It seems as if there are more pirates than traders now... and there just isn't enough trader income to support the pirates.
Pirates are starting to shoot at my friend's trader ships on sight without even going "halt".
Heck I had a desperate one in Magellan tell me that my cargo was worth 2 million so I can afford the 2 million. What was my cargo? A name change certificate you say?
Alot of pirates will fly up, and won't do any RP stuff. They waltz up and go "kaiden 2 mil". No offense to anyone who pirates like that... but put some effort in? You want me to give you 2 million of my earned cash, the least you could do is at least make it feel like I'm being pirated rather than some homeless old beggar demanding coins.
Then there are the ones who go "halt give me 2 mil", and when I on my rare "geez I should just pay this guy" moments stop my engines and begin to type, he blows me away 5 seconds after I stop.
Also I've been told by some of my friends that they get PMed by pirates saying "they're ruining the RP of the server by running" and "pirates need income too this isn't fair".
