Pirate in Multiplayer

Just wondering what the general concensus is on people pirating other players in multi player. Are there many of us out there or am I the only one.

You're not the only one. But you're one of the few. Victims of yours will general refer to you as "asshole," but you're only making the game more exciting to them

This is why I don't play on public servers.

This game needspirates pirates and some pkers--I mean, how much fun is it running trade lanes when you already have 900,000 space bucks.

A fun thing to do other than outright pricacy is charge a "toll." Hangout by a much-frequented place,such as New Tokyo and charge 50,000 space bucks to anybody you see. Also, protection $ is good--

"Hey buddy, you need an escort- I can take care of it for 10,000 space bucks." If they say 'no,' blast them and say,"Buddy, you need an escort. ..."

Ususally it helps to have a small group doing the extorting, pirating. Picking on players is much more difficult than blowing the hell outta trains.. .

Well, being pirated isn't fun when ur a n00bie with 1000 credits, carrying diamonds from Dresden to New Tokyo. Ask "Lando Calrissian" why.

You could call it protection money. Make it a protection racket. Like the Mafia.

But if I see you, I'll blast the **** out of you

On some servers me and a friend block of one of the sigma's and charge a Toll for flying through our space but i hate escorting freighters you just form up with them then read or something till you get stopped. If your in game and you Get a message saying Avast ye Land Lubbers you'll know its me, so be kind and pay the toll. :p
