I'm a trader and I don't mind bveing pirated - it's an occupational hazzard. The only time I'll act in what may be described as an oorp way is if the other guy does it first.
For example, running engine parts the other day and was told to giove him 8 million or be destroyed. No negotiating. 8 mill now! In that case, I don't think he should get anything amd blowing your cargo up is ok.
Also, if you're gunrunning and get caught by an enemy, isn't it actually good RP to make sure they don't get their hands on it?

You expect pirates to negotiate their demands, really ? Also, for a 5k engine components run, 8 million credits is indeed a bit much.
It is simple for me in all 5 my transports. I get RP, and then a demand that is reasonable for my cargo? Pay it.
I get "2 mil or dai!" I open fire first, and in most cases blow him up while he is typing "you no RP, I report you"
In the past i used to haul ore from Tau23 in IMG transport. I payed many a good RP pirates in Kusari 5-20mil. IMO the OORP fools are all in the same area's, and the RP pirates in the rest.
For example Cali/NY both sides of the JG is lolwut pirate spawning grounds. I do not think i have ever had an RP pirate there, EVER!.
Kusari/Omega's/Taus you usually get the RP chaps.
Also if smuggling stay clear of rheinland. There you get the coppers/military drop all cargo/pay 100mil fine or me and my 10 lolwut caps blow you. Never "blow you up" but "blow you" always confused if this is good or bad. Especially from the female named players.:rolleyes:

I don't really give a damn if a few whiners think that demands and aggression are not inRP. It is in roleplay and allowed by server rules to steal your credits and cargo viciously and nefariously. Don't like it? Don't trade.

ROFL. Lolwut pirate much?
Anyways try it with me. Last 3 times i passed that route i was with 4 other battle transports, and we had 3GB's/3fighters as escort. Go ahead and try your lolwut demands against that. Would love to see the results.
I love your attitude though. "Don't like it? Don't trade." that there would make all you pirates very lonely camping tradelanes hunting nobody. Think before opening that piehole mate. Right now you just sound stupid.

Er...
Wow.
That'd cut off your supply worse than it would the houses I believe.
Pirates would be affected much, much faster due to their limited storage capacities aboard their bases and ships for commodities that are needed for operation.
Houses have large planetside supply depots, space supply depots...
I have been in a 14 ship convoy too. That one was a year ago with all junkers back before Scrap nerfs. Not hard to do when you got alot of ships all mining same area. Just need to convince them strength in numbers. Plus most know the pirate names when they look at chat. Names like "I.TAKE.ALL" "I.WILL.KILL.YOU" "I.WANT.ALL.YOUR.STUFF" makes their RP kind of obvious. You see 4-5 of these in chat?(and shove the power gaming replies, pirates do it to) well you avoid area, or you group up, and hire excorts.
Ever see CONVOY? they are always in a large group.
