Proposal:

NPCs should tell their story : )

If ye shoot a convoy and some ships of the escort manage to reach the destination ye should loose 1 (more?) point of standing with the convoy faction for each ship that survived.

kill em all : )

PS might be tricky to implement though : )

We can just say the WTDs have tunnel vision and just don't care, though, because they tend to go way the hell ahead.

I've been for such actions for a long time. Of course, corvus wouldn't care if you killed its convoys :p.

This is fine; however, a precondition to implementing this is obviously a severe loss of faction for escort pilots who lose some of their convoy as well, especially if all the NPCs are killed.

Also, killing convoys and their escorts should give combat and weapons experience to pirates, in the same way that hive bots do.

This was discussed a few months ago. I'm too lazy to backtrack a link, but yeah, make it so.
