Could this one work as a piracy style?

Yeah but is it a demand really?
Also, if you tell the guy "if you call for help, you're dead" and he starts spamming system chat with things, can you just end his life?

You can, I guess. The piracy is over, there was no peaceful solution and it comes to combat. PvP-rules apply.

When I, personally, was dumb enough to step into a pirate's trap and I do not want to pay the pirate I usually summon EVERYONE who could give some help in populated systems (if I am feeling outgunned, that is.)
The pirate still has a chance to take out my ship (if noone arrives in time) and to collect the cash out of my hold (200k in Freighters, 2mil in my Supertransport). I always keep to the 2 hour-rule when shot down.

for those who missed it: the moral of it all is ----> traders with teeth are fun for pirates. - within reason.

Sounds good to me Ivan, besides, theres nothing stopping the trader pm'ing for help.

Well, if he PM's for help, you don't know about it anyway, and it shows enough intelligence to comply with your demands. It just makes things more interesting.

[Exsiled_one]

Yep. And balancing with talking to me and talking to them is something he'll have to master I guess. Smart trader will know he's doomed when I catch him anyway:D

Sounds fun to me. To be "kidnapped" by a pirate is a new and interesting way of RP to me

how about a group of pirates kidnapping a liner filled with VIPs and demand ransom from house police/military/official faction leader?

or just kidnapping miner pilots and demanding demanding ransom from gmg/alg/etc?

[Sprolf]

Yeah, actually, that would make perfect sense to me.
You ask him twice, or he squeals.... if I did that, I'd understand if you started blowing me to pieces, it would be perfectly justified.

Sounds very interesting.
Maybe I'll have to run through Sigma 13 on my freighter.

Yes, it is.

Yes, you can.

So far it went like this.

"Stop now and shut down your engines. Do not call for help or you'll be floating in space faster than any Baf can power up their engines trader"

"..."

"now, those engine components. we'll take them to tripoli so you can sell them there and I'll take third of the profit. Or, you can just lose them here"

"how much do they sell for there?"

"are you daft man? Your life is at stake here, I suggest you start your cruise engine towards D7 and stop acting smart"

"lol, no thx"
