It is a role-play server. I think i've been caught by a pirate a coupple of times (As Kane, my trader) since i've been here. I don't remember one of them, but I do remember Cardimine. He disrupted the tradelane and said "Give me 1 million credits and i'll spare your life." I handed over the million.
On that run, I easily compensated for the loss. Ney Tokyo wasn't far away from me, and I only lost 1 out of the 6 or 7 I get from selling Diamonds on New Tokyo. I really don't understand why some traders feel the need to be miserly, especially when they could have given 4 or even 5 million and still made a profit. It blows my mind. It really does.
Some of you can run, and that's fine. But landing at the clostest station and complaining about how you have no money is not fine. That's just sad. Me? I plan on being cooperative; they don't ask for a lot, and it saves me from some trouble.
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
