' Wrote:You must be joking. Here there are ships that cannot defend against gunboats or nova-bombers and now you say they should not even be able to deny any loot either? Why dont you just make it so pirate demand gives you instant cash then you wont even have to do anything at all. Jeezus you people are terribly lazy at this stuff. Nevermind coming up with decent piracy tactics, just make it so the target loses all the loot from a /pirate command and you dont even have to shoot them.
I just think it doesn't make sense that you can shoot the cargo you just dropped. To me, it's just a problem with the game mechanics. I'm not talking about 10 seconds, just 1 second.
Also, why do you complain that they cannot defend against gunboats or bombers? If you destroy the loot you are as good as dead to them:P
I just don't like traders who goes "Just shoot me, it's easier instead of flying back", makes 0 sense, and well.
I don't know about you, It's been at least a year since I last traded or pirated. So, I think my comments are not biased based on any of the two characters involved. But seems you are a bit biased on your comments:P
