Dear Elders, here is my report.
I have made contact with 3 different traders in Omegas, each encounter ended differently.
First one, Tonya_Rose, I offered her to get lost safely for only two milion credits or to drop her cargo, but surprisingly she didn't seem interested in the options I supplied and tried to run. She was quite resistant but finally I destroyed her Large Train in Cambridge. SF forces tried to comment it on open channels but I disappeared from there quickly. She was trying to confuse me that she had a battleship somewhere near but it just made me laugh. Nice trick...
Second one, trader Meep_meep, opened fire immediatelly. I must say that this one managed to scratch my hull but when he depleted all his bots and bats, he gave up and finally gave me the requested amount (standard 2 mils). He was fighting fairly and at least I didn't have the 'rabbit-killing' feeling as with the first trader who apparently forgot to equip the train with turrets.
Third one, my old 'friend' Orvidos, who thinks, he's the only smarta$$ in the universe. He switched his trading vessel from the defenceless Whale to Large Train but as he paid me with no shots fired last time and with only a few protests, I gave him the chance to finish his trading safely today. But I also suggested him to change his trade route in order not to loose his clever butt next time.
Anyway it seems that there is lack of skilled pirates these days and therefore traders feel much more self-confident than in the old and more chaotic days. I even noticed some IND escort fighters on long range scanners having nothing to do and fighting with each other to improve their lousy flying...
Elders, I think we shouldn't pretend we don't see it and should actively start recruiting some new and fresh blood. There is a lot work to do.
