I'd love (a bit like discussed for Powerplay) that people who do log out like that lose cargo- so they can escape, but it comes at a price.

Also booo for preemptively blocking a legit pirate

A real pirate would not moan about a failure of attempted theft.
Btw, last active 15 hours ago.
It does mean that players have to SHOCK look at more panels and do more work though.
How dare they make them look and think more! HOWDARETHEY!
Next it will be headlook hacks
Not biased, but averse towards parasitic gameplay. My little time i have is precious to me.He did shoot hatch breakers at me
Biased much?
Then don't use a shared mode and get funny about legitimate gameplay tactics.
Now even piracy is parasitic gameplay.
Solo is the mode you'd better stay...
Or Mobius or Open with a sizable block list.
Coop is still a multiplayer option, you know? Not everyone wants PvP.
Ah the wonderful coop option of o7o7o7. lmao
But why is it co-op to resist pirates and gankers is not an option?

Always has been....
I had some nice coop activities in open and it was not AX combat. It is not as often as i would like, yes...
Silly me, and I thought it was the wonderful roleplay you I-let-you-only-attack-me-if-your-reason-is-of-my-liking advocates so often proclaim.
Look how tough I am for playing Elite in Open, I only blocked 500 gankers, pirates and everyone not properly o7ing me...
But its still valid and legitimate, while the trader can escape punishment free for bailing out.
If a trader bails on the instance, why not leave the cargo behind since otherwise whats the point?
How do you do this properly? Wing Nav-Lock is broken.But why is it co-op to resist pirates and gankers is not an option?

That piracy is role play does not change the fact that it is parasitic, i.e. the pirate wants something from the target that they are not entitled to.Silly me, and I thought it was the wonderful roleplay you I-let-you-only-attack-me-if-your-reason-is-of-my-liking advocates so often proclaim.

That it may not be fun for the target means that it's possibly parasitic in terms of fun too, i.e. the pirate has fun but the target does not.
.... and there's nothing tough about playing in any game mode, contrary to the beliefs of some.

Those on-foot NPC's at least for me are different deal seem to be quite tough customers, at least against non engineered gear.

It's an activity that players can choose to engage in, yes. It's also an interaction that the target can choose to leave at any time.
Why should cargo be left behind, given that none is left when the pirate destroys the target nor does the target drop materials?
