' Wrote:this isnt about route's income this is about not ruining ones day .. When the first one stoped me I paid him without any hesitation I gave him 4 000 000 but those two retards asked me 5 500 000 each ad caught me on the same lane, they were in group also .
Because you kept using the same lane?
Then you're the sucker in that story. Should've changed route, they were fully in their rights. In fact, pirates are encouraged to pirate the same trader through the same lane more than once.

Q_Q about this?
Im a pirate and ain't letting traders pass cheap. Im not using gunboats though...thats retarded. And you cant escape easily in a gunboat (not talking about pirating near Freital or similar places.)
EDIT: Also, if these 30 minutes of your life are important, I suggest doing something else than playing Freelancer. You chose this.
If you never wanna be caught by pirates, then run a chat-check in each system before jumping in to see what people are there. Yo should make a catalogue of every trader and pirate though, so you know who you are going to run into.

It's your OWN fault if you keep using the same lane.
You knew the risks, and weren't immune to them.

Always, when you try to become rich fast (mining & trading), you are gonna pay either in death or by paying (literally) to unpleasant and pleasant pirates.
I dont trade :cool:I have other means to acquire cash (codeguns, codeguns, transport-wrecks, codeguns, missions, codeguns, bounties).
Hell, some 10 or more wrecks that bring 5 transport turrets every day = more than 5mills for me. And I have >ZERO< expenses. Add some taxing and codegun selling to the mix and you see how Im dealing with it.

if we are talking about Role playing as a pirate here there realy is no need to suck so much money from a trader by being a pirate... it is stupid from em

You're doing escorting wrong. Escorting works best when a fighter sticks at least one lane ahead of you to warn you of dangers. Any issues? Fly low that specific lane or something.
