Offer yourself as an escort and make people pay you up front.
Then fly away.
Haha! Good idea, I'll have to try that, or actually escort him, and if we see a pirate, help the pirate instead by CDing he trader.
Or how about this: Follow a trader as a FL, get him in the middle of a lane somewhere, CD him, and talk in system saying stuff like "He's between Manhattan and West Point", "He's hauling Gold Ore, get here quick!", just pretend you have pirates coming to help.
Great ideas, boys. <sarcasm>
You know we have been trying to find escorts for years and we have been trying to motivate traders to hire some for... as long as I can think.
If what you describe happens to a trader once, he will never ever hire an escort again.
Thinking about the consequences of your actions might be worth it.
