Decent Pirating

[Skorp]

I must say that I fully agree with Lohingren...

Example : trying to rob a large train yesterday, i called him by name and asked for a decent 100.000 to let him stay unharmed, mentioned also my little daughter who needs something to eat; he just said "No" and made a run for it, that's when the party started. All came at once :

a.) trying to stop the train to activate his cruise engines by firing a Hornet every 6-7 seconds
b.) shooting at the trade lane to stop him using it every 10 seconds
c.) evading 5 NPC police units who arrive thanks to the disrupted trade lane
d.) fiercely going after the train which uses its afterburners to get to the next trade lane

In the time I typed "this is your last chance, I'll open fire!" my shield failed and he managed to dock on the lane which worked again for 1% or so, ran to the next planet and quick-docked there.... and then I'm getting private messages from him about being duped by a merchant vessel ...

Well, I'll try to continue writing anyway :D
