There needs to be a limit on how much Pirates can demand....

Escorts? Dont make me laugh. Puny little horseflies bite Type twos at an astounding rate.

We arent failing to see anything. Simple matter is, The Pirate makes his credits off the time and effort of others who would have prefered to not lose their money. Miners=/=Traders either, which some of you seem to be forgeting.

Why should you limit the money-gaining abilities of one job, but not the ones of the others?

But it is limited. By commodity prices, shipping times, and other factors. Although the msot important of these would be the free time the player has avalible. Player loses cargo, player loses free time, player loses his desire to play.

All the "GET ESCORTS" people fail to grasp that the escort needs to spend an equivalent amount of time escorting a trader does trading, and gets paid substantually less. Unless it is some RP fling for someone with so many credits that they wipe their exhaust with them, They are unlikely to come for a reasonable amount. Even if this is from someone with assloads of credits, they are likely to be more focused on their typing than on the lanes, which someone reduces their effectiveness. Furthermore, too many people put stock in the Scout's ability to kill the pirate, which is a highly unlikely circumstance, depending on the factions involved.
