Piracy roleplaying - Veygaar - 05-23-2011
' Wrote:You must be new here. The new cool thing is to be sitting on the lane in a gunboat (so the trader doesn't stand a chance)Please tell me why I should ever EVER give a trader a chance?
Lets see:
Choice 1: Pirate in LF and have a chance to die from trader and not make money...
Choice 2: Pirate in GB, make sure trader has no chance so that he pays and I get out alive...
Really mate. I want you to think things through. YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD LOVE? Traders with escorts... AKA Traders with a 'chance.' |Convoy| Is a good example of smart traders, I've never successfully gotten them...
All a trader has to do to survive is be smart. If I'm pirating in a GB, and you know pirates are doing it, then make the logical decision to hire an escort. Its cheaper and can save you oh so much...
I know you get frustrated because GB's (or pirates in general) have bigger guns, I've been in your position. You have to adjust to the situations (eg. use escorts/put up bounties/ect.) just like I've had to adjust to more and more military coming after me (eg upgrade armor/get some fellas to join me/ect.)
Remember, you can always learn from every situation, and learn how to effectives avoid bad situations in the future. Its not gona be as easy as *pew pew rocks, lulz my way to sell point*... Not as long as I'm around that is, I want people to apply their mind to each situation.
idk, that's my mind at least...
Cheers
EDIT:
' Wrote:So no, obviously, I would not report someone for blowing me up after that.Now thats just plain old oorp logic right there... Granted you are correct. But what trader, inRP, would drop his cargo/destroy it. Then let himself die. That'd be one crazy-minded trader...
However, now that I think about it, destroying the cargo certainly seems like the only way for the trader to "win" in that scenario, assuming you're not within range of a base.
Given the choice between:
- Pirate gets all the cargo (trader loses all, and is now stuck in the middle of nowhere with no cargo)
- Pirate gets a blue message and 3k of the cargo (trader loses all, and is back on a planet to continue trading)
- Pirate gets a blue message (trader loses all, and is back on a planet to continue trading)
The trader loses in all of the cases, but at least in the third one the pirate doesn't get anything tangible out of it.

I try to win when trading but sometimes I just have to accept a defeat and move on.

You will have a hard time pirating in a LF anyone who doesn't surrender unless forced to. Solo LFs just don't have the punch for destroying big vessels.

The "Respawn" button sure ruins the InRP sense of self preservation, huh?
