I'm with the OP on this one. There was only one jerk in that encounter and it wasn't him. Anyone that starts a conversation with Yar, gets a massive thumbs up from me

Repped even though Im a solo player...perhaps if there were more genuine role players, there might not be half the issues it is now where open resembles something more akin to fight club.
If Id been the trader on the recieving end, I wouldnt have dropped either and ran until not possible to run anymore...but I would drop at this point. Cant blame a guy fer trying ^
Yar!! someone got so bullied in the school that sees everything as bully.... It's ok to look for a shrink...
See, this is the kind of awesome, meaningful player-to-player interaction that keeps me pirating. Encouraging positive inter-player experiences has led me to another cool CMDR to fly with. This Teabagger and I will hopefully be getting together to deliver gifts to other CMDRs in the lead-up to Christmas this year.
I also did spend some time today on my other favorite in-game activity: hunting down Wanted CMDRs in the CG system! That absolves me of my piracy sins, right?!?!

This friendly chap actually was looking forward to potentially being pirated by me today:

There are some bizarre comments on this thread.
At the current trade CG, I've been interdicted countless times. The only one who got anything from me other than a wake signal was the pirate who opened comms.
The guy was in an iCourier, pirating a decently defended T-9. Ten tonnes of cargo? Yeah, I think I can afford that for the entertainment value. Made a new friend in game.
The OP is actually playing as a Pirate. There are NPC pirates, yes? Human ones are much more interesting.
The options as I see them are as follows:
a) Run.
b) Negotiate.
c) Fight.
I think I'm right in saying that the OP would be fine with any of those approaches. Calling someobody a "bully", when they are playing one of the supported, albeit poorly remunerated, career options in Elite is rather missing the full scope of the game.

No, See one seed of grace was added to the game with Engineers. The Scramble Spectrum pulse laser special.
I always use one of these. A couple of focused pulses with these specials will open the cargo hatch in a jiffy with minimal damage.
Wow!!! Another griefer thread!!! How awesome...
Good afternoon, OP.
Thank you for the information on how to conduct myself should you choose to steal from me. Would that more crime providers could be so magnanimous.
However, in the same spirit of beneficence, I beg leave to inform you that our paths will not cross, since I play exclusively in Solo.
This is not, I should add, because I fear the destruction of my ship: NPCs supply such circumstances with some regularity. It is rather because my relationship with NPCs is somewhat more comfortably straightforward: they blow me up because that's what they're programmed to do, and I have no need to concern myself with whether or not they are being gentlemanly, nor whether my response is correspondingly felicitous.
My compliments, and a very good day to you.

Usually no time to chat...!
Simply submit, then boost, boost, boost and high wake riding a fast Cobra. Take a few hits in the rear, but usually make it to safety. Though once last night, I got tagged when a wing brought me out of SC and I did not escape. Fortunately, I did make it to Vancouver Ring for one drop off that will net the 700k credits. However with all the pirates in that system last night, I moved on to standard trade hops for some nice bank back to home system.

Shame. Because the only interdictors who get anything out of players like me use comms.
That is a good point. For those who have the capability to hunt CMDR pirates in a CG system to clear out the "wanted" is that possible? Or, if you kill a "wanted" CMDR in a system, do you then become "wanted?" When attempting to make it to Vancouver Ring last night on one of the hops, there were a TON of "wanted" CMDRs in the system, thus was it simply a pirate fest with no "cleans" to clear them out? Of course with all those "wanted", I could not make it to the star port without interdiction and forced to run (other than the lucky time I made it).
You have a funny way to call your new friends, unless you like to be the teabaggee
Teabaggers are a player group in ED
ha-ha. They provide other players with goods during community goals, and sometimes at random. Guess I should have explained that, ha.

Shooting and killing a Wanted CMDR will not make you wanted. It is perfectly legal. Additionally, killing a Wanted CMDR will NOT clear your own wanted status.
However, instancing is what really kills both piracy and pirate hunting
I was flying around looking for wanted CMDRs yesterday, and every instance I got was straight up dead. Hardly a soul to be found. I really hope FD finds a way to do away with instancing. It really hampers the game in a big way.

& yes we are a player group called the "Teaka Elite Altruists Bagging Cooperative" ...but most CMDRs know us as the "Teabaggers"
