@ Evil_Joker: Um - the only way I could pirate Tau 31 the way you say the Corsairs Benitez do is to violate RP. I have no access to Taiidan Bombers or Coladas, so your argument here is mute. Seems the only solution you have totally disregards any kind of RP. And I kinda prefer the Soylent Green theory (ie: for those too young to understand ... it means food).
@ globalplayer-svk: That's because you are Corsair and have Taiidan bombers with Coladas and Novas. Try doing it as a Rogue or a Molly. You need actual skill and teamwork to get it done. a simple shot of 4 Coladas and 2 Novas up the tail pipe turns just about anything into swiss cheese in a couple shots. It doesn't take much skill to do that.
@ Duke nuke'm: Exactly.
I'll sure be glad when Tau 31 is nerfed. Today alone I found at least 6 traders doing this run. That's 6 traders that used to run New Tokyo to New Berlin or Cambridge to Theta. Most all the common trade routes have died down because of this cash farming run.
