As we know, the most profitable mining field is located in Dublin - BFA's are completely overwhelmed as they chouse sometimes not even depart from Essex.
I usually mine 2750 cargo of gold ore in about 30 minutes, it's very hard to make your own profits if every 3 minutes a pirate comes with:
- 4 mils pls or I kill you
- cargo pls
- aaa u don't have cargo ? you will work for me all day long to fill my pirate transport with 3000 units - don't want ? Then you will never get back here !
- Whoaaa 2750 gold ore ? 10 mils pls !
Let's think ... we are full of cargo and we're leaving from Dublin to NY - Three pirates awaiting us nearly california or sometimes even NY !
I got:
- Drop cargo pls
- 10 mils pls
Even if I had 2 ESCORTS ! These damn pirate bombers are the fastest I had ever seen !
There should be a rule, like: "If you got pirated this hour, you cannot be pirated again THIS HOUR !"
The pirates don't even care if you tell them: "Hey dude ! A pirate just come and took me 5 mils, you want my cargo now ?" - but why ? That's not a game ! This is complete hammering !
If a chouse to a longer route (Tau37) an outcast comes every 10 minutes ...
What's your opinion about this ? Pirates all wants to be paid ! But HOW should I pay them if they DO NOT let me to make my own money !??!
The way to use escorts effectively is to send them ahead of you, so if there are pirates on the lanes they warn you so you're not even in the line of fire.
And you should pay me, because you know I'll kill you.
Oh, and if you mine together with friends in Dublin it makes it harder for lone pirates to successfully pirate you.
[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.

Pay attention to your HUD. Work in teams. Even better, when you're loaded with ore DON'T USE THE LANES. Take the scenic route. Plan your journey. Most pirates are easy to avoid if you spend some time planning. The profits from mining are huge. The profits from robbing miners are also huge. Flies gather where the #### is thickest.
Hire Samura Escorts ... oh wait ... ah well if your Kishro or IMG you still can, non of our ore shipments ever got pirated, removal of GC and BMM pirates is free of charge.
