The Essence of Piracy
I can haz ransom?
Some pirates use their head. They grab your industrial quickly with a heavy interdictor (whose “infinite point” overrides any warp core stabilizers), invite you quickly to a private channel, negotiate a ransom, and send you on your way.
Other pirates, not so much. They just two-volley you with multiple gank battleships, getting less ISK in the process.
Yes, you can haz my ransom
And some of us traders should think through their own tactics a little more so as not to run into both types in the same trip. Because last night… well, let’s just say Essence has more variety than my friend might have thought. I mean, it happened to a friend, but it could happen to anybody, right? Everybody gets caught sometimes…
