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

[Rudo]

I ask for what I think I'll get. It's all dependent on a myriad of factors:

- the faction of the vessel I'm hitting. if I find a Hogosha smuggler on my Junker, there's a price. If I find a BMM mining on my Molly, there's a price.
- the ramifications of the cargo and projected destinations in relation to my own played faction
- the value of said cargo and ease in selling it
- how close I am to being sniffed out and shot down by someone with the agenda and the hardware to do so
- the quality of interaction and general vibe of the player. rule-lawyering and ooc whining gets an automatic increase in the fare.
- how nice I'm feeling that day. this is the biggest factor of all. sometimes I just spook trade vessels to see if they'll stop.


Typically if I'm cargo pirating it's either a quarter to a third of the cargo or enough to fill a freighter if that's what I have. If I'm after cash it's anything from 500k for when law enforcement are on to my character and could be on the horizon any second, to 3 mil for those traders who silently cruise over and over when it comes to a 1 mil demand. Usually I just get all the cargo when that happens anyway.
