' Wrote:You can do that without Merc ID. Just get a bunch of pirates. What's your point?
No, can't do that with Pirate ID. Pirate ID requires you to make a demand that can be complied with. That gives trader a choice, comply or be destroyed.
That's to prevent Pirate ID to be used as Terrorist ID when you roam around killing transports for the sake of killing.
Scenario that has been described circumvents that restriction.
This whole is useless, I hire mercs in transports to bring some more DPS to my pirate and to haul the goods after that. And this since let say a couple of years? Never had a problem with it.
So space is dangerous and if the pirate can hire merc then the trader can hire scout too.:rolleyes:

7.1 All bounties must be posted on the forum. If you attack another player to claim a bounty and the bounty is not posted on the forum, you are open to a PvP abuse sanction.
So if the trade ship being pirated already has a bounty, and if the merc is registered on the appropriate bounty board (is able to claim it), then the merc can do whatever falls under those permissions:
- Can fulfill bounty contract and escort other vessels.
- May not engage in piracy outside of a posted bounty contract.
- May treat trade vessels as combat targets in pursuit of a bounty contract.
Otherwise he can only defend the pirate from attack
