There is bad interaction and there is good interaction. Metagaming to hunt someone down is one of the bad ones.
This is easily solved. Here's my version...
Trader 1: Hi Trader 2, where're you going?
Trader 2: *Smiles knowingly to himself* Hey! I'm going to *Says name of system where he is not going.
*Trader 1 docks and switches to pirate 1 located in named system*
Pirate 1: Haha, that juicy trader should be through here any second....yup...any second at all...
*Trader 2 docks safely in real destination and makes millions upon selling cargo*
I've done this. I dunno if it's good RP, but technically my trade character is cynical anyways, and wouldn't normally trust another person, just like I am in real life.
However, I guess the examples above mine are unavoidable if you are serious about your RP and your character is naieve or automatically trusting of everyone.
Honestly though, my example was a joke, because, if some sort of lawful asked my traders destination, I tell the the truth for good rp. After all, said lawful person is there to make sure I'm not breaking the law. Because my trade character is law abiding, I have nothing to hide. But, if said lawful switches to pirate and screws up my day...well I guess that's what keeps disco interesting...
