I have found out space and have been working 10hrs in space tradeing i got sheilds auto pilot and 3000cr trade monney and all taken by vanishel i think his name is spelled. I never knew that all your monney and stuff could be taken from you in one death i thout it only took the stuff you had been trading. I am NOT GOING TO START OVER WITH 500cr that i have right now.

What happend was vanishel just join the soler setem i was in and then i frooze i press F12 to exit and i do. I thought my battiers were going low so i went to get my plug and and then get back on and find all my stuff is GONE!!! Now this just ticks me the wrong way! i will be play on worlds, but not on space unless my stuff is restored to me some how.

Dogs,

and another player leaves space due to piracy

he probably started shooting at you as soon as he entered the system (!find would have said exactly where you were if you were near a planet) thus putting you in red alert. then when you logged off, it counted as loosing the battle and thus lost your stuff.

That is frustrating. I lost 166,000 cr worth when it happened to me.

Piracy is a good part of the game and adds alot to the challenge. I think the answer to all this talk about piracy and find command and noob and trader protection lies in more defensive options when you are in a battle. Like having the choice to run on red alert but if you are hit you are dead. I think if an out gunned ship had some small chance of escape it might make a big difference. It would be cool if a skilled pilot in a cargo ship could escape from a galactic cruiser at least some of the time.

I agree with shorty.

Maybe all u space traders could either make a pact with the various factions, or trade in numbers.
A bit of thought goes a long way

yeah peeps with a life and timezones would find trading in organized groups hard to set up. any way, a group of fatboys is just more booty 4 pirates... wat could they do?

Well...a group of fatboys with no shields IS just chum in the water. However, a group of fatboys with shields, outside fed space, and missles can give any lone wolf a bad day. Maybe even a couple pirates a bad day. Granted, it may feel like you're fighting a tank with a sledgehammer, but no obstacle is insurmountable.

Hey you can leave but instead of always complaining about piracy think on a strategy to fight against it. You will not succeed with anything complaning about pirates, piracy wont stop by now, only if Mit disables all weapons in all system but I dont think that will happen.

Try and fight pyracy instead of complaning. Pirates have always chased traders.

pirates have also usually had a pretty good advantage.
weapons, bouties, and item claiming worked long before defenses.

overall, the fact of the matter is that economy and fighting is a hard thing to balance.
most people who like economy don't like fighting that much.
meanwhile, fighting seems to be fun for all when there is nothing to gain OR loose.

ive noticed the last couple days now that everytime you are shot at you disappear from the system. this can be one of several things, with the 2 most likely being either you are logging off (in which case you lose the fight and any cargo or bounty you had) or you are experiencingsome sort of bug which you need to report. id suggest you get someone to shoot at you while you have no cargo,and make sure you dont log off, to see if you are having an issue that needs to be reported.
