Pirating in Omega 3

[Vahir]

In Omega 3, I frequently find Freeport 1 camped by a Corsair or another, who demands credits. This strikes me as the worst possible way to pirate- I've always passed them without ever paying the credits, or even loosing any NB/SB. Do they actually think you'll pay credits instead of just docking? I can't wrap my head around this.

1. shoot NPCs
2. sell loot on Freeport
3. ...
4. profit

I guess they spend spare time demanding money from traders.

There are no Corsairs at Freeport 1 because everyone knows that Corsairs are adamantly against using Freeports that sit near space which compromises the tactical advantage of neighboring sovereignties.

This would be true if they didn't always ask "Two mill or die" (Not a stereotype, that's a quote).

@DustyLens, that's true in theory, but there's always Corsairs who are allergic to RPing that pirate there anyway.

I bumped into them just now... Two of them, to be exact.

Screen + com-thread to the station administrators/BAF.
Problem solved.

NFZ is a nice thing.

Were they working for El Presidente?

Hm, there is high chance they are just incompetent like most pirates are.

That is not a bad demand. I had a pirate who asked for 15 millions :rolleyes:and my full cargo hold value was 6.5 millions. He made the mistake of stopping me way to close to the trade lanes so I was pulled into them as they came online. But seriously, why would I pay 15 million to escape with a 6.5 cargo hold? :nono:

This is why I always show pirates the middle finger instead of paying them.
