Whats wrong with Powertrading?

[onca]

Power Trading is the essence of life on discovery.

no power traders, no money, no happy pirates, no cool battleship captains.

without power traders we would be lost.

This is correct. If you wanna fly anything larger than a HF, and if you want all the uberkewl codies and SNACs and even a friggin armor upgrade, i.e. if you wanna have any kind of chance in a PVP encounter, then you need buckets of money. Powertrading is a fact of life. Everyone does it. Period.

What cracks me up are the guys with these ridiculously grandiose names, like "Fire Demon Lord" and "Planet Crusher", who picture themselves as gigantic badasses going about terrorizing the galaxy with their awesomeness. But when you scan them they are all poncy trade ships, coz like that BS ain't gonna buy itself.
