' Wrote:Problem is with the Pirate's that just kill you on site when you come back, just for revenge instead of RP'n it.
Let's see, some guy waves a lottery ticket in your face and laughes when you, a punk from the wrong side of town, glares at him and demands it. This guy then runs away, and you can't catch him. ARGH! But then the guy comes back, oh look, another chance at the multi-millions. So instead of waiting for him to run away again you tackle him, punch him in the face, take his wallet, and search him for the lottery ticket.
Is that being a good punk? Yes indeed, it is entirely in-character, and while playing a spaceship game, it's called Roleplay. Just cause you don't like someone's RP (because it's not how you think it 'should be') doesn't mean it's ooRP.

If your trade ship stops and doesn't do anything, I'll sit patiently for a moment or four. If your trader keeps thrusting/cruising/swearing at me then apparently he's not all that interested in his phone call/dog/personal time.
