Here's the deal(s): When I do liberation and kill npc convoys it always says they didn't get their 45 second count. To get the full bonus I have to wait then follow them through the wormhole. And I am an impatient person, so I found it obsolete that npc voys should have a count all together if they will never pay the toll. So basically, fix one: the npc's paying the toll (like a 10% chance or something) in which case you get a decent share of money (like 5-25k depending on how many people are in the convoy) or take out the npc's count altogether (which, IMO, would be way more reasonable.)

Another thing: sometimes traders or CtC players take the mission and don't make any effort to do any pirating, only in it for the invulnerability to pirates. I don't really know how to fix this, so discuss this in the replies, please.

Last thing: When you take your cargo, instead of somehow inferring to pay a pirate 5k, could you have them announce the cargo fee? It's just a small change that would make a big difference to people who are new to Liberation. Also if you add this could you also fix the thing where the pirates don't even care if you pay them for the loot the second time you come back? For example: "Avast! That be our loot! Drop it now or die!" *leave sector* "Arrrrgh! Go on the account! (player name) be bait now!" *re-enter sector* "Ahoy! (player name) be with us!"

edit: Right after I posted this, I thought of a way to fix "Last thing" with one fix: Add in something about the share of loot you get for blowing things up, for example, the more cargo that is dropped due to you geting killing blows, that number of cu is yours, otherwise everything else is offlimits. This might help answer "Another thing" in a way that: there would be no one doing liberation to just plain steal loot. Because I've seen people do that before.
