Another strategy against pirates

andreas... the idea is good in general, but you were the aggressor in the situation. You did continually attack him while he was dueling and while I was repeatedly asking you to stop. In the future it would be nicer if you used help that was offered, instead of antagonizing people, because you're mad at them.

Dueling is a really good way to stop pirates. Ask someone on your team who's good at fighting to duel with the pirate, it's fun for everyone involved. If they don't want to duel then better player on your team should just attack them when they pirate.

Forum moderator is right, I removed the posting. Lets try to be a little bit more constructive here. The forum exists to discuss what we can change in the gameplay to help the problem. I think there should be a negative bounty (how about -50,000) on unmodified freeby busses. When a player hits anything else than a bot with the laser, the bounty goes back to normal 40. This should disencourage pirates to bother noobs.

Why bother? It's not like you lost a whole lot when your unmodified bus gets blown up. All you have at risk is your cargo, and if you transport expensive cargo in an unmodified bus you deserve to die.
