Pirating is ruining my game experience

[Foror]

The " Get Some Escorts " line is beginning to get to me

There are no Escorts- Everyone is a pirate now.

Why be an escort when you can be a pirate?

I too normally do not mind the occasional pirating- but I was pirated 5 times in 5 systems yesterday. 3 mil for 4 of them- then the final one demanded 3/4 of my cargo. Making the whole run pointless

I Cant arrange an escort everytime I want to do a trade run- and its not like they are floating around th be hired. It takes massive forward planning to have an escort for all your runs.

well, for one thing, most people are mining in begining area's where people love to be- just because a system is conveinient to you, doesnt mean its the best place to be- chances are its the same for pirates.

also- to an extent, you face a higher chance of not running into one using a main route unless they happen to be camping that rout.learn who the pirates are and know what your rout does, take the long way if u must.

also, well known routs are the mostlikely to be camped by pirates, for example, Penns helium route. this is a very very dangerous place to mine.best to pay up and move on-

most of the time, for a pirate thats good at fighting, they already have an alternate source for money. so they are likely in it for the RP.

that being said, it may be possible to talk your way outa a situation.

another thing to keep in mind for trade and mining routs, is the identities and iff of your ship- if you are iff'd with the lsf for example, you are likely to get stopped in kusari or any other system that doesnt want lsf presence in there. contact unter that can some times prove to be a hastle. even though you have an id as a freelancer, merc or mining, remember the first thing people see is your iff.

if yer nice to pirates and share dialogue with them, and befriend them, they might grow a habit of letting u off- especially pirates like phil tinks- for sure, he's in it for the rp, and he really gets into character. its always a good time
