If you catch a war-target freighter on a gate, bring it to low structure, scan it and find it loaded up with goodies (large volume - fitted ships, etc.), AND you are able to negotiate a 2B ransom which is now sitting in your wallet....
Do you:
A. Drop points and warp away
B. Drop points and immediately re-engage (i.e., starting a new engagement with this individual)
C. Kill him with fire and make fun of him in local
D. Other (Please elaborate).
I'm curious if there is such a thing as internet honor, or is space as dark as I hope it is?
What a great way to start the morning, eh? LOL

Drop points and warp away. In case I happened to regret taking the ransom and killed him anyway, I'd return the 2 bil to him. |

It's not about E honor. It's a business transaction. If I expect other to pay me boatloads of ISK, I'll honor the deal.
Why didn't you tell me I preferred the same sex before I got married? May have saved me lots of money.

Guess it depends on the situation and the person..atleast thats my oppinion
Just because i am blond does not make me stoooopid !

Ransoms are a neat element of the game that can make piracy financially viable, as opposed to taking a chance on the loot fairy. I feel they are an important part of the pirate play style, and the reason they are less common these days and people often refuse to pay is due to a long history of folks not honouring such bargains.
I feel the piracy element of the game is better off when it becomes generally known that most pirates will honor ransoms. If you habitually negotiate ransoms and then kill the victim anyway, you really sort of ruin that option for others. |

E Honor is for those who "Prefer the same sex"
It's not about E honor. It's a business transaction. If I expect other to pay me boatloads of ISK, I'll honor the deal. Why didn't you tell me I preferred the same sex before I got married? May have saved me lots of money.
I do agree with honouring ransoms but thinking of it as a business transaction is foolish. In a business transaction there is some kind of leverage or something that guarantees the transaction. In a ransom the other party is powerless and ransomer can do as he pleases with no repercussions whatsoever except for.........wait for it........E-Honor. So it is infact, all about E-Honor.
I don't do ransoms anymore despite being a pirate though. I used to ransom pods when I first started out but the whole ransoming culture in pirates in eve has died down especially in lowsec. Nowadays if you hold someones pod for the ransom, they are busy unplugging all their implants while you negotiate since nobody expects their pod to live after getting pointed anymore.
However it isn't completely dead. Check out Zarvox Toral (spelling?) on reddit/twitch/eve. He managed to ransom an Anshar in a belt in nullsec while flying a Comet despite not even having enough ammo to kill him. The mere threat was enough for the Anshar pilot to pay him a couple bill. |
