I am pointing out that your lack of experience in game has led you to make assumptions that are more destructive than constructive to your argument. If you want to play the "I am insulted" card, then I can do that all day, as well, with the amount of hatred my syndicate and my profession gather for me.
Btw, what did I request a response to?
Does the concept of rhetorical questions get lost somewhere in this forum?
(yes, these are rhetorical questions, as well, for your convenience)
Oh right I should include:
What a pity.

I want to see how far one runs in a type 6 before getting one's Drive disabled...
I have tried every professional thoroughly, can you say the same? Especially in piracy?
Do you have extensive player interaction experience with both in-game player groups and their respective embassy personnel?
Do you participate actively in/represent a well-known player group in the Elite Dangerous universe?
Do you work for diplomatic department of any well-known syndicate in Elite Dangerous that actively has to negotiate and interact with other player syndicates?
I have trading experiences, plenty of it, and the experience of being pirated. I am a well-known member of Code, who actively coordinate with CS and CTRL within the power of Archon Delaine. I thoroughly explored every profession within the game.
You have every right to state your opinion with your parameter of experience, but I am pointing out that the pool of anecdote you derive your argument from is too narrow and shallow.
It's simple, really. If you argue philosophy with no background knowledge in philosophy or very little of it, you do not sound as credible as someone who has a degree in the said subject.
If you do not speak two languages proficiently, then you are less credible than someone who is bilingual in the said two languages. In this case it is piracy and trade.
Of course there are exceptions, but with what I have seen in this post, nothing gave me that impression.

Clippers and Orcas laugh at Type6 trying to run. Being masslocked and outrun at the same time is obviously a fun experience.

I personally give a trader 12h of free reign after a successful cargo relocation. I precisely keep track of that - to the minute. Or at least I used to before a certain update destroyed any chance of profit.

Truly, there is nothing more respected than self-awarded honors. Do you have anything further about the topic at hand or is simply patting yourself on the back the entire agenda currently?

Indeed. I'm not sure what can or should be done about this, but the present situation I find disagreeable.
That's certainly more respectable than the ones I've run into. That's of course not saying much, but still.
Oh, I have. Just not in this instance this one time.

Okay then, claiming to have more experience and support the said argument is suddenly self-awarded honors...
It's not the first day I play around with red herring, so don't even try it.
This is related, I am stating that your complaint is not well-constructed, then proceed to prove your lack of knowledge and experience which are necessary to construct a sound argument.
In the plainest language, I am disapproving your argument, not demeaning your character. Please don't make something that isn't ad hominem ad hominem.
Btw, you may want to reconsider that attitude. I want to see what it gets you if you tell your boss/professors to go away and pat themselves on their back just because they have more experience and knowledge than you do. Individualism is a great thing, but consider everyone to be equally competent in every subject is nothing short of extreme arrogance.

If something like that is ever introduced, be prepared for pirates to ask you to stay where you are as they pick up every cargo.
If you move, you get shot.
Plus there will probably be counter mechanics like a scanner module of some sort.
I like the idea, though, it sounds fun and adds depth to gameplay.

Well, when trading and being interdicted by player pirates, I would rather loose my ship and pay a 20 million re-buy cost then allow the pirate 1 tonne of cargo. If my hatch is blown open, I would stop trying to escape, turn around and destroy as many of the canisters as I can, or suicide ram the pirate. Traders that buckle under and willingly give-in to pirate demands are only causing you as a trader more problems in the long-run. If a pirate kills you without acquiring any cargo, consider this a win for you

Great, at least you are determined and hopefully haven't made a complaint thread on the forum QQing.
That's character.

Yup, I've done that as well before. My preferred action even if arguably illogical, though it gets back to the one-sided punishment that currently exists.
eh i dont carry cargo its too boring for me , lol i would only get it to use them on the silly pirates that pull me out of fsd don't scan and see i dont have cargo and just demand it, lol i dont even have cargo racks
more as a giggle before going after their bounty Great, more target practice for us!
I've never had a trader try to ram my cargo, but they'd be so dead. I rob Type 6's and sometimes Type 7's, and my Cobra is completely prepared to rip them to bits
Piracy is about fun between players, but it isn't a charity service. I show muscle and use fear tactics, as pirates did in the Caribbean, wand what pirate is better to roleplay than Blackbeard?
I prefer the roguish highwayman-type pirate myself.I show muscle and use fear tactics, as pirates did in the Caribbean, wand what pirate is better to roleplay than Blackbeard?

Well, to be honest, I cannot imagine the space being without pirates. And it's a hard gameplay, no wonder here. I'm for the normal, sensible piracy as it were, and I would surely give my cargo for the Spaghetti monster sake. It's the interaction that is fun here, you play a gunman, I play a boat loaded with goods, you take my stuff, I fly away and call police ) and by the time they arrive there's no one there, something like that.
Now, we see so-called pirates flying out there having fun time laughing in face of non-combatant traders, bullying them even in out-of-game style for non apparent RP reason, just for feeling superior and considering everyone else inferior. You know they can't beat you, and you post your 'great encounters' naming the victim and shaming them even with a little editing of the story. Lying, to look like you're cool. Gosh, it's just low. You're just gaining enemies both in-game and out-of-game. I'm addressing to those who's 'gameplay' like this is to fulfil the absense of strength in reality.
