Rorry's Renegades

[Diomedes]

Renegades wont be making 'reasonable demands' our demands will be either a more well Role Played version of 'drop your cargo' OR if the cargo can't be sold somewhere nearby for a good price, then we'll give a 'reasonable' demand...
This, you may say, is unfair. BUT I SAY, it'll make traders use escorts, because then, a freelancer will be cheaper than just paying the pirate's 'ever-so-reasonable' demands. This gives EVERYONE, pirate/traders/miners/freelancers more to do ingame. IMHO

Your point is well made and I tend to agree with you. To clarify my meaning, I meant that your demands have to be reasonably doable by the trader to avoid run-ins with the rules; stiff or harsh demands are fine. Demanding all cargo in RP is good, there should be more cargo piracy IMHO. Demanding 50 million off someone who can't possibly pay it, or that the captain give up his life/convert to your cause (these are ones I ran into conceptualizing a marauder character) are things that won't go over well and the first at least violates server rules. These demands are either blue-message searching or borderline powergaming.

So, harsh is good, but not undoable.

All in all though, it looks like things will be well in hand. Happy hunting.
