I want player interaction.
Would you pirate the same player multiple times within an hour in the same location.... as well as 2 other miner players? if its interaction your after then surely changing your location would give you more interaction variation possibilities?

There were 2 other miners in that location that were also pirated multiple times by the same player in the same location. OK so not exactly within the 30min time frame i specified but still within a session..... gets a little tedious and boring when your asked for money and you pay and thats it for interaction... time and time again in the same session. gets borin.
just sayin
Then a BMM came along and tried to touch my junk. Well, first he tried to just ram his percheron into my trunk. Then the junk-touching. Then he tried to bribe me with rock candy.
(Some) Traders don't bother to roleplay because (some) pirates don't push them for it and just want the demand met. I've seen (some of) the most clueless lolwuts or (some of) the most greedy powertraders actually dish out some quite amusing bits of roleplay when the pirate's kept them pinned and forced them to actually roleplay rather than "Give me what I want and get lost".
But screw that. Let's just camp a lane and demand 2 mils from every passing ship cause no matter what one does, there's always the 2milRdai type and there's always the silent runner type.
P.S: Didn't mean anyone in particular from people who've posted here. Just saying.
Hey, I actually liked paying 100k instead of the demanded 1mill and then talking my way out of the rest while I slowly drifted towards the lanes coming back online...

Make it so all pirates can do is demand cargo.
I made the same suggestion once. My hope was that it would lead to pirates using cargo ships instead of using military gear.
