There is no reason anyone should ban multiple accounts. I use multiple accounts from time to time. Most of the time flying with one and talking with another.
Now the traders hiding and camping thing.
Do any of the people wondering why its bad realize why NPC (the Pirate faction during the -=?=- period) disbanded and left?
Oh thats right, because they couldn't pirate. Every single trader (and even sometimes fighters and 1-2 gunboats) have ran and docked when I asked for money or cargo. Not a single complied or even responded. First thign they did was hit the cruise and fly off to a base. And there is no way to stop a train in cruise. Its completely immune to cruise disrupters. Face it guys. There is NO WAY for someone to pirate a trader. I have started shooting first and killing them for the lootable cargo. Thats the only way to make some money out of it. And comon people! NY wasn't made non-pvp to protect traders from pirates. It was made so people had a place to talk with others without getting attacked by someone. It WAS NOT made that way to be available for traders to hide from pirates until they logged off.
There are only a few ways to fix this problem.
1.) Somehow make trains susceptible to cruise disrupters.
2.) Not allow traders to camp in NY or on bases/planets (can't really be enforced though...).
3.) Make trains take a long time to go to cruise (this could work).
4.) Make trains incredibly weak, which also makes NPC pirates too strong against them.
Now only 2 of those really work without the Traders help, or making them too weak, and one of them has probably been tried and apperantly noone can find out how to fix the disrupters not working.
We have to solve this problem or our server is going to be missing a very important factor. Pirates. We barely ever get new pirate factions and when we do they disappear in a week or two.
