brother, it would create more challenge for a ganker... everyone wins. Right now I jump a trader, he leaves I take his goods. No fight. What is the point then? @admin you all want easy mode to stay? (kill traders without a fight). Give them a chance to survive... He can run while I can kill 2 npcs and earn a coin + XP, I will take that.
In general, by killing traders you are hurting econ, econ slows down ship production and you get less real pvp on OS, more pricey boats, rage quits and less people can afford it.... so think about it...
