Hey all
**** happens many ppl say!
well it happened to me yesterday.
I was killing some rat in a 0.4 sector. I was having a hard time killing the rat, but I was gonna kill it eventually...
All of a sudden a pirate  pops out of nowhere - me having 0 shield and 1/2 armor on my destroyer - shoots two missiles and my ship blows up. Pods me right after.
Now I am not here to whine, since I knew it was risky going into 0.4 space, but why did he kill me like that?
He killed me like a coward, when I was almost dead. Do pirates always behave this way?
And did he get a reward for killing me? Cozz he wasn't asking for money either...

it does not have to be moneydriven, but I do like to keep some money on my account, and getting popped by pirates is not exactly profitable :)

Well I did try to warp out... but I guess my warp was scrambled, or whatever you call it...
Or can't a pod me scrambled?... anywayz it said warping to stargate blabla, but it did nothing...

Because, average pirate is coward.
Because, average pirate is able to kill only weak targets.
Because, average pirate is sure that you will not get help/backup.
Do not care. Move upper into 0.5+ or monitor local channel most time
two of my corp mates did go to the place but couldn't find him, at least they got my stuff in some cans...
guess he was long gone...

Look.. I don't know where this thing about pirates being cowards comes from. It's stupidity. We're trying to make a living in the game.. with a certain amount of roleplaying (I say Yarr a bit.)
I attack battleships at gates, a couple of times I've been solo.. (sentries got me once.. :) Just because I also attack destroyers and cruisers doesn't make me a coward.
I didn't say all pirates were cowards, I'm just here for some information...

I belive I saw you in Amamake. Which could explain the pirate etc...
I personally make it a point to kill newer players as often as I can. It comes down to the fact that If I dont kill them they just dont ever learn to watch out for pirates and then I come back later and have to blow up there first cruiser or Battleship because they cant pay the ransom.
So look at It this way if you had not been blown up then you would have probly been blown up later in a larger more expensive ship.
no I wasn't there.
you must have spotted another noob :)
btw great vision you have there... keep it up

Edit: OP has a good attitude about the whole thing I think.
well tnx...
realy I can't be bothered with the loss of my ship, I have enough money as it is... I just wanted to know why pirates kill :). I admit it's a stupid question, but I wanted to know what kind of profit there was in killing for them...
anywayz the destroyer was the toughest ship I could fly with my skills... think it will be easier to fly my stabber into 0.4 space? I've got the skills today... or will I just get killed again...?
I mean at what point can I venture into unsecure space and have a chance at beating hostile ...

as I said I tried to warp, both with my ship and my pod, but it did not work and I was killed before anything happened...
and I am a new player so I realy don't know about these precautions you are talking about...

uhm.. because its a game?
it reflects more on your arrogance to whine about being killed in low sercuity space.
if you dont like it, DONT GO THERE.
Why would anyone in CS stare at you when he can shoot you? When has "why" ever appeared into a game that involves blowing others up?
You are the arrogant one for not reading my post and replying like this.
I'm not whining, I just don't know what pirates get out of it... well I got my answers in this thread, but sure not because of you...
learn to read before you post dumb replies...

In comical sense, it means "I pod, therefore I can".
I know, as I said I'm a native latin speaker... =)

Its true that the #1 human motivator is Money.
But in the end, money is used to satisfy your interrests.
If you have the tools you need todo what you like, you dont need more Money.
If you are hungry and you see food on a table and next to the it is money.
Do you eat the food or take the money?
All depends on how hungry you are.
It is true some eat the food and take the money, it all comes down to a choice.
I would eat the money

1. They didnt pay the 9 mil for ransom which is really low and surprising only about 10% of people who lose ships take that option
2. They were too close to the gate when their ship got destroyed
3. they were war targets
This is one of the reasons you got podded if I was there.
don't see me paying 9M isk in stead of having you annihilate my destroyer :)...
btw don't you adjust your ransom to the target? you'd make more money...
I don't thnk I would ever pay a ransom, unless it's realy low compared to a ship loss... for most people it's a pride thing I guess :p
