No one is stopping them from doing that. I'm sure the pirates would love it, I'm sure other traders would love it too, means there are more fish for the pirate to shoot at. Which in turn means, more chance of you not getting hit because the pirate is busy with another trader.

Scouts should scout, escorts should escort.

I used to scout using a FREIGHTER for a few reasons:
1) you get to haul a small ammount of cargo as you scout
2) Pirates will try to pirate you therefore drawing attention away from the trader
3) even if you are pirated it will usually be for less that what the trader would be pirated.
4) if the pirate ignores you completely (happens sometimes) they wil never suspect you of scouting
5) freighters can outrun gunboats
6) Dromadary is awesome
