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

You know... Problem are not the Miners. Problem are the Miners & Traders.

I flew around Dublin for a while on my Merc, and you know what was the most common reply I got to my attempts to Roleplay?

"// u merc id u cant pirat"

I dare say 90% of the Miners or Transports I ran to said this, either in Local or System. And from those, At least Half started flaming, insulting or Rule-Lawyering me either in System or PM after getting killed. I've got re-engaged by the same Angry Miners just too many times to count, and I've seen them breaking so many Rules I wont even bother mentioning.

So, If I don't see any hints of Roleplay from a Miner at the very beginning, I'll just treat it as a lolwut, even if it turns out to be Alt of an Admin.

You're Crying about loosing one third of your Profit to a Pirate, but what you're Not mentioning is that how much effort did you put in Roleplaying with that Pirate? Just because you can type in Local doesn't mean you should be treated as a 1337RP3r, so you can't expect a Pirate to sit and tell you fairy tales while you bash the Cruise button and try to run to closest Base.

Each Group have their own types of lolwuts, the Pirates who go "20milRdai" and the Traders who say "kill me i hav no ting 2 looze ))" But that doesn't mean a Pirate shouldn't be able to make a 50mils Demand If He has a Good InRP Reason to do so!

I actually charged a Trader 38millions once, while his Cargo was barely worth 3.5mils. You know why? Because I started my demand at 1 million, and told him I'll add a million to it for every time he tries to activate his Cruise. And he didn't say a single word until he went Boom, and then he started flaming me in PM. Go figure!
