I remember my first, it was quite a rush. Was a Covetor in lowsec, I only asked for 5 mil and got it. The guy was actually pretty nice; I *almost* felt bad for doing it, hehe.
Just be careful, once you start doing it it's really, REALLY hard to stop 
I now leave you to your... MOOSEY FATE!! |

I cannot understand why people pay ransoms.
Pirates are terrorists.
Paying a ransom is negotiating with terrorists.
This only emboldens them.

Pirates aren't terrorists.
Terrorists: we want to kill you and destroy your society.
Pirates: we want your money.
Therefore, when you give a terrorist money, they will use it to buy weapons to kill you with. Whereas when you give a pirate money, they will happily leave you alone.
(Then use it to buy better weapons and come back and take your money again, but that's beside the point)

Eh, maybe so. But the real question is, does it encourage them more than your ship getting blown up, your loot and modules ransacked, your pod and implants popped, and your killmail permanently framed and displayed?
So if you like thinking in terms of the big picture, the real question is...
...which kind of piracy do you want to encourage?
My advice: pay your ransom, and then add a 15-20% tip if the pirate has provided courteous and exceptional service.

No way.
I'd sooner have to go to a Duran Duran concert and drink Zima than to pay someone not to kill me.
Pirates are terrorists. I dont negotiate with terrorists.

You'll think differently when you find every cent you have in your cargo and the ransom is considerably smaller than your cargo's value...
P.S. Maybe in your made-up languages, pirates classify as terrorists, but in English, we have "definitions" that imply that words have "meanings."

You obviously have no clue what a terrorist is. I think you need to research what terrorism truly is before making silly comments.
And as said before. ransom = less than loss if you die then paying ransom makes sense.

Eve needs a ship self-destruct skill that can be trained up in vicinity damage.
It's an entirely plausible defense tactic that will help induce pirates to get a real job.

Hey! Insult piracy all you want, but when you insult Duran Duran YOU GO TOO FAR!!!. :P
Anyway, in regard to all the piracy = terrorism stuff, I really hope you're roleplaying.

Pirates are not terrorists. Pirates are.. well... pirates. lol. If you pay them they will let you go. But terrorists kill you no matter what you do. So dont do anything.

Check your logic S.A.
Well-played pirates are basically capitalistic...they want to get a lot of ISK, but they don't want to damage their economic base(their prey). Ransoming is a much better way to preserve that economic base than podding.
on another note, I've been pirated 4 times. 3 of those times I ransomed, and the cost of those payments still does not exceed the value of implants I had installed. I have successfully defended against pirates 2 times, and both were as exciting to me as being a pirate is to the pirate!
To the OP, enjoy your pirating, and I'll look forward to our first corporate 'meeting'!!

I'd pay ransom tbh.
TBH, my whole pirate corp dosen't pirate to make ISK. We do it because we like flying around in gangs pvping. Even if there were no drops from players, and nobody ransomed anything, we'd still fly around and PVP because it's fun.
Not paying ransom when offered... basically means nothing. We're still going to blow you up. Hell, if it cost money to aggress someone in low-sec, we'd probably still do it.

Exactly. The terrorist side is much more gratifying (sp ?), although most of the time less lucrative. 
The glue sniffing makes it all worthwhile tho. ;O

Never pay a ransom, just turn off the explosion effects (i forget the key combination but there is a way to easily and quickly do it) so that you do not lag when getting blown up because the pirate is probably far enough away not to get lagged anyway.
Just keep trying to warp while your almoast blown up and you'll end up warping away in your pod LONG before the pirate can even hope to lock and scrambler your pod.
Oh and if you do pay the ransom they will just come after you the very next time they see you in a system becuase they know you will pay.

Please keep your replies on-topic and refrain from hijacking the thread, even if it is what Pirates might like to do in their profession.

All the best things in life are cheap gratifications.

There all quite pointless.
