expect a high demand. Low value cargo (eg food, water etc) expect a low demand. If I catch you when you're empty you can still expect to pay me something. Your ship has value after all. All the traders who bitch about getting pirated when they're empty and it being OoRP need to remember that. Demands should NEVER be based on the level of the trader being pirated, and will never be when I'm doing the piracy.
