I agree. If you demand full cost of profit,or entire load? well you are just looking for PvP. RP s fine and dandy,and i love it,but if it took me 30minutes of gameplay,and 2 minutes from my drop off, i am not going to just give away my entire cargo/profit. I will make a run for it/call in help while delaying,or in my Shire's case, wipe out the pirate while running to base/planet. RP, or not. It is just a prick trying to PvP or ruin someone else's fun.
More Info. I was flying Bowex colour's,and had a load of Diamond's. So i see no RP reason a Hacker would wan't me to dump my entire load. I also stoped as soon as i came out of TL,and RP'd very nice,and victom like. Offered cash,and anything else he may want to let me keep my cargo. All i got was drop it or DAI. I have screens and would post it,but like to keep the name's of both party's ship's out of it.
The way i see it. Anything more then 50% of cargo/profit is just Power pirating. I used to haul Waste in an ALG hauler,with ALG TAG/ID. Know how many times i had a pirate demand 2Mil or DAI right after i loaded up in NY?(for those who do not know it,waste cost's 1 credit there,so max 5000 cred's to fill up).
I died alot,and i killed alot. Max profit was 1.5mil,and i played the char for RP fun. It is just dumb i find.
Before you demand? scan cargo,and know something about it.
On a side note. I killed 5 pirate's in Penn today robbing CSV's/rhino's,and a few other tiny Freighter's. Come on guy's, let the new player's get started before you become dick's.
