And... how can the trader get away? You thrust faster than he does.
Case 2: So, just nuke the trader. The Freelancer cannot engage (if there is no bounty), and the trader is too busy to type while being snacced. That way, you can troll the troll... who can only sit there and watch you scrap the target. If he engages, he breaks 1.3 and BB rules => guns + money has left the room.
