You can count me on the "been pirated but not killed after surrendering my cargo" side. The encounter did cause me to sweat, though. Quite much. I counted this as a positive encounter but a strong fear still remains in me that the next guy mightn't be as textbook as the first.
Been killed by a Pirate? Lift the veil.

You can drop mines and cargo at same time.
Opinions aside.
So far no one has reported being killed after dropping their cargo, and no has has killed another after receiving same said cargo.
I hope more people chime in as this continues.
Most people when playing the Pirate in games such as Elite Dangerous, think themselves the "Jack Sparrow" of space or the "John Silver" of treasure planet
They are not interesting in blasting your freighter, they want to get away with Loot and tell their friends of their latest heist.

A shame, isn't it?
I'm not complaining about it.
I'm calling pirates for what they are, thieves... If you don't like being called a thief, then don't steal peoples stuff.
I think it's the pirates problem if they want to steal stuff, but look all honorable and decent people while doing it.
The neg reps hint at who is getting upset. lol
When I played open, I had a pirate encounter where he demanded my cargo when I only happened to have junk I carried in my Cobra to trade something while doing some courier mission. I never stopped and basically LMAO:d since what I had was nothing to him but he insisted so I decided to run for it and thanks to my shield banks I did pretty much intact. I don't think he was seriously RPG'ing though since he had a ship that'd give him a life of luxury but instead he decided that murdering someone for nothing was worth riskin it all.
There's the fun element, people aren't benign and predictable.
> murder
They could do with turning up the bounty TBF. Putting it up to 10K or more wouldn't break anything.

Do you also call people who killed others in a game killers?
Someones upset lol
The neg reps are due to your flamebaiting, trolling and efforts to hijack the thread.
Pirate get no love in this game
I've flown countless hours in Open doing trade routes in my Type 7, never a single player encounter. Maybe the problem is you're interdicting tiny ships with cheap insurance. Do you know what the rebuy is on a Type 9???? I'd much rather give up 10-20 tons than lose a ship like that.
I'm not telling you where my trade route is though. I ain't Stupid.

I've had 3 CMDRs drop cargo and I let them go. Of course I let them go, I'm a pirate, not a monster!
You're doing something wrong then.
What makes you say that?
There is one thing you pirates forget. The trader may have contracted to deliver tne cargo to someone. That means that if I give some of it to you I am reneging on my contract so I'm not only loosing my cargo but my reputation with the customer.
So the answer is, try and take it if you can but be be aware I am very well equiped to stop you.
You have decided on your lifestyle and so have I. I will protect mine to the last laser bolt.
A pirate is a thief. Nothing more or less. If you want to live that life you can but don't expect us to respect you.

You realize you are actually part of the problem, way I see it. You take this SO personally, you've done nothing but insult other players in this thread. The player pirates play the same role as the NPC pirates do..except they are better at it, and more creative in how they go about it. But you, and players like you, turn it into a personal vendetta.
They really need to get the player mission system out, so folks like me, can run escort missions for soft traders like yourself, or respond to distress signals (if they are considering such)...something.
I don't want your respect, just your cargo.
Well if they are killing just to kill...wouldn't that make them more a terrorist then a pirate?
