Ok first of all I apologize if this has been asked before but I'm too lazy to check.
This question is for my fellow pirates (-10) not the fakes (-1 to -9)
Do you prefer to ransom high isk targets if you catch them or kill? Say for instance a faction battleship, t2 bs, rare ships etc.
Or do you like to collect high price ship kills because you like to blow up the shiny stuff?
Personally I kill everything I catch and hate to ransom because I'm a bloodthirsty sonuva b****. Then again I have enough isk from alts that I don't need to ransom to support myself.
I'm interested to see what a lot of you do and why.

Kill.
a pretty kill mail is better than a few million isk between a few people.

KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL.
Which is also why I will never consider myself a pirate, I don't use pvp for any form of profit. I pvp for the pure fact that if you are not in my corp, alliance, or to some extent blue your presence in a spaceship offends me and the situation must me remedied post haste.

I have always been a firm believer in ISK efficiency, if your going to ransom a 900m isk ship with 18 people and pick up 50m ISK each I would rather have a killmail.

And get a 200m drop in modules if you are extremely lucky, leaving your gang with 11m each.
Some of our guys dont understand why I'd ransom pods for 10m in a gang of 15 as they prefer the km over the isk if its not atleast 100m.
Simple answer is its 10m more than we have right now, if ransoming 50 pods for 100m you get maybe one to pay compared to like 20 if you ask for 10m, and the podkill is worthless on KB.
Edit: not to mention repeat customers, once they know you keep your word they are much more willing to accept a good deal for both parties involved, its business afterall. Dont get lowballed though, if they dont pay what you initially asked just kill em.

Just kill away and save me the trouble of closing the convo.
The smart move for all pilots is to say "No!" to all ransoms. It just makes good business sense.

Ransom. Then shoot some more and say you just need a bit more money to stop. Repeat until you can milk no more out of them, then kill them and scoop the mods. |

I'm -9.6 so I'm confused as to where I belong on this mighty scale of piratetude. Its not my fault I shoot EVERYTHING - including NPC's.
By the way a real pirate doesn't ask this question. They just KNOW.
Kill on gates - ransom at celestial locations with no escape routes.

If you don't kill after ransoming you miss out on valuable mods and hate. Honour is for noobs.
