Like I said preveriously, if an un-tagged trader asked me to leave them alone I WILL.
Otherwise (sorry) your a big, fat, clumsy target.
It's hard for pirates and terrorists to show up as red on your HUD's when several traders have, at the very least, a neutral rep with the corsairs or the outcasts and sometimes a neutral rep with ALL the big pirate factions.
This is because they don't want to get destroyed by and lose cargo to NPC pirates. That and the fact that most of the few good / high profit routes go through the outcasts and the corsairs stomping grounds.
My TG trader is hated by most, if not all, pirate factions and I still trade with him because there are other route to use.
Practically every trader I see on the server uses the NY - Delta run.
