I used to enjoy pirating with my Sabre or Falcy. But the problem doesn't lie entirely with the pirates. Nearly every trader I encounter these days are totally silent. It's often a case of find trader, greet trader, disrupt trader, make demand, catch up with trader, warn again, pew pew. It's boring when they don't talk to try to negotiate and I never make money from doing it. It's not like I ask for much, just 1 million or a request to drop cargo, depending on what I feel like.
If I go to Liberty for some pirating, it's not long before I get 2 indie cruisers coming after me then the Bounty Hunters come crawling out the woodwork to finish me off. So that isn't fun either. Kusari pirating ends in 9 KPTs with a few Hogos showing up, I like Bretonia so I don't pirate there. Rhineland is getting too quiet and too much of a chance of Corsairs appearing...
