A tilt towards a better life for traders!

[Jinx]

i don t think the pirates life is too easy, nor is the traders life. - it appears quite balanced - provided that the pirates make sure that their rep is the way its supposed to be.

when i fly near leeds on clover, i can count to 3 and i ll have like 9 polive cavalier on me, and a minute later, at least one battleship group spawns on me with its ( much tougher ) templars. - of course, when i was not kill-on-sight to the BAF, i d have a quite life there.

about the CDs - well, yes, they are quite funny sometimes. i remember being chased on Clover by two BPAs - and they were, i think 1 - 2k behind me .. we were both on cruise, - and i got shot out of cruise by them. ( its funny.... i dropped CMs - but it seems like dropping one CM is as effective as dropping a dozen. when the first one is ignored by the missile, it appears the second one won t do any good either )

on the other hand, i had traders escaping my train CD easily. - had one yesterday, that was like 700 away and was engaging cruise. the CD was fired, and i am sure it caught up with him - but did not disrupt him.

all in all, i have the feeling as if its well balanced. ( allthough i agree with epyon that - once you re close enough, its impossible for a trader to engage cruise, no matter what he tries ( if the CD hits the CM, it blows up and disrupts the transport, if it ignores the transport, it blows up and disrupts anyway ))
but there is no need to change anything about traders / pirates. when pirates stick to their space, they are quite predictable and avoidable.
