What if you don't HAVE the money to pay the ransom, will a pirate still kill you?
Cause, I would much rather pay the ransom. However...I'm poor. lol
Of course, I'm not in any systems under .6, but I might when I get my first mining barge.
Might want to reconsider that, at the very least feast of omber in highsec so you can replace that barge, such crispy ships are a pirate's favorite.

I have to ask, how are most people supposed to know that a ransom is going to be honored? I know a few people who paid a ransom and got blown up anyway and I've heard about several others 2nd hand. Racketeers a while back seemed to be proud of the fact that they won't honor ransoms.
When I see it, I always tell the guy to mail the chat log to the pirate's CEO and then post it here if nothing comes of it. I don't think that does anything. It used to be implied that the "real" pirates would make someone regret dishonoring a ransom. That used to be the rule.
I don't see that happening. Does anyone else? Has Snigg, Veto, Muffins or anyone else ever gone to war with a corp because they don't force their members to honor ransoms?
I don't see how the average person can be expected to trust that a ransom will honored, because nobody does anything about it when they aren't.

Omber?
Can I appeal to your sense of good will? 
Nah, prolly not. I'll just have to argue with you with nedless random crap until friendns show up and blast you.

Any pirate in The Black Rabbits not honoring the ransom is automatically kicked from the corp. This is a policy most reputable pirate corps keep. If you complain to the pirate corps in a respectful, none whining way, I am sure there will be consequences for that pirate.

It's not profitable, or logical to go to war against the Pirates that don't honour Ransoms (Seeing as we're mostly flashy red, official war decs are kinda pointless for one). You're best bet to find out who will and won't honour ransoms is to join all the local intel channels, and ask in there when you are ransomed / report Pirates who don't honour them. That way information soon spreads, and the Pirate corps who don't honour will slowly stop being paid.
The ones who do honour them may not "go to war" against the Pirates who don't, but you can be pretty sure they'll never fly with them, or assist them, and they will become just another set of victims.
If a corp dishonours ransoms, they aint Pirates imo, they're PvP'ers...a Pirate lives off his ransoms and loot, so it's just bad business not to honour them...
As for working out how long someones been taking to go down...I prefer to use a handy little module called a ship scanner 
P.S. If Twisted grab you, you can be certain we'll honour ransoms..
