Heh, I'm with Unknown on this one. Yesterday I was inbound to the Colorado system to mine some silver...but as soon as I entered I saw Mon'Star fighting a couple others, (figuratively) roaring over the systemwide comm: "HAHA! Come, come!"
Eugene turned his crappy shuttle around as quick as he could and left, and warned everybody in New York to be wary if they entered Colorado. And he had to go find some other trading to do - it was awesome. Y'know, like, "Ahh! It's Mon'Star! Run while you can!" XD
At the time, I was level 28, but now that Eugene has a Camara I'm 32...yep. Time to flee! =P
That said, I think it's also important that not EVERYONE is a crazed madman. Most pirates aren't. It's great to have some for flavor, but not everyone. Fortunately, I don't think that's a real problem here.
