I usually tax traders more when I notice they try to fool me (paying just 5M for train full of ore), or when they try run or stall the RP while waiting for help, so I go harsh on them. Maybe admins should sanction traders for kill me its cheaper "rp" ?
Transports got their armor nerfed by a reasonable chunk.
The way I like to harass a transport while i'm waiting for him to pay me is shooting down his shields, maybe do a little bit of hull damage, would keep him on edge.
And setting a reasonable time period to pay (say 30 seconds or so).
Ah, yes, proving my point: payordai, seeyabai. Not enough time to RP, then complain that they don't want to interact.
I only do it because traders will most likely call their buddies, and when they do I feel so stupid for even interacting and wasting my time with them.
You cannot know what trader is the type who will RP or calls his friends to gank on you.
Piracy is a bad way to make money anyways, so mostly I would actually look for RP with traders, but nah, most are silent and/or calling their friends when we type our novels at each other, so doing the restrictions you quoted me from above is a sure way I don't get to die so easily.
I belive this 30 secs thing should not exist. If you really that badly want to give time limits then be reasonable, say 2-3 minutes. (Not everyone has as much experience in role play as the senior members of the community. Newbies like myself need time to figure out what to say/do.)
