As the subject line says, I was blown up even after I paid the ransom. Aside from siccing a merc corp on him, is there anything else I can do?
Are there any pirate corps that go after these guys for bad form? I know I'm not likely to pay any more ransoms after this sort of behaviour, which would hurt the pirate community as whole.

Get ransomed by them again to give them a chance to make up for it by honoring the 2nd ransom?

Also, post the individuals details here. You'll be surprised at how many player pirates frown on this. It upsets things if people ransom then pod. It's actually bad for business for player pirates who offer a ransom option, if too many people don't play 'by the rules'
In this case 'the rules' being;
either pod and salvage or ransom and let go, after payment

Unlucky. The vast majority of ransoms are honoured but occasionally that happens. name and shame the corp. It reduces the number of ppl who pay them a ransom in future.

When I was in Snigg I always honoured a ransom, Hell the odd moments I slip back into my old ways I still honour them.
Contact the pilots CEO, see what he say's if they don't refund your ISK then name and shame away.
But just a few questions...
a) Where you attacked by a group, if so did the ransom goto the right person, ie not some random dude in local ?
b) Did you pay a ransom and get caught later in the day ?
c) erm thats all I can think of for now

Name them in your bio with a link to their char info. So everyone who clicks your bio might recognize their names or faces.
Most pirates hate such behaviour. I doubt someone will actively hunt them, but they'll know to keep distance to the corp/pilots in question.
But you should contact their ceo before. If i was given proof that one of my corpmates dishonored a ransom id kick him no matter what and would try to reimburse if possible at all. And i think some pirate corps have a policy like this.
Others dont and will pretend to not care when you name them here. Nonetheless they will prolly show up and try to derail the thread or find excuses. 
Of course a valid name and shame requires some solidification. Chat logs, screenshots, wallet transactions and killmails. Please give all the dirty details such threads are generally awesome.

So what did you do to get killed.....if they were really pirates they would not pop you. It kills business. Unless you said or did something stupid.

I don't think so.
I usually prefer to go down fighting, but I have payed ransom a few times.. I think most pirates honor the agreement and it's defiantly not good for business to blow people up after they pay.

i've never had to pay a ransom, its posible to kit effectivly and cheeply, unless ur hauling something valuble in a hope & pray set up, in that case if u get cought u deserve to be punished for it.
as for honoring ransoms, that depends on the ransomer, some don't pvp for isk but just for the evil of it, and getting a known pirate in a ransom position + killing him any way is a weeks evil in one

Paying ransoms is really stupid. It encourages these asshats to continue by directly funding them. Just get blown up, be ready to warp your pod out of there. Let them scoop your can and resell your goods on their own dime, at least then they have to work for the isk.
DON'T PAY RANSOMS. EVER. TAKE THE SHIP DESTRUCTION LIKE A MAN. AND ALWAYS SAY "GF", they love that.

If the ransom is cheaper than looseing your ship then i see it only senceable to pay a ransom, who ever shot you down after you paid is a disgrace to the pirate comunity imo.

Maybe it is cheaper to pay the ransom than it is to buy new implants etc. on your own dime!
At Klepto we always honour a ransom. Occasionally we ransom ships but it's mainly pods so losing the ship thing isn't really relevant is it, the ship is usually a wreck at that point. If you had 100mil or more of implants and an expensive clone would you really prefer to lost it all rather than pay 50mil? Takes all sorts I suppose.
We do like a good fight actually.

People who don't honour ransoms are *******s, but I for one have always been too lazy to remember who they are. You might as well name them, it's possible that'll affect them adversely in some way. At the least they might come here and flame you, thus garnering free publicity and entertainment

I have a hanger full of bodies and eve mail folder full of kill mails of the likes of you. It matters not how much money I get, my first priority is Kill mail, body, lewtz, ransom. After dealing with guys like you, I just skip the hole thing and leave it up to my prey to offer a ransom. Oh yea, when you guys "lol" and say "gf" in local...first thing that comes to mind is "What a looser, he just rolled over and died."

dont listen to these guys. theyŚre just bitter carebears who have lost their pod to pirates and dont know how to deal with them other than to whine on forums.
pirates dont hold many things holy and you should never trust their word. except when it comes to ransoms. if you have proof, post it. then name and shame the involved parties. most likely their nubs/wannabe-pirates.
that being said, im not sure i would ever pay a ransom to a pirate i didnt know (or was in a corp i didnt know) cause there are just too many idiots in this game.
so i guess the afore mentioned players have a point to some degree.

Most ppl disagree with him tbh. He's acting like pirating is done by ppl who want to spoil the game. it PART of the game. if u benefit from paying the ransom then do it, as long as it's a respectable corp. nothing 'manly' about getting blown up and leaving in a pod when u could have kept ur ship.

Most pirates honor their ransoms and ransom breakers are looked down apon poorly. Not because of any ethical grounds or crap like that, but just because it's bad buisness both for the ransom breaker and all pirates in general.
Simply put breaking ransoms makes it harder to ransom that person, and to ransom other people "who hear about the broken ransom" in general. Therefore, Name & Shame. Gives pirates a chance to get revenge for the poor practice of ransom breaking.

Name and shame, my friend. Most of us pirates don't take too kindly to this kind of activity, and it usually results in an unfriendly attitude towards the offender by other pirates, if you know what I mean.

Don't listen to this guy, us a**hats will certainly (for the most part) let you go, then everyone is happy. You don't have to waste your time warping all over the universe to replace and rekit your ship, and it usually saves you money to boot, and the pirate is appeased.

