While remote-flying my Omega-3 based Praetorian Moros, I intercepted a Boxex train headed to Bretonia (and Liberty) from Rhineland.
We had a civilised conversation, in which the pilot offered as many military vehicles as I could carry, in exchange for his free passage.
In order to seal the agreement, I transferred to his ship a number of worthless civillian pilots whom I had captured, along with a number of other innocuous cargo crates.
We parted ways amicably.
However, I was alarmed during the meeting to have been harassed by a Sails pilot Guilliano, who insisted that the cargo vessel be destroyed, there and then.
Luckily, the pilot backed down when informed of my position, and after I had explicitly laid claim to the prey.
I am greatly concerned that a Sails pilot would dare to attempt to steal the prey of an Elder, and even more concerned that this Sails pilot was intending to go back on one of the Corsairs' oldest traditions; that traders are exploited, NOT killed on site, as is written in our scriptures as laws laid down by our gods.
I think, perhaps, this pilot should read up on our scriptures, and know that whilst many of us have abandoned archaic traditions such as the belief in such gods, that these old and wise traditions SHOULD be observed, for the good of the empire.
