Bump up the profits, no way, considering you can make a ton anyway with PvE zones, getting a billion is very easy nowadays.
Second, profits shouldn't be the focus. Third, bombers overpowered against transports, bombers are made to kill caps, a single lightly armored transport should not be able to tank a bomber and win outright. If
your concerned your transport might be attacked by a bomber find escorts or just find a path around the pirate.
Or a radical concept but hear me out......you PAY THE PIRATE.
