Piracy roleplaying

[Bloom]

There's a lot of stuff in between LFs and GBs. Bombers, for one. Ptrans/Ptrain, for that cargo piracy of yours.

Of course there is stuff in between, but I will be prone to use whatever guarantees more chances of success.

I enjoy RPing with a pirate who's in it for the RP. I do not enjoy being bent over by a pirate who's only in it for a blue message or the money (seriously, if you want money, go trade, it's faster).
Again, escorts are worthless, scouts are not, and I'm not going to pay someone so I can have the privilege of not getting any RP on a trip.

Exactly, how do you know what the pirate's in for? Are you a psychic? It honestly looks like a frustrated trader's way to belittle the mean pirate.
As for the other point....I'll just trown a wild idea out there: have you considered roleplaying with your escort? I heard they can do that too :shok:

Hey, if I can't have it, you can't have it either.
The trader already is losing when he runs into a pirate. Denying the pirate anything material out of the bargain is just a little bit less losing, especially if the pirate's being an OORP jerk about the matter.

Wait wait...you're complaining about pirates' lack of roleplay, yet you talk like that? Seriously?
