1: Solo pirates that feel entitled to always getting paid no matter what, and getting upset and crying that piracy is broken when the transport gets away.
2: The new scanners.
You can figure out which one I think is more harmful.
Protip, don't pirate alone. That's been the golden rule of piracy since 4.84. If you're going to complain about how hard it is being solo, you can just not pirate at all.
Players must be able to play alone and\or in group with same success. Or the game is going to loose players, especially new once who're mostly alone at start. So your statement about "use more ships" is completely wrong by default.
is perfectly possible to pirate alone, only is needed a bit of common sense and be aware of the drawback that implies the solo piracy. If every "wannabepirate" could understand this fact, threads like this one wouldn't be necessary. Every new version something changes.... then adapt to it.... dont come with "transports are OP" you can give them hell with a single fighter.... but is a piracy that requires if not skill, a measure of awareness from the pirate....

Except that's wrong and there's never been the ability to solo pirate with a 100% success rate. It's about the same as it's always been. You can either pirate with friends and succeed every time, be it a kill or a payday, or you can pirate alone and fail at least half of the time. My statement is not wrong by default, you're just not willing to come up with a decent counter arguement.
Quote:Reducing number of pirates and generally players do not agree with you.
And as for that, the reducing number of players tends to be due to the development of the mod these days. Watching a couple factions jump ship was pretty funny.
Piracy not being e z modo is definitely not the main reason players are leaving.
But please, post a concern you've had besides PIRACY IS HARD ALONE!!!
Saronsen it's difficult to split astonishing loot of 2-3M between two or even more pirate players and consider it satisfying payment, just like it's difficult to normal commodity trader to hire mythical escort always mythically waiting online and pay 1/3 or more of his -potential- profit for services.
Solo Piracy is not possible for new players, it is barely possible for the veterans versus new players and impossible versus veteran trading vessels. The experienced players that manage to pirate fine here are also wrong because they rarely meet good veteran trader. This is undeniable fact.
If you does not believe me I do challenge you to fight the mathematical facts.
If the devs fail in basic maths it is logical to have 30/225 sevrer compared with 4.85 devs that had 195/200 server.
Here we go with the mathematical proof that is 1 year old with quotes 4 years old that explain the simple mathematical facts provided to the Devs because as it seems they are incapable of doing it on their own: http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread...pid1376790
Now you are free to continue with this useless discussion. Bang your heads at the wall at will.
In order to fix anything in this mod you need Dev team that uses its brain at first place.

The only problem I found with solo piratcy yesterday in Magellan and Cortez is that traders just ... teleported through the tradelane which I carefully shut down half a minute earlier, to make sure they don't slip through. This happened once in Cortez and once I magellan, then I gave up . I know it should go to bug reports, but hence screenshots wouldn't really show the real problem, I doubt it would help much.
