What cargo. ;-)
My Asp has zero cargo space.

Why Powering Carge hatch

Because someone who sits still for 20 seconds while making excuses just might be stalling while they turn on their wing beacon for a friend who is coming to bail them out.

1). Jordan is a pirate. His avatar should make this obvious.
2). Some of us actually LIKE the additional challenge of having to deal with player pirates in our game.
Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure fuel scoop and cargo scoop are different things.
Waiting 20 seconds won't kill him, but it might kill you
Powerplant overload? Never heard of that before.
How does not using as much power overload your Powerplant?
It was meant as a joke - eventually, all pirates will also move to Möbius. Never mind.
Given the amount of cluelessness extant on this forum, one really can't assume that anything anyone says is a joke. Even if it seems ridiculous on the surface.
It's a safety catch. Unpower it if you don't want to lose all your cargo. And get fined for it.
You know what I'm talking about, the conveniently placed key that dumps all your cargo into a station. Do it in a T9 and you're in for a world of fine.

Or you could just rebind that function to something you're unlikely to hit by accident. I chose Ctrl-Alt-J, personally.
I prefer to think of it as one game divided into 3.
Because your "Power-Plant" doesn't provide power it's actually the bomb that activates when you self-destruct. When you disable your cargo scoop the power you save actually charges the bomb.
It's all fact, just ask Michael Brooks.
You can fuel scoop all you want with the hatch unpowered, but you cant cargo scoop as they are different scoops. You can cargo scoop even if you don't own a fuel scoop
Facepalm*
Hah... I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry when I hear that name since it is literally the declaration of the advent of flame war.
On topic:
Keep that cargo hatch powered good sir, you just might run into some cargo repossession specialists out there.

When you're in a Cobra and can't mass-lock, every second is precious. When I can tell a trader is stalling, I shoot. Police might come, BHs might come, you might escape...
maybe a thing pirates should keep in mind - the trader might not stall, but has to activate that hatch. if i'm not wrong, one can check the target's module status. perhaps an idea to have a look before shooting.

Me thinks someone needs to lay off the Onionhead.

It's not that a pirate doesn't want to give a trader time, it's that if we do, there's a pretty good chance they'll use it to log out. I've had it happen a lot.

Yup, I sort of understand the pirates problem, but on the other hand can a lack of patience mean a loss for them. I have been attacked while fiddeling around trying to give them the cargo, and it changed my willingness to cooperate. So I lost my ship and the pirate got nothing but a repair bill.
All in all I think the polite and calm pirate will be the most successful one, for most traders aren't that much upset about the pirating act itself but the way it is handeld. It are the rude, triggerhappy ones that drive traders into solo-mode, whereas the friendly ones get their loot while having a nice chat.
