' Wrote:My Rules of Piracy - Given that its basically all I do now.
Is it less that lvl 50 - if yes - let it go
Is it trying to run, even when ive asked it not to - if yes- increase price
Has it said anything inRP ? - if no, double price, if yes- keep RPing.
Note: I HATE it when a trader just goes "wat you want?" while trying to cruise. Doing that will lead to much much larger demands. Lessons for Traders :
-Dont keep trying to cruise away
-ALWAYS RP, preferably in local (/l Chat)
Failure to follow those simple rules == Massive Demands.
Kudos for placing a minimum level on your pirating.
Running is what a Trader is going to try and do, it's your job to make them stop, if the Trader doesn't try to run then they aren't being serious about it. If you think about it, it is almost NOT RP to not try to run.
If you try to stop me, the reaction you are going to get is going to be, as you put it, "What do you want?" while I'm hammering the cruise key.
This is in character for a Trader or it is for MY Trader.
If a Trader is stopped by a Pirate, they are going to try and get away. They will be grumpy about being knocked out of cruise/trade lane, so they are going to be abrupt with their language.
Time = Credits to a Trader, especially if they have 'perishables' aboard.
I'm not saying your rules aren't good.... for you, but they won't be rules that a lot of Traders are going to want to follow.
I *may* kill my engines, but there is a pretty good chance I will have been under thrusters, so even if I stop, I will have some 'drift' happening.
Don't get uptight about the fact that I'm drifting, just be happy that I'm not actively maneuvering to place you under all of my guns at the same time. :laugh:
