Indeed wrong. I try to catch a cap8 miner hegemon from let say 2 weeks and I cannot took it down- why? It have enough armour to run to the base- even with 2 heavy bombers he managed to escape. Two Days ago I ran alive(20k) from 3 Marquis ships one of them was GB- My tranp have cau6.
I see perfect and reasonable if the Pirate catch the trader to took maximum of what he can take- whatever credits or cargo. "Pirate for RP" and taking 100k from every trader is lame and dont suit what one actual pirate encounter should be. Pirates should scary the traders take all possible in the fastest way possible and disappear before the police/military catch him. As for the limit- 3k is ok for the normal ships. Not for the barge- so there are events that could be triggered by the dead of any ship- there was a topic in the dev forum about it. May be adding 10k scrap will do with the barge. And are you sure that it is codded? I have some old memories that I looted more then 3k from transports, may be I am wrong but still...
