""And exactly what are all of you traders saving up for? Max level? Max cash? WOW!!!! ""
It doesn't matter what traders are saving up for,...they are saving.
And if traders are taxed/tolled/ pay or die too much...then they quit being traders.

On another idea....i think i will start handing out (paying the pay-off) according to the amount of thought and RP value of said pirate.
"Halt. Pay 2mil or die." ( and nothing more) will get, at best, 250K.
Shoot.Shoot.Shoot at me then Shoot shoot at me more, bringing down my shield and 90% of my hull---then asking "Pay 2mil or die" will either get 'your' paycheck amount deducted by the amount of damage 'you' done to my ship...............or a screaming geisha : "This guy is a terrorist. 30Mill to the group that avenges my death"
If i am killed...that 4 hours I am knocked out of the game....thus not making money.
"Advast thier my Poppet!!!......Arrrg....Such a fine view of a lovely.......Lass. Would you care to donate to the 'Where the blazes did all the Rum go' fund for the thirsty population of Planet Sparrow-5 ??? "
;-)
Just keep in mind Pirate Math when asking for pay-offs: New Berlin to Kyusha is 5 systems...... 2Mill pay off per system per pirate is 10 Mill....I just lost all profit and might as well go play EverQuest.
