That is a really lame excuse...
As lancer-x said, the enemy does not stop attacking you when you have to reload a weapon.
I've lost a few fights because my weapon groups screwing up. I've learned to check that those are ok before engaging. Also, unless they attack you right after you jump in, you had 14k to check that everything was ready to fight them, or to avoid them.
If you are not ready to fight, you could hire excorts so they can protect you instead of being all too greedy to avoid expending a few bucks on some help...
And if you are not ready to RP, then log off. This is the Discovery RP 24/7 Server, not the "I RP when im feeling like it" server.
If a trader does not responds, wait 7 seconds and then kill it. You have 13 seconds to destroy it before the ship disappears. Say something like "STOP. Give me 3 mill or i'll kill you. You have 5 seconds" If they doesn't hit trade request, blow him up. That's what i would do.
