' Wrote:By having all of the traders cargo drop when you blow him up, you are removing the trader's choice; because either option, pay or run, results in the same outcome. 100% loss.

Sorry? How exactly is paying a percentage of the cargo price equals 100% loss? How is trying to run and get popped means a different loss to the trader depending on the amount of cargo the wreck drops? As I see all it influences is the income of the pirate - if he's able and manages to ship all loot away from the scene.

Well if the target isn't a Barge, noone really cares about the lost cargo. If it's a Barge, 50% is more than I make on an average weekend. But attacking a transport who won't pay is negative enough in itself. Many people just shoot their cargo once they realize they won't get out of the situation alive.

EDIT: Is it hardcoded? Too bad. Not that it makes the discussion any less interesting.
