You might be right. Piracy is a danger that must be accepted.

What Im against is your reason for doing so. Basically, what youre saying is that you think its boring to fly around, so now you want a bit of fun. And you get this fun by bullying other players
Profile even admitted that money was not the issue. And D-O-S said that the purpose was to terrorize other players. I mean, what the *bib* is that for a purpose? To be as mean to others as possible?

You say that I can simply fly another route. True, but even then Im not safe. Youre saying that any legal target can expect to be engaged and destroyed on sight by any member of the Battleship Terror group. So, am I expected to constantly keep an eye on the users online menu, trying to figure out where you are and where you might be going? If I fail to do so, I run the risk of having a very unpleasant (and probably short) encounter with a capital ship.

Also, xit had a good point earlier on, about blockading planets. What if Im on one of those planets youre currently blockading? What chance do I have of getting away? You, the Battleship Terror group, can effectively shut down an entire system. Wheres the fun in that for us traders?

My point is: this might be fun to you, but not to me. If you think that fighting is fun, then why dont you simply leave traders alone? When I get a ship of Gunboat class or larger, Id happily indulge and give you some fun read: a fight. But until then, please leave me to my business