Yeah, beg them for the privilege of paying them for ganking you. If you can't afford to lose it, don't fly it, right?
Do you really want to beg for your life with some dudes epeen in your mouth? "mpphhff ransom mumphhf slurp!" How's that taste? Like scabby, unwashed epeen, that's how.
By all means, if you're gonna lose a fight, lose the fight and take the lesson, no matter what the cost. If you beg someone not to kill you, you are weak and you deserve what you get. Let them have the killmail, the mods, whatever, but don't freaking beg them to take your money.
But don't forget to LOL in their face on your way to the station.

Who's talkin about fights in here? There's no fight to be had you could learn anything new when you're being ganked. If things like that happen, you lose money, and you probably have the chance to "get a discount". Just pay, and if there's something to learn, then: Next time, prepare for the trip by fitting correctly, and use a scout.
Being ganked and paying a ransom has nothing to do with fighting. Ransomed victims ain't in the position to fight most of the time. Pay or die, that easy.
And yes, name the guy, I'd like to "talk" to him.

Oh, if you dont want to pay a ransom then dont, most pirates are happy to have the kill mail although ISK is always welcome. I have no worries about selling loot of ships. Log my alt on in work and move it around selling it. No trouble at all. ISK gained from loot = sweeter imo when it has the blood of the pilot on it

Just don't forget to LOL in their face on your way to the station.
Edited out the stilted language.
OMG you're such a spaz.
Firstly, since when does accepting a ransom offer constitute as begging?
"50mil to keep your ship"
"ok paid"
"you're free to go"
Doesn't sound much like begging to me.
If i was flying a ship worth 2bil and was offered a 500mil ransom then hell i'll take it. doesn't make me weak it means i have a brain in my head and can do simple maths.
And why do u 'LOL' as you say you do on the way to the station, you've just been killed and a dirty piwate is looking through ur belongings taking what he needs and disregarding the rest when u could have saved ur ship by using ur head but chose not to for some sort of strange feeling of pride.
Tell me what has more pride
Flying away in your ship after negotiating your release.
or
Flying away in your little pod with ur stuff scattered around space or maybe even worse leaving your corpse in space for all to see you got pwnd

Good thing aswell DE is that why never had to pay for the stuff he has lost. We popped his ship (Which had to pay for and some how get the ISK) and pick the mods worth anything (Again, he had to pay)
So, while your off laughing, we laughing thanks to the free stuff (Minus the minor costs of ammo)

Just for curiousity's(sp) sake, what ship were you in and what was he in?
Also, what were you doing in lowsec in a ship worth upwards of 1.2b that can't kill a lone pirate?
I agree what he did was wrong, but this situation seems kind of odd.

As someone who's paid & been ganked (was only a rupie when I was a few weeks old, better to learn this lesson early and cheap) I will *never* pay a ransom again.
Why pay twice for an evemail of 'HAHA NOOB I PWNZORED YOU AND YOUR WALLET'? There's absolutely no reason to take the chance. Prats pewpew each other for fun as is, it's not like 'shame' is any additional motivation.
Assuming I do get caught in lowsec in a ship worth ransoming the temptation to take the hundreds of M and then pop the ship and hope for a few more hundred M in loot is not something I'm willing to gamble the prat will resist.
Eat the loss, learn the lesson, spend the money you'd have spent on ransom on a good merc corp.

Sheesh. Do you even think I'd convo someone while still in the battle was still in the balance? No, I'd lost before I even convo'd and surrendered to him.

Smart Pirate, collected the ransom and destroyed the ship to loot some extra profit. Most carebears and victims don't read this board anyway so why should he care what other pirates think. As long as he gets away with it and has fun doing it why not?

I lost a caracal to a pirate after ransoning him...
I paid 5 million isk, not much I know, but I'm 2-3weeks old (what was I doing in 0.4 you say? just a few rats to test weapons)
He got me in a harpy, it took a while...
so I paid him, it was my first encounter with a pirate so I thought, hm now I saved my caracal =D BOOM!... grr
so I told my corp he's got to die, we made a team and we hunt him down, we got him but just before we actually saw him on the scanner, he transferred that 5 million back, pretty funny actually... we still popped his ship...

I logged on earlier and straight away was convod..
'blah blah im flying through blah in unfitted tempest but had to log off, can I pay 50m to live and return on my journey and get through your camp'
On inspecting our killboard and talking with the guys in current camp I find out he had indeed logged and already lost his tempest... with this in mind I said..
'sure, pay the isk we wont shoot your tempest when you login' and after borrowing the iskies form a corp mate I was 50m isk richer.
When he logged in we didn't shoot his pest (it was alreasy dead), we did however smartbomb his pod as it warped to gate and of course were 50m richer.
So endeth the story lmfao

but looking at your sig, you like to **** of people alot more.
and that was his point
say GF and make the opposition think, they didnt **** you off.
i think its strange... and i really dont get it...
whats the point of ****ing somebody off, you will never get to know?
i mean, blow up their ship because of the loot, because of the thrill, but why ffs do you need to make somebody angry?
everytime i try a lil pirating, the people i blow up assume prematurely i only do it to **** them off... must be because of the c&p forums...

well first off i've never paid a ransom that i was offered. secondly if i'm in a ship that has weapons fitted i'm going to go down fighting and then thank whoever attacked me for the fun of it and write off my loses. If i'm in a ship without any weapons (hauler/miner) then i know i'm out there and in danger but hell that's the fun of it isn't it? Every death that i've taken, i've taken like a man and told the pirate to just kill me as he's not going to get any money out of me, at which point we usually thank each other for the fun and i end up back at a station.
There is one thing i keep repeating to myself. It is only a game.
