Quote:but again flying a huge defenseless ship with no escort. do you RP a suicidal trader?
Depending on the person and ship, that might not be the case. Especially since the bigger ships are anything but defenseless (I'd like if more were like the Whale, but that's another subject). For instance, a Big Dragon has several rather large guns - I'd think that would be adequate in house space.
In the Border Worlds, that does make more sense, but the crew might be arrogant and think they can handle anything. Though I'm inclined to agree with you on your point in this situation.
