Quick Rhetorical Question

[Skaebo]

Why does it seem like as SOON as I get a SLIGHTLY better ship, every time I try to use a trade lane or turn a corner, some thug's asking for free handouts or he'll blow me up? I mean, I've given to them all, and now I have 9k. 9 measly thousand credits! LITERALLY every time I hit a trade lane... "interrupted" and someone's saying gimme gimme. It's gotten to the point now where I just have to sit there and let them blow me up bc I have NOTHING. I don't even have countermeasure bots or bats, I can'r afford them anymore... I can't even make it out of Liberty territory anymore... Maybe if I had a chance to mine, I could make some money to GIVE to MUGGERS. But I can't, so I don't, so I get blown up. "HALT, give me 1mil to pass, or i see you only have 9 thousand credits... drop your weapons for me to pick up." It's almost gotten to the point where I don't even want to play anymore... Sorry, I just needed to complain to someone, and I didn't know where to do it...
