Piracy roleplaying

[Hone]

I'd never suggest it if I didn't feel that people need a wake up call to teach them how to properly role play. Ship deletion on death would be a wake up call for all players; not just traders.

This would be awesome and have my support.

My thread on it

I was pirated yesterday. I was in a 1k transport, with 1k units of neon and 400k in liquid assets. The pirate asked for 1 million credits. I told them I honestly didn't even have half of it. So they asked for all my cargo. I pointed out that I wouldn't even be able to afford another run, and would put me out of business. He didn't care.

I had no choice but to use deception and then make a break for it. If I had been destroyed, I would have been no worse off than complying.

In RP, my character was faced with being financially ruined, having to make tiny in-system runs until enough capital could be raised to actually make a real profitable run.

Sorry, that's just silly. And if it became common-place, commerce would grind to a halt. It almost did for my character.

Seems like good RP on both sides to me.
