6. Piracy is the least profitable way to make a living in Disco, so pirates aren't doing it from greed. They are doing it because it's fun. So help make it fun. A good pirate loves a good chase, and doesn't mind losing a catch every so often. Without risk, there is no real reward after all. So do your best to put up a good fight to save your cargo and treasury, but if the pirate wins, don't cheat him out of the reward for his hard work.
That works great provided said pirates aren't the type to get trigger happy and go for the 5 second-your-dead kill.
On the flip, the traders that don't stop...and go 'MAKE ME" are just making the pirates madder and madder....thus, the next poor trader that comes along doesn't even get the chance to sh*t himself before being blasted.
I posted and replied many times to this type of subject:
Shoot...shoot...and shoot some more,etc,etc.....are just a few of my 'rants'.
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah. Ect,ect,ect.
It doesn't take much for someone to head down to the Employment Office and put out a contact on a 'bad pirate'.
And if the 'bad pirate' is too bad, the contract can soon turn into a 'Pot Luck' , with other traders and victuims, all pitching in on the bounty.
Nothing like an ad saying:
----------------------------------------- Wanted : Player X killed everytime he/she fly's thier ship.
Details: We are a group of X number of traders and victuims, that will work for an entire week, making funds and money, that will be placed in a Trust Fund.
Trust Fund is will be used for everyone that help keep this guy/gal off the air.
As many times as needed.

That one he** of an ad, and trust us....it almost got posted a few times.
