Real Pirates would take your ship, cargo, and ransom your crew back to your company for a heck of a lot more than 2 mill.
Oh, and more often as not shoot you anyway.

And instead reform them under the "Can complete bounty contracts" into sorta-kinda Mercenary style. Then give them 3 cells of almost no nerf to the most OP factions they could establish ties to and AGAIN kill transports, only through bounties, where you can't have a way out with the transport. Sounds awesome, doesn't it?

They've paid.
Yeh but barges are a little different. They are a huge pain to fly and can have huge amounts of cargo onboard. I do honestly think the only way we can really do to make sure people don't repeatedly ask for stupid sums of money would be to cap how much people can demand.
But that would probably be very confuseing since you'd have to do it in regards to cargo hold size to make it balanced and you'd have to get the whole community to agree on the caps. And I know for a fact some people will hate the idea.

Every new player that tries to earn money to really take part in the game, makes one thread like this. It's just natural and I made one myself. It feels unfair (and it is) to have no money, to try and get into the game while all your enemies have high-level gear and more experience. Face it: you are at their mercy.
Solution: endure. manage to get your 1 billion. Get your Cau 6 Battlestransport. Get your fighters/bombers/BSs... and do the same to the new guys.:D
2nd: Piracy today and in the past
I do not think there are many pirates around nowadays. Remeber California, last lane? 4 months ago, I guess? THAT was piracy. Remember Dublin piracy before Cannon killed the mining mod? THAT was piracy.:)
Today, Rorry's Renegades are the only organised party that I have seen for months and the only group that can also make an organised trader group sweat.
3rd: How to survive that difficult time in the beginning:
1. Make a thread to let off steam. Never enter this thread because all the experienced unlawful players will taunt you.
2. Do not fly alone. Best choice is a scout, but also an agile tarnsport with TCD and CM can do the job of a scout (and can make good money).
3. Join a money making faction that does not leave the newbies alone in the rain.
4. Never fly without armor (I see so many indie traders without! Minimum is AUA8. Get a CAU6 for transports with high value cargo)

How about just demanding the capacity of the transport X 500; so if a transport carries 2000 you can demand 1 000 000 and so on ' easy system for both pirate and victim.
