Are Pirates getting dumber?

[Zelot]

True story. You just described exactly where I trade. If Colorado has a pirate, I go to the Sigmas. If the Sigmas have a pirate, I go through either Kepler or Galileo, depending on which side has pirates. For some reason, though, everyone and his mother takes Galileo. Why? It's beyond me. It seems that there has been fewer independent solutions presented and more "Everyone should be nicer". I don't like it.

And then, of course, there's the part where pirates do catch people, and instead of RP with the person (which is really your best chance at survival), a trader whines or just asks "How much." Worst way to get rid of a pirate ever. Because of RP, I've always been able to escape or the Police have gotten there and I got away or I've dropped the price substantially. This solution is never presented to a trader anymore, either. It's just "Pirates should be nicer".

Irking.
