No.
Its not.
If the cargo shipment is worth less than the pirate wants to tax you, then I would say bite me and they'd kill me, and id powertrade it back.
most want 2-3 million, i would think...
Besides, thats what battleship escorts are for, no muss no fuss.
An AFA taxed my trader, even though i wasnt carrying food like his IFF says they dont like.
Whatever, I make over 291 million that night, and im fine:).
Traders WILL ALWAYS make more money trading than pirates will pirating.
Its just like that.
