You were placed on the list because a pirate complained you never paid. Now you have paid me in the past ... but to get off of my list will cost you 25 mil (as noted in Atalawohisdi's Hunt List - see link below).
Pirates don't mind a trader that runs. Yes, that is part of the game and part of RP. The problem comes when the trader says they'd, "rather die than pay." Or if they dock and logout ... wait for you to leave the system ... log back in and continue their trading. This is usually preceded by, "oh well, time for bed anyway." Traders gotta be willing to pay once in a while. But most of them are trying to build up the cash for their battleships and the license to go with it. And then guess what ... they use that battleship to hunt pirates. How RP is that?
Solution to your being pirated non-stop in Sigma 13 is to alternate routes now and then. If you see a route is heavily populated with pirates, change to an alternate route. Keep us busy "that way" instead of "I'd rather die than pay." Not our fault traders choose to take the cash cow route.
Niz, you should of at least said that he wasnt accepting before we blew you up.. or you could of sent trade request to me. Because how am i supposed to know he accepted or not.
Like I said before...three times I tried to pay the Outcast....kept accepting then cancelling......firing the whole time....I just thought it was lame....especially since the BLS told me to pay him. No worries:)
Pirates mostly fire on you to make sure you dont run like hell when in the trade screen, happend to me three times yesterday...:dry:
So, dont freak out when one pirate trades with you, and the other keeps shooting at you, its all part of the tactic. And those who just blow you up, those arn't pirates, but wannabe terrorists, such a thing can be reported.
Niz, I was there as my BLS char.. i kept shooting because you kept trying to go in the tradelane. We gave you about 2 minutes. In that time you could of said he wasn't accepting the trades. I only said to send him the trade since he was there first.
when i taxing,first i only ask.when no answer or try to escape,then i open fire to destroy only shield.then i ask again.when still no answer i open fire again and damage half hull.then ask again.when no answer,then i desroy trader.
Best way to pirate some one, ( if you ask me ) :
Fire a cruise disrupter.
Take the trader's shield, and 90% of his hull.
Demand tax.
Give him a couple of seconds
Shoot the recharged shield.
Demand again.
Kill.
- dock ... logout ... wait for you to leave system ... log back in and continue trading
- say "I'd rather die than pay" in system chat ... then they just stare at you until you kill them
- say "ok ok I'll pay" while they are still linked to the trade lane you just shut down ... when the lane goes back live they disappear (I usually tell the trader to exit the trade lane ... if he doesn't, I take him down to at least 50% hull ... they continue this behavior, death). I've even been in a trade window with a trader linked to the lanes ... when the lane went active he laughed all the way to New Berlin
I am less polite to traders that act like this. If you traders want ruthless pirates who just say "2 mil or die," go ahead and keep up this behavior. If you want some decent RP out of a pirate, stop acting like jerks and start RPing yourselves.
