It's really annoying though as a freelancer or trader when you just get blown up without as much as a word. Has happened a few times with corsairs. Found out later that I got blown up because I managed to outrun one corsair a day earlier and he was just pee-ed off. I'd like to remind everyone that outrunning any pirate is a fair tactic. besides without traders what is there lef to do for pirates?
Money doesnt make you happy, but Im happy they make money

Good post. Outrunning pirates is fair game, just as they would disrupt lanes to tax/kill us. Why not attempt to avoid it? Holding up a trade lane with a Pirate ID doesn't give you free and easy money. There are no shortcuts in life, only to death which many pirates have seen from my train's guns.
I outran two pirates the other day in Manchester, they chased me all the way to Stokes Mining Station, I managed to dock. They got so ticked off they tried torpedoing me while docking:laugh: Ah the fun.
Oh and welcome to Discovery DD_Daisythedutch, hope you have a good time here. If you need help with anything don't be afraid to PM me or anyone else around here.:yes:

EDIT: Forgot to say, I always announce before engaging opponents. I usually say around 3-8 seconds before I engage. Just so I can get a fair fight.
(Almost) Always announce your intentions one way or another. If there's a big fight and my outcast is flying towards it to help, then they should be able to guess i'm coming as reenforcements and not taking an evening stroll.
One of the exceptions is when you backstabbing someone. But if it's at all possible, say that they're getting killed a split second before you do. Of course they never had a chance, but atleast you said why.
