Pirates - unreasonable price

[Arashi]

Just today I was flying my Atlas, carrying 4100 Cobalt ore, that goes for around 44mil for a hours worth of work and a 20 minute delivery trip.

A Hegemon (Name will not be stated, I already arranged inRP for them to receive special attention), parked itself in FRONT of a gate so that it's not possible to dock The gate without ramming him.

Then he demanded I drop my entire cargo.

1) A Hegemon doesn't hold 4100 cargo
2) It holds even less with Armor

I didn't bother really RP'ing with them, as it was totally unreasonable, and unacceptable, I'd have to do that 1 hour worth of mining (which I must do with friends, can't do alone, as a mafic only holds 140 cargo with UAU8 armor) again, and then the delivery run. So I would have no loss if he blew me up.

So my response to his demand was "No", and because he wasn't positioned quite perfectly I used my thruster and scraped past (didn't quite hit him) him to the jumpgate.

I know this counts as a PvP death but I was only delivering cargo. (BTW, I didn't mine anymore because I was tired). But still, it was unreasonable.. 3 - 6 mil (about 560 ore) and I'd have RP'd with them... 10 mil and I'd think about the RP if their attitude was right. But you try to take it all, in a ship that can't even hold it, and my response will be screw you everytime.


P.S. Question? in this case is it ok to ram a ship out of the way of the gate? He purposely put his ship in they way? Was he expecting that the rules state intentional ramming is against the rules? or am I reading that rule wrong?

EDIT:
After reading a few other posts, I'd have to say that asking for more than I stated above could still earn RP, if the attitude is right, specially as in the case above I was being polite because i thought the hegemon was trying to dock the gate, so i sat still and stayed back for almost 2 full minutes until I got the demand to drop all my cargo. They had plenty of time to start out the RP with more than a short sentence.
