Depends largely on where/who you pirate. Cross sees a lot of the same thing in Tau-23 when we do our piracy raids through the surrounding areas.
Honestly, if they're going to drop RP and say "kill me, its cheaper" then by all means, just kill them.
Strangely, piracy with groups of others tends to yield less people going "lol ima run"-- likely due to their decreased chances of survival should they flee. Either way-- piracy will live on-- reap on ye reaper-man
