A request to pirates

[Mickk]

This is just a small rant but as a good percentage of veterans keep poofing cause of things like
this I want to just ask a small request of the pirates that stop traders.

More RP less pew pew!

Is that so hard?

Like seriously I stop every time for pirates and try to talk to them have a little RP conversation with them
and I get shot at cause Im not giving you your money. Like really whats your problem! Im going to pay you
instead of making it harder and giving you nothing!

All you indy pirates. I MEAN ALL! need to learn to RP cause I have yet to find a non faction pirate that RPs.

Read your post, had a look at a few of the other posts. So many pages in such a short time.

As far as RP goes, well, I'm not so good at it.

The thing is, as some pirate players have probably already posted, pirates have X amount of time to do their thing, depending on where they are.

Some pirates have fallen foul of the 'chatty trader' who is yelling for help via other comms.

I don't expect much from a pirate as far as RP goes. More than '2millordie' but less than, 'How is your family doing mate?'.

The best one was ages ago in Bretonia I think it was. I was basically 'held up' and asked to make a 'donation'.

The worst one was very recently, where I had half my hull shot away before the pirate tried to open a TRADE exchange after asking for a million dollars.
Haven't used the 'trade' screen for ages, so I shut it down... TWICE. Then he blew my hull away again (I had used bots to restore), but stopped firing after I told them I was doing a 'givecash'.

Yep, pirates happen, if you are a trader you *WILL* come across a pirate at one point.

The funniest thing I'm seeing currently are the people who are naming their ships <insert name>_trader.
It's like waving a flag and saying 'come get me pirates!'. :crazy:
