Hey Slice  , just found my way onto the boards.
I've only been ransomed once (when 4 days old for 20m  after popping a hauler).
With all of the other forms of scamming going on, I don't think its too much a stretch of the imagination to assume someone might pop you after you paid. But like you said, you know the reasons, I don't.
When I die, I die with no choice of paying a ransom. Its some jerk who won't even talk, not even smack! Argh.

The ransom-security system sounds interesting, however it can't be made. There are some things in this game (I can't think of examples but I know I've thought of this before) that rely on abstract ideas that the computer can't really handle.
First of all, if you had a ransom security system, it would have to take in the exact demand of the pirate so that if the victim sends anything less and gets killed, it doesn't count against them. This is possible but more involved.
Then it would have to take into account the concept of mates killing the person after - and how long does your money buy you? That is situational and can't be predicted by the computer. Unless of course you want it to be a mini-contract system where you haggle on a time and price...still doesn't account for friends doing the job.
And what if he pays, and then you accidentally finish him off? Sure it was dumb of you, but accidents happen. Then you pay him back - the ransom security system would have to account for this as well - meaning it would go beyond the ransom and into post-ransom time.
A lot of things to account for, some of which cannot be accounted for accurately. Not a bad idea though.
I won't go into the "eject or die" or "drop loot or die" thing either...more to account for.
But TBPH I would much rather no system at all. It's worked for me so far.

And what about the people who got ganked/podded but would have paid the ransom to avoid it...
You guys have an oppinion or is it just pirates that read this tread ?
