@Redemption, I do happen to agree with what you want to do. I prefer and enjoy to play the way you're describing. Sadly, I've found the vast majority of miners and traders don't.
I won't completely give up. Interacting with official factions and well known players usually is a great deal of fun.

Last time i tried to rp with hypocrit, ignorant, ***** (exuse the language) he called in back-up, i got shot to bits cause i tried to roleplay. but i learned the lesson those people taught me. first shoot than ask questions otherwise you face your own dead:)
A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever
I had almost good interactions with pirates. Some others fired to fast <strike>(*looks to Rorry*)</strike>.
But I like it to diss/make fun of them. Asking why they're so rough and so.
Sometimes I also get a "please". Or, if they ask for a small amount I only give them a credit card/500k.
Of course I'm not wondering, if I get pewpewed after these interactions. :crazy:
From my experience the most TRADERS do not care much about RP as Cannon or Espi already posted.
If you as a pirate focus on RP-conversations most of the silent running traders will escape and you will get jumped by silent, out-of-nowhere popping forces.
By the way if you wanna have a chat go and visit a bar.
