well, I always try to roleplay a bit when pirating. The thing is that, many traders dont want to. I was real surprised when a zoner came to me and complained he just wanted some rp before paying tax. The next time he passed, I rp with him, and I've agreed to just take a fee of 1M and let him go for the rest of the night.
Simply, I will priviledge the rper over the non-rper. You dont rp? fine, I'll do as you do, 2M everytime you pass in OUR dragon system.
Its jsut so anoying, that both pirate and traders doesnt rp anymore. I try, but cant always when while typping something the other profit to run away.
Oh and a little addendum to my post, gratz if you RP with me, nongratz if you pretend to Rp whilst running away. By nongratz, i mean death to you.
And exactly what are all of you traders saving up for? Max level? Max cash? WOW!!!!
And what do you achieve if you don't bother to RP through the entire process? You achieve being the most boring person in the game, hauling commodities through systems with no essential purpose, and not even bothering to RP.
well i cant say much on pirating my personal lines are
"halt (insert name here)"
if im on a non lohingren char
"i want 2 million in the name of our Archon lohingren"
if they try say anything after that il do a little RP with em.
i even had a bit of fun taxing or sorry getting a 'donation' from geisha the other day. was a fun one after chasing a certain Repex half way across sirius. *stares at that certain someone*

Yeah, Geisha RP's pretty well, about the only trader that does though. Or everyone else stays clear of Kusari -_-
"Halt!"
"You will now pay a contribution of 2 millions to the Blood Dragons for daring entering or space... or I'd enjoy blasting your ship - and your crew into so much more floating ashes... is that clear?" (that being said in many ligns since FL cant allow you to say a lot at a time)
I will actually shoot a few conving shots with my forward gun just to make things clear.
If they manage to escape, I will feign to be outraged, if they pay, I will hush them out of the system and warn them to never come back
Outcasts and BD's should get the "anti-b!tch trader" torpedo weapon. One that homes in on the biggest source of self-righteousness in the system ( ALWAYS a trader with too much cash), and reduces their shield and hulls to 1%
I need one of those.

I mean, I'd have more respect for traders if there was actually a point to what they were doing, however, ferrying around cargo doesn't count as a purpose.
bah. most are unfortunately for buying cap ships.
Like that USS Mad Max. I thought for a second he called me jerk in rp (and was actually glad he did so!), but when he came back, I knew all the time he was damned occ... completely deceived.
Well I can only speak for my trader ships, but they all have reason to fly. [V] is supporting the [V] Forces. It also will occasionally go wreck looting too, on a whim. He's a leader and has need of weapons and equipment, and of course money. [TAZ] well he really just makes money to spend it too. Also he does favors for Eris, like getting new people going and help them learn a thing or two when they get here.
I remember being a noob here. Its hazey, yes, but I can see it still. VERY overwhelming, then you have people that are not willing to even chat, much less RP. Makes for a cold welcome. Now ther are (sorry guys) Xenos and such that are keeping low level so they can hunt these noobs....Not very sporting. When they are after set up ships its one thing, but I've seen times when I was like, 'That was WRONG'. I am no ADMIN, nor wish to be. The Angels is a great group, was even an Angel once myself. Would join again if welcomed back. I do the job anyways, and ask nothing but they do it for a new person one day as I did for them. Easy, right? Don't seem to be. I know I've put out well over a 100 mil. AT LEAST! I understand the people keepin low level, but take it aaway from Manhattan. Give people a break. Its just as easy at a gate or hole or even a lane. I've heard many people that haven't even gotten started because of this kind of crap.
