That's just you and a mate roleplaying something. That's cool and all, and if you get enjoyment out of it please have as much fun as you can. But no actual griefer cares if you 'escort' a trader in your vulture.
No actual PRO griefer, but for every pro there's a dozen non-pros. Believe me, I've run into them over and over again. These are guys are are fooled by silent running, "Where did you go?" as I sit behind them. We were lucky that the griefers attacking us were apparently not pros, nor were they in wings of four, which allowed two noobs in a Vulture and a Conda repel these griefers in actual combat.
As I said elsewhere in this thread, I warned the trader I was escorting that I make no guarantees that I can protect them. I'm well aware if a wing G5 godships show up, I'm toast (I don't high wake if I'm protecting someone, I'm there till the rebuy). But thankfully you pros are a subset of the overall player base.
And even if we had died, I would have had fun. I don't know if the trader would have, but she was willing to play in open to begin with and flew a combat-capable ship, so I have to assume so.
