Does RP even matter?

Silly man, Everyone knows traders have no sense of humor.

Besides the obvious.

Pirate: Hey trader, do you know a good joke?
Trader: 4.86!

Now, that would be OORP

BaconSoda explanation why pirates are d.... some times

Well I understood BaconSoda pov but this kind of behavior is leading to a very pissed off trader. You say you trade also, what will you do when a pirate ask for 5mil when you carry oxygen? (right, you will pay and put a bounty...) Mind you, if the pirate request would have been FAIR I would gladly pay but in this case...sorry. How about 10 mil? (still not sanctionable I suppose, pirate is indeed a d....)


I understand what the OP was talking about, in majority of the cases even if you are nice and you try to RP and to lower the sum requested by the pirate that doesn't get you nowhere. That's why because there are so many d.... pirates around you don't care anymore: if the sum is fair you pay, if it is not...kill me, I don't care.

It's easy to say " What is your life worth", with that line the trader/miner should pay any sum, even some astronomical ones.

Sorry, personally if the sum is fair I pay if it is not I won't.

In your pirate head you always see a power trader who wants money for a BS. I am playing for 1 year now (rarely but still) and I don't want/have any GB, BS etc. I just want some fun with my trading ship.
