Hey all. Today while pirating near planet New Berlin I saw a trader in a firefly with I think 3500 passengers. I scanned him and then told him to halt. He was about 4k away from the planet when I said this. He continued flying and I CDed him. He then thruste towards the mooring fixture when I opened fire and killed him with a supernova. I know I didn't demand any cargo but I did demand that he halt and he didn't.
yes, you must make a cash demand, - but then ... thats why we get such a roleplay as "2mil or die" - instead of a "hello, trader - cut your engines, please"
by the rules, you made a mistake - - anyway, its not too easy to "interact" well when you don t have much time .. but you may like to use something else but a supernova next time - a few shots into the hull that are not deadly work well to stop traders. - better than a 130.000 dam shot.
Once they halt I usally say somthing like 'mind making a donation for the starving people of crete?' I am a bomber with anti cap loadout. 4 coladas and a supernova. Not much I can do in terms of warning shots.
A trick, is to hold the dock open.
If you select dock from a distance (before they do) and slow down to near 0 speed, they should be incapable of docking, allowing you time to make your demands.
As Bountyhunter I cant start PVP fight without good reason.... question is, can outcasts or corsairs fire on me only because Im bountyhunter? (no demands, no nothing... just KOS)
beware... there are screenhunters waiting on your mistake... they need only 1
