Pirates and Cargo drop limit discussion

[Ceoran]

Who did mention loltraders? My reason is that guarding remains and hoping for that the next junker will arrive sooner than the cops is fun. Also, whenever I trade, I feel there's too few pirates. If it would shift the balance towards them, it's all the better.

You didn't mention them, but they are what makes many people vote in favour of this idea. Revenge is a sweet thing. ( any potential reference to not further named members of this community are completely coincidentally and have nothing to do with a pink dress. Sorry, I had to.)

Also, by balance I wasn't talking about player numbers but about the the fact that you are pretty much doomed once caught by a (skilled) pirate. The turrets on most civilian transport are just to get rid of those pesky NPCs, but when encountering a pirate, you might as well be flying without any. Exceptions to this are very rare, especially if it comes to high-budget ships.

And what Daedric said.

Care to elaborate?

We already have the mentality around to get as much out of a trader as possible. And as such people will make sure to get the full cargo each time. I haven't played through all scenarios, but the first that came to my mind was that the trader hardly can see who is going to grab his cargo once he got blown up.
"Hey Dude, I just blew a barge, how 'bout you get yours out and we are sharing the profit"
Can't wait to see Ageira barges carrying off stuff for their Hacker buddies. I know that it's already possible to do so, but this suggestions might take it to a whole new level.
I'm sure there are other possibilities.

pirate ships in this game really dont make much sense to me. They are low in cargo space, with the only exception being the pirate transport. Every generic pirate ship thats not connected to a military reason, AKA outcast, corsair. etc. Should have a general cargo hold boost accordingly to their ship class.

EDIT: It would be only logical that a pirate would try to attempt to outfit their ship with the most cargo space for captured loot.

Well, I just checked the wiki and the Z-line as well as the Junkers have pretty larger holds in the snubcraft-sector. I don't really get what you are trying to say by "generic" pirate ships though. There aren't any by my knowledge. One re-purposed civilian ships who still are civilian (only because everyone and his mom uses a Ku Ex to pirate doesn't make it a pirate ship).
