You'll trade as fast as Kenyans.
Yeah all said and done power traders make me rich. I have pirated some 500 mill of power traders, even while shareing a JH pirate spot with other pirates.
They just need to interact some. But My trader isnt a mouthy sort either so if one did not engage my character, my character would say nothing. I suppose the reverse can be true.
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Hehehehe... hahahahaaa!!!
That was awesome...
Heh.... well, as long as they aren't too obnoxious, they do add to the traffic in systems, and provide a livelihood for pirates. Myself, I've only traded about 300 mill or so, and have never once pirated anyone, so I don't actually have much knowledge of the perspective of power-traders or pirates.

Really due to oorp routes such as the Niobium Run... pirating becomes a viable alternative to powertrading...

Powerpirating?

I consider myself a powertrader, for simple reasons:
- I have the biggest ship in the game (cargo wise) and I love it. I NEVER have trouble navigating like people say.
- I continuously do the same route (its a 2,5 hour run though)
- I trade for the credits, just to have and spend on big ass stuff (yes even a zoner id'ed/tagged Battleship. Although it only shoots nomad npc's for fun)
- I trade more then 80% of my online time...
So, how would I be classified?

I'm currently sort of powertrading toward a Destroyer and Gunboat for Ayumu and a Gunboat for Blackmoon.
I say "sort of" because I'm doing Engine Components/Prisoners instead of Diamonds/Niobium in a Border Worlds Transport (3600) instead of a Luxury Liner (4000), Container Transport (4200), or Advanced Train (5000).
But because it bores the hell out of me, I only get $20-50mil at a time.

As someone who isn't an idiot, likely. Lot's of those powertrading fellows are reactionary morons, it seems. Say anything to them and they might explode with fury at the slightest thing, threatening you with, "My other ship it iz so big I KILL U put u on KOS!!!". THOSE are the ones I hate. I myself own an Adv. Train which I use solely for the purpose of gathering large amounts of money. However, I decided to go off and tag and ID it as a Bowex trader, and have recently renamed it the BES-Brighton.
