Piracy as an actual career path - questions and doubts

First thing I do every single time, after the interdiction process, is requesting voice comm from my target. Till this date only one person answered. Simple chat would have spared those ships but they decided to ignore a life saving call.

lol, you only do VOICE piracy requests and not text chat?

Yeah, I'm sticking to griefer. You're no pirate, stop pretending you are.

Sorry, don't pirate something you can't catch during a full interdiction cooldown. Not every ship is able to pirate every ship.

Obviously you don't know how to avoid the FSD cooldown when being interdicted. Educate yourself first.

Because real pirates did not sink ships, murder sailors and overall they were great chaps. In the history of mankind there were several well known pirates that led wealthy life that allowed them to fuel their newfound careers. In any kind of simulation that allows for particular degree of freedom the history is doomed to repeat itself.

Please limit commenting to the matters of implementation of actual player vs player encounters. There are several other threads on this forum where heated carebear vs pirates discussions have been started and are more than welcome to anyone aiming to start an internet flamewar.

While I am an awful internet space being I do truly wish for some attention from developers who could shed some light on upcoming fixes regarding this aspect of the game.

lol I know what an interdiction submission is. You're asking for a mechanic that allows you to catch faster ships in slow space. Not gonna happen

Also, when it comes to education, you educate yourself on pirates. They were more than happy not to kill, because it made it less likely a navy would send a warship after them.

Really? That's silly. You expect players to have a microphone connected and ready to use? And be competent at spoken English? Seriously?

Do you send a "Stop and comply and you won't be harmed" text comms message? That'll work better.

While the subject is a bit of offtopic here I'd like to answer those two statements.

In the era of microphones built into pretty much everything there is to be connected to a PC I see no reason for a person to not be able to use one.
I do understand the reasoning behind the level of spoken English my target can present but he (or she) doesn't need to be competent at it, extreme basics are required in such situations. The same basics that are required to answer a text message.

Also while it is more convenient for a pirate to have stop&obey commands macroed under a specified key it is much easier for an interdictee to answer the call since he doesn't have macros for every possible type of request that can come from pirate's side.

Typing takes life saving time, accepting a voice chat does not (well almost).

Anyway I'll take your advice on having a text macro in addition to requesting voice comm.
