Tax for passage at that level makes it totally unprofitable. Better to take the hit. Remember, we have insurance on that cargo, and in this game our escape pods always work.
Hmm...text always destroys inflection..."not that off the wall"...i mean it is still ridiculous but sometimes a pirate will make ridiculous demands, within RP...
10 mil off of my trade runs is only about 1/3 reduction in profit for the whole run itself since i don't just go back and forth, i go in big ole circle routes.
and, this is just my opinion, but i feel the whole insurance bit is about the same RP as saying "this BS was a gift by the Rheinland Military." Insurance rates would rise everytime I was stupid enough to get my ship destroyed and eventually my premiums would be more than profits....corporations are worse than pirates...plus, my char doesn't trust the escape pod to survive so he avoids destruction if possible. (mind you this mentality is only in effect when the pirate is so kind to RP with me)
