' Wrote:This. If I'm pirating, i pirate for the rp. Most I'll ask for is 2 mil. And ya, if someone is charging more than 5 mil, they're no pirate. They just give us real pirates a bad name.
Wrong.
No such thing as pirating for RP. (in this case RP meaning little cash)
people asking for 5 million ? is wrong ? YOU are wrong my friend. It's all based on the character, what kind of character, a greedy one, or one that pirates just for the sake of making peoples lives' harder than they already are, there are many reasons and variants to pirating. And do not mix up RPing with talking.
Talking =/= RPing
Robbing people based on your character = RPing
There's no damn limit to how much you ask. It's all based on your character and whatever you're pirating. For example, I've had many pirate characters, some asked for a donut or something, some asked for your cargo and some credits, one of them for most of your cargo. Then I had this total jerk who'd rob you 3 times in 2-3 different systems.
As for the topic,
If they all paid, pirates would get confident and ask for more and more until the traders go mad and stop paying all together, in the end we'd have more pirates than before, and when the traders stop paying, pirates will be hunting for blue messages since the player put in all that time ot make the pirate character, he'd want something out of it.
So yes, it'd get worse, it's more fun this way when you don't know what the trader/miner is gonna do, it's all actually based on what the pirate is doing or what he's robbing the trader of.
