With escorts that bomber would be dead then. But then again, lone CAP 8 Liner in the Omicrons, totally normal to win vs Squid bomber. Totally normal to be in that area without escorts as well.

Oh, you mean like how pirates can get teammates and prevent even well-armored targets from making it to the next base in the first place?
Piracy-trader relations are based on equal numbers. Two pirates against a lone trader should be a guaranteed success. A trader with an escort against a lone pirate should be a guaranteed success.
Drop this stupid argument, please.
I notice how you both completely fail to address the point that traders no longer have any incentive to interact with unlawfuls. You have not given a single reason why traders shouldn't just avoid any unlawful encounter entirely.
On the contrary, your suggestion to "use escorts" - and by extension, use their knowledge to avoid interaction - just reinforces my point.
