But what I mean't was that you leave the trader with no option but to either die or pay. Most people die because they don't want to pay, but I think from now on i'll just keep killing them until they do pay.
And yes, Victor, I agree with you. However, this isn't to say there isn't a solution. A certain friend of mine and his pals pirate in gunboats, and because this person has been around for a long time, he knows when battleships appear. When this happens, they just switch to battleships too, and suddenly its 3 battleships against one.
So, if pirates work together, there isn't much that a trader can do about you on his own, and I have seen a lack of cooperation between traders. Not because they don't want to, but just because if they wait, then they lose money.
It shouldn't be necessary for pirates to have big guns every where, but it is at present. However, with that new rule, things will change.
