So what's it about, then? If it's about the credits, you can do that a whole lot better as a lawful trader than as a pirate.
If it's about the RP, you're a whole lot more likely to get good RP out of someone when you haven't just given them three choices: Hand over all your cargo (and lose the last hour of mining and transporting), hand over 20mil (and lose the last hour of mining and transporting), or die (and lose the last hour of mining and transporting).
If it's not about the blue message, then, it must just be about making the other guy miserable. Take your pick, I guess.

Dude, its RP. Rip forces you to drop it, Rogue grabs it, each get a split (I'd think).
If you dont like it, take a different way to your destination.
' Wrote:You demanded that my miner give over 20 million credits or drop all cargo when I ran into you in Frankfurt. Not really sure why, I stopped when you asked and was actually talking, and I can see from your inRP thread that you typically ask for 2 or 3mil. I guess you just had it out for me.
In any case, asking 20mil from anything smaller than a Barge (and giving the alternate choice of dropping all cargo, which for niobium ore is a loss of about 20mil) makes it pretty obvious that you're just looking for a blue message.
You've got *three* threads on the forums for you. I could definitely see possibilities for RPing someone who's deluded themselves into thinking they're a king, but you've totally missed the boat and are pretty much just looking for attention and PvP as far as I can tell.
I mean, I could be totally wrong, seeing the comments you've received from others. But seriously? Asking for 20mil? Dropping all cargo, when you don't really have an RP basis to demand that (the way the Xenos do)? If you want to see blue messages, go to Connecticut.
*points to Rogues post* Yes we split it 50 50, or if he's not on, then i get my good friends inRP, the Junkers Congress to help out

True, ALOT of traders now avoid me:(
But Heilor I am sorry for making you upset, if im thinking of the right person, you did get away no? was a great chase. I'll work on trying to make 'stealing' a cargo load of ore as pleasant as possible.

No, I didn't get away, I got blown up with less than 1k left to the base, that was the most frustrating part. Maybe I should invest in a CAU for my miner, that would've made the difference:P
It was a learning experience for me. Up to that point, even when I would see a pirate show up at the 14k in front of me on the lane, I would keep going into it for the RP, because the RP usually outweighed whatever I lost. Now, though, as soon as that red shows up, I exit the lane, turn, and run the other way. Safer that way. Thanks for the education, I guess.
