well
I see no problems with Black vertigo's demands.
They are reasonable not like some when the gold boom was on. The demands were 10-15 mil or die.
As a trader I have no issue with 500k to 1mil in demands. Heck one time I invited the pirate onboard for drinks and gave them several cases of whiskey ( in Rp). was let go. best pirating RP I ever had. By the way it was the Cartel at the time.
I try and see what kind of Rp the pirate does if bad I give nothing if good I will pay.

"I have no issue with demands that don't cost me anything"
4.85, 40m worth of gold ore. 30m demand was perfectly reasonable.
Go play singleplayer
Here's another example: A pirate catches IC|Stork full of Helium-3 on the New London gate in Leeds. In a mirror universe, he misses a few seconds and catches him on the Leeds gate in New London. Each time he is given a 20m demand. Considering the cargo is worth 54m and he paid 19m for it, half of his profit is very reasonable, but is he likely to pay? If they're smart the answer is yes - if they die they lose 20m purchase price in cargo plus their time. You may be wondering why I brought up the systems. If they die in Leeds, they can go through the Omegas. If they die in New London, they can't deliver to Southampton for 4 hours - effectively an entire day of FL for most.
When I pirate someone I put some creativity into it like sometimes I give them a choice of paying a normalish fee or.. They can gamble on a game of my choosing using /dice /coin if they lose the fee doubles if they win, they are free to go. Or if they are in a faction thts an enemy it halves.

2. Your life yields to me. I am superior than you. I don't need to explain myself or my techniques.
- What I have said in my first and second posts on this thread is realistic and supports RP.
- By taking in account all the variables it allows me to put variety into every line of RP and every scenario of PvP I am in.
WOW! Total fail. You just do not get it. Using "RANK" to determine pirate demand is not RP, it is Metagaming. Ships do not have a big flashy "I am worth $$$" flashing on outside of ship. So i will not try to explain further. Just hope to see you in game, and screen for sanctions.
This is why RP is going to hell. People think Meta gaming is RP.

Maybe you're actually just anti-RP?
EDIT: You never informed me what you meant when you said "Tool!", also, rule 3.4.

fighters/bombers/freighters: no piracy
caps: 2 mills if it's outgunned and surrenders, else - blow it away.
transports: 500k - 6-7mills(if with ore)
And people rarely try to run away from me or complain about high demands. I don't use /setmsg because I like to talk with people and RP a bit to give a good a reason of my demand.
Hmm,that's a strange thing. Traders complain of Pirates' bad RP,pirates complain of Traders' bad RP. While both of them make a mess.
First off,i've always been a pirate,and I'd say,if those Traders don't like my demand,or the way i pirate them tell them to get rid of me,tell them to try their best to avoid me.
Firstly,i've came across lots of traders who even don't stop when you say so,so how the hell can a pirate make a good RP with them?
Secondly,I do really appreciate your working to learn the newbies how to pirate well.
Thirdly,about that:"scaling your demand" Hmm. Don't they like being ordered to pay much money? Then tell them to haul less expensive cargo. That's all. I do demand 8 millions,even 9 millions. All depends on what the trader carries and the way he starts the communication with me.He/she starts being rude,so i start being rude too.
