I’d like to offer some friendly feedback on your recent engagement. As your faction continues to grow, refining your approach will help strengthen your reputation and effectiveness.
Issuing a command like "Stop your engine" from 10K away can create confusion rather than compliance. From that distance, many traders may not even realize they are being directly addressed, and by the time you close in, they might assume they were never given a fair chance to comply. A more effective approach would be to get within a reasonable range before making demands, ensuring that your presence is clear and the interaction remains smooth.
When demanding payment, it’s important to assess the situation. In this case, the hauler was empty, and yet credits were still requested. While piracy is part of your operations, making demands that align with the situation—such as asking for information, alternative compensation, or simply issuing a warning—can make encounters feel more purposeful rather than routine. A well-structured demand ensures that traders take your faction seriously while maintaining credibility.
The way you conduct interactions shapes how others view the Gaians. A composed and professional approach can go a long way in reinforcing the faction’s identity. Traders and other pilots should recognize the Gaians as organized and strategic rather than unpredictable. Your growing influence presents an opportunity to refine these engagements into something that leaves a lasting impression, making future encounters smoother for both sides.
I share this feedback with the hope that it helps improve your operations moving forward. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing how you continue to develop.

Thank you for your feedback. A colleague claimed to have written to you when he was 6km from your ship, but I understand that he could have started writing then and finished as you were further away. As you were docking empty from PoB but the mate was chasing you, hence there was a claim of only 10k, in the form of an eco-tax. In the end nothing has happened anyway as you docked at PoB running away from us.
