hmm, how much should they give you?
I mean, you can make about 100k each 5 minutes, 10 if your slow or unlucky.
So how much should they give you to make it even worth 1 min taking and another minute accutally do a trade (which involves the risk for you to get killed)
so we have here about 2 minutes at the BARE minimun, (which is total utopic, cause you need anyway much longer per victim)
2 minutes, so its worth again at the bare minium 20k credites, or if we get from the standart 100k each 5 mins that you can do in a combat ship in omicron theta, than its even 40k.
peanuts for a high level player, but half the cargo for a lower end player.
double this amount so the pirate actually start to gain more from this instead of doing just missions. now we are at 80k credits.
how much player do you think are willing to give a pirate 80k credits? just that he does not destroy a cargo that is most likly less worth to buy ... heck, often will not even make much more profit than that.
it has a reason why often kill some ppl several times, and after that PAY them an eagle when they keep complaining that they are to weak.
money is first, totaly worthless, second totaly easy to gain, and third low levelers have not enough to give you, that it would be worth wasting the time.
so please can you explain me again where my gain in pking someone really is?
wow he just give me 500k credits that I do not kill his cargo worth 250k ... wow wow, now I can refile my torps and mines again
oh wait this cost me 700k ... hmmm maybe I should have done instead 4 missions in omicron theta ... cause I needed first 30 minutes to find actually a player with enough cargo, than I needed to another 2 hours to acutally find one that cares about beeing killed, and than it took me 5 minutes to make the trade ... in 5 minutes alone I could have done half a mission ... yeah sounds like a big logical reason to do this.
If your telling me that this can be fun, well than you maybe found a reason do actually do it, the game itself defintaly does NOT GIVE YOU ONE.
that 90% of all players won´t only tell you to **** off if you ask for their cargo does not really help
though aswell 90% of them calling you names when you kill them 10 seconds after you nice "question"
but well maybe something changed this week, was not on elite since friday ...
