Signed.
A problem so far is that trading transports get the same treatment as pirating transports. If you're in a transport and you pirate other traders, you shouldn't be surprised if you get attacked by caps that are allied with your victim. Attacking traders who are just trying to trade with a cruiser or even a battleship to rob them for cargo or credits (the difference between offensive and defensive action) is absolute overkill, in 99% of the cases ooRP, and certainly doesn't contribute to a fun playing environment.
