As a trader who runs a very popular route, I've noticed a rise in pirating attacks. I have been forced to station more and more (properly tagged as mercenarys) firepower in the sectors to keep my profits from getting plowed. Is this a good practice however, I ask? Even if you don't F-1 out of the fight amd let your ship be pirated or destroyed, is it still against the rules to log back into your merc char afterwards? RP'ing that is simple, "I have a merc on retainer and I put a call out to him". But is it right? Don't know.
