Wow, how do you guys pirate nowadays? Shoot lanes and wait for things to stop?

No.

Smart pirates would....

...have sombody take a lane down in a place that is not where the main action is going to be, to bait the police away to some remote location, chasing ghosts, while the main group are off having a jolly old time.

I'm perfectly okay with this idea. Heck, pirates could have a ball by entering cruise by a bunch of tradelanes, engine killing at 350 speed and then just taking down ALL the tradelanes in a strip.

see above, that would be baiting (rather blatantly) to get the police to go to a location desired by the pirate, the police will have to work out if its a hoax or not, just like the pirates will have to learn to be more crafty in response.


problems i can see with this include, all the other times a lane is disrupted, say by a trader to cover their own backs when they exit a lane, or by a escort who drops a nuke to cover a trasport rear as he enters the lane after it.

could resort to over spam.. but i still think this is a good idea worthy of pursuit.
