There are (almost) no griefers in Open Play

[Vorxian]

Note this is based on the last time I was killed by the same commander.
full throttle
deploy defences
spot the mugger
turn away
(it's a player!)
start fight or flight decision loop
(what a message)
(50 tons of my cargo)
(do I reply or do I dump cargo)
(better dump cargo, how do I do that again?)
(YOU EXPLETIVE DELATED MURDER HOBO) mugger opens fire
(I was just about to tab round to inventory)
spam mines
die
pay 4,000,000 plus credit rebuy

That's the thing really isn't it? Now if a trader could push a button and that cobra suddenly had a 4 million credit bill, the whine would be coming from the other side of the screen.
