If i yell "Parley" in local when you catch me and start shooting at me will you stop and negotiate? Or outright just kill me?

They would probably just keep shooting at you, thinking "wtf does parley mean?"

Parley is not a rule but more of a guideline. Expect to be blown up unless you are totally disabled with no chanse of escape.

I would probably let out a hearty chuckle, and then invite you to the ransom channel. However if you cried out but your guns and/or drones were still blasting away I'd carry on taking your ship apart.

It would depend on your ship type as well - you can't really get much in the way of a ransom for a T1 frigate so I'd quite possibly be inclined to just get the killmail and then try a ransom on your pod, but if you were in something bigger then I'd see what you had to offer.

I'd check intel on systems next door, then give you a few seconds to make your point with no conversational chatter.

If you try to talk BS or negotiate a deal I propose to you I'll destroy you as soon as I can.

It doesn't have to be to 'parley' though... one guy was just typing 'please no' and we started chatting. Saved him some isk, made myself some isk.... I've not made billions on piracy but it's at least 500mill so far in the last few months.

I do honour my ransoms though, both ways.

edit* as above, while you are shooting/pointing me I'd be shooting right back whatever you say.

Depends on local but you basically would have to make a suitable offer and actually transfer the money quickly enough otherwise I am just going to kill you.

Im not a pirate so i dont understand the whole point of killing a person...

O.O is another story. But lov sec.... I tough the point always was to make money.


Would be much simpler to tell the person "Eject and you wont be poded"

Well since the days of true piracy are over and pirates are nothing but tear drinkers and griefers nowadays......no, parley would not work.


And yes i'm mad =D

Taking stuff from other people is a way to make money, although lots of lowsec dwellers will do it just for the explosion (they're pretty I hear).

If I somehow caught you and you yelled "parlay!", then shut off your guns and sent me isk (or did a little dance)... I'd totally let you go.

We may or may not stop depending on if we have had any kills or not. We almost all ways blow up the ship then ransom the pod for a reasonable 20 million isk. I hope this helps.

Pryor to hanging up the eye patch it would depend on the situation and ship. frigs and t1 cruisers go pop with out a second thought and then a ransom offer for the pod. BC's and t2 cruiser hulls bled into hull with no threats with a system or 2 would be offered a ransom. 30 seconds maximum no BS. Resulting insults and or whining like a Tampax receptacle would have revoked all offers and place you comfortably in the vat.

I always considered pirates to be something like tax on lovsec gates....

Why they want kills is beyond me since most dont even salvage.... Bear

Personally it would depend on how much ISK you're flying, tech 1 frigs and other less costly ships id blast and ransom your pod tech 2's and so on id happily ransom unless you dont stop shooting Big smile

Its a nice mix of greifing and profit for me, besides sometimes the ganked ship has nice cargo

I think yelling

"RANSOM, PLEASE RANSOM"

would be more efficient...
