Piracy rule changes?

[Wild Eagle]

Personally I find giving a trader a time limit to be tacky and it forces me to speed up my RP to the point that it feels watered down.
I would be all for a rule allowing me to waste the trader without fear of sanction if all they do is stall and call for help.

You don't need a rule for this since the pirate can just demand to make it snappy or else.
If you feel there is delay then it is in your move to go about threatening to hurry up or get a gun to the face.

Hostage situations are fun. I really think this is one of those cases where the rule of "Work it out yourself" applies and does not needs to be etched into stone and make our rules even MORE specific.

This has always been the case. If you think like the person is stalling - just tell them.

"Oh and if a navy arrives, you are going to tell them to bugger off or you will die right there and then."

Make sure it's not fourth or fifth demand though.

And that I did not tell the guy to stop whining, because that too is a demand now.

Or if you tell them to stay away from the lanes... Who knows what isn't a demand these days?

The original post, if you read, wasn't about a pirate's first interaction with any given trader. The idea was that if Trader Joe had previously called the cops on Pirate Rob in their first interaction, and two days later, Pirate Rob comes across Trader Joe again, then Pirate Rob can just waste Joe then and there for revenge -- even without issuing a demand.

Personally, I'm all for it in principle, but I'm afraid of the rules becoming too convoluted. They're already complex as is. Then again, if we simplified engagement rules across the board, this wouldn't even be an issue.

Uhh no, it's about that same interaction.

But, come to think of what you wrote.... Let's see what players think.


Should pirate be allowed to kill on sight trader who previously called backup while stalling encounter?

[Wild Eagle]

Totally on board with that. Snitches get stiches.

As long as there is engagement RP I would not complain...not like some pirate in a heavy fighter can dodge six Dulzians all at once.
