Are any of you fellow pirates baffled by traders reactions when you try to pirate them?I'm talking about the ones who keep trying to run when you repeatedly tell them to stop or get destroyed. Have any of you guys seen these type of traders?
Pirates and Traders
- Thread starter your everyday pirate
- Start date
Before I switched to exploration I would always stop and fight back when running trading routes.

If they don't want to give the pirate any of their cargo then they know that they'll either jump out or get destroyed trying (and destroyed ships don't drop cargo).
Waiting for you to signal your intentions to them wastes time. Time wasted in trade = less profits per hour.
And if you can't masslock a target as soon as you drop out of interdiction, you're doing something wrong or your ship is too little.
*edit, I just noticed from one of your other posts that you pilot a Python. Pretty much everyone can get away from you.

I usually kill all the traders who don't cooperate and I can easily catch up to trade ships I only get outran by small ships.also is it really worth it to lose your whole cargo hold because you don't want to stop for a pirate?
Would you honestly give up your cargo?
Be aware groups like mine are hunting for pirates just waiting for you to do this, fully winged. We don't take payment for this just the pleasure of giving pirate a taste of their own medicine. Hope to see you out there soon

Bounty hunters are always threat to pirate so love dealing with them. But to the traders with millions in their hold why do you run when you can't outrun the person pirating you when your masslocked?Would you honestly give up your cargo?

Pirates are annoying
Again would you really give up your millions to some dude? I won't. its theirs not yours. If you love dealing with bounty hunters where do you hunt whats your tag, we will keep and eye out for you. Give ya a friendly hi five

lol this is coming from a guy named " stolen credits" so classic
Sure I mainly hang out in ervate I'm funnierfox88844 .besides I at most take 30 tons from a type 9 less if its a small ship. I'm not the type who asks you to dump your whole cargo hold and blows you up afterwards I let you live if you cooperate.
You get scared of anything that isn't a trader
I usually kill all the traders
your words
this is why any player we see wanted we don't ask why we just kill
this is why we hunt pirates
we don't wait for you to fly around wanted aimlessly we wait for you to interdict a trader and follow and while your busy we kill
we don't like doing this but well we don't like thief's,
ask yourself say you take thirty tons and i interdict you and say give me what you stole. you going to give it to me or run or fight? there is your answer
The biggest issue with you PIRATES is that most of you're murderers. This is whats messing the community up and creating a rift and lots of frustrated players. This is pirates doing and things need to change
A great fix to stop murderers
If player A is not wanted and player B kills player A (murder) than the full cost (insurance) and (cargo) should come out of the murderers pocket. Its pretty messed up that these ppl go around murdering other players and get a pretty sad bounty on their heads. While the person that was murdered has to pay for their ship when they didn't do anything but be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sure all you pirates won't agree but if i find one of you and we spawn kill you over and over how upset will you finally get.

If you ask for my cargo I'd fight you don't blame me most traders don't listen to my demands.
This person understands most pirates like me don't kill you for no reason after you do what we ask of you.

The target has no idea whatsoever whether the pirate is a "real" pirate or just a PKer in disguise....
Also, there's no mass lock on a hyper-jump out of the system.
Luckily it seems the traders I've pirated don't know about the ability to just jump out of the system unhindered.
Yet it happens more than you seem to notice, so you're a good pirate playing the game the way it should be played. Great then help the rest of us correct this wrong so that a small rift doesn't become something much larger. We are a community and we should be playing this game with respect. Pirates, i have no issue with but a very large percentage of them do not follow your code of conduct. I have played this since Beta pc and now xbox I'm not talking out of a months experience here. I do though apologize for painting all pirates with the same brush that was misplaced
Yeah and your pride would make you lose more in the end, some of the time (it could end up costing the same amount if it's a psycho pirate), which is what the OP is talking about.Again would you really give up your millions to some dude?
