Pirating

[ProwlerPC]

Agreed but through cause and effect in which the demands of majority of pirates will ensure that the losses will always be higher then if you had hired an escort. Such things are risky though as it can't reach a point where even hiring escorts will keep your funds barely over 0. Basically if a pirates cleans out traders of everything I tend to not mind, even when I'm the target. It's the nature of piracy and a danger of flying in space. If piracy demands are too low then there is no incentive to hire escorts if it's cheaper to just get caught by a pirate every once and a while and let yourself "die" (only to respawn again). The risk is that this kind of train of thought can run away on everyone and Disco loses all traders because a combination of unlawful piracy, lawful fines, and escort fees make money making a thing in the past and thus collapsing the engine in which all activity is born from.
