Also this was well written by Laura C. :
Good. Go and have fun. Better use of time than writting and reading in this thread I guess. I just hope you won´t return with "lawfuls in house shot me down, that is not fair, I was unarmed cap, change the rules" qq...

And again do not QQ later

so you are going to do the standard lolzoner move of flying a cap into house space?

Lets make the pirates life even harder, why don't we.

Implying there won't be any noticeable difference between a pirating trying to solo-shoot a transport and a pirate trying to solo-shoot a capital ship.

How can you be so sure I won't come out of this fine n' dandy?

if I have rp that automatically makes this a deliberate non lolwut move.

see you in space ^_^

If something is unpirateable, it's not a trade ship.

If something trades, then it is a trade ship

No atmosphere? GTFO.

How can he be sure? Because most Navy players just look for any excuse to shoot someone, they do a two line RP then engage, have fun with that, not only will two pirate bombers take you out pretty quickly when you have 0 guns, you'll have the Navy on your tail too.

If don't want to be pirated, trade in Gallia! :p

This is what I mean by missing the point. I'm not talking about the definition of the word. I'm talking about what's required for something to qualify for the rule definition of "trade ship".
Trade ships are supposed to be vulnerable to piracy - which is why they have docking as a "win condition" instead of dying.
If something is not vulnerable to piracy, then it should not get this rule exception, either.

Light fighters aren't pirateable either, and they're not treated as trade ships either.

Well this went on for far too long. The exception is intended for trade vessels while trading. Capital ships are not trade vessels just because you can trade in them.
