That route sucks. You are completely inviciable unless you get stormed by at least 3 gunboats or a really god awful driver is in your sights.
The admins should allow destoryers for that route :angry:
Yeah I thought about that chain, but plenty of players trade on open/major routes and will continue to do so with or without this thread and those high-profit short runs. Do you honestly think there are too few pirates or too few targets for the pirates? I don't see a lack of targets for pirates when I'm on and so I don't see much reason to make trading more difficult/tedious in that light.
Ah, and Al Capone, if you're reading this, I hope you and your piratical partner last night took my "behemoth model was based on your mom" and "up yours" comms as RP because they were 100% so. I enjoyed our encounter quite a bit, even paying your "tax". Reasonable pirates like yourselves make my trading life much more fun:)
