More chat message variety for NPC pirates/ NPC interdictions

Should be self-explanatory. You can only read "Now you die, victim!" and "I'm gonna boil you up!" when being interdicted during a trading CG so many times before it gets a little stale.

How about a dozen or so new lines for these hapless NPC pirates to give them a tiny bit more personality. For example:

"Drop your cargo and maybe you'll live."
"This is a toll lane, pay up!"
"You know the drill."
"It's not your lucky day, friend."
"Hi, would you like to donate to my cause?"
"Sure would be sad if you lost all that survey data."
"Is there a CG going on? You're my fifth big score today!"
"I demand tribute on behalf of Archon Delaine."
"Sorry, but I've got bills to pay and I'm not selling my Aisling merch."

Funny thing is (not ha ha), people have been asking for this seemingly simple thing on the forum for years in multiple different threads. Perhaps it's not as simple as we think?

Yes 100 % agree!

They could even do contests from time to time to let people submit suggestions for new lines for any kind of NPC chat. That would for sure lead to some nice and entertaining variation!

I would change

"No cargo, how do you fools make a living?"

into

"No cargo, how do you foo... oh fudge! Sorry Mr Corvette, I wasn't talking to you, have a nice day!"

Cargo-specific lines would be nice too, no more tasty biowaste comments.

FDev held a competition a few years back to update station adverts, why not do the same to crowdsource new NPC dialogue?
