Giving he isnt low low hull, as such the ship would explode, I would bring a friend and need to start the negotiating again because the terms had changed

I would re-negotiate with him saying that he will need to eject from his freighter and i will return 1 bil now 1 later (hedging my bets as such)

When he ejects, I would pod him straight away, have friend jump into said freighter and now I have 1 Bil+pod mail+freighter+all the loot

To all the carebears saying drop points and warp away, these are obviously highsec carebears and should get a permit.

I just might try this one day...lol.


It works it happened in Sivala on sunday during burn uedama :P

If you catch a war-target freighter on a gate, bring it to low structure, scan it and find it loaded up with goodies (large volume - fitted ships, etc.), AND you are able to negotiate a 2B ransom which is now sitting in your wallet....

Do you:
A. Drop points and warp away
B. Drop points and immediately re-engage (i.e., starting a new engagement with this individual)
C. Kill him with fire and make fun of him in local
D. Other (Please elaborate).

I'm curious if there is such a thing as internet honor, or is space as dark as I hope it is?

What a great way to start the morning, eh? LOL



Other -> Honor is like Moral: A concept made up by lesser minds to enlist the even lesser minds to overcome stronger minds.

Maybe you should get somebody without one of those lesser minds to post for you. Your own work seems to be a mix of "confusing mess" and "very terrible".

Well I hope that most of the posters who would let them go after a ransom has been agreed upon and paid is true.

I'm keen to get back into being a pirate in eve (rather than an outlaw pvp'er)

But in the case of the OP. WT's won't get ransomed just killed.

The WT bit does change things. There's really no reason to be ransoming them.
Random munchkin is a different story.
You can sometimes get some nice payouts from mission runners who just want you to let them go so they can go on with their day.
Without scanning their ship ahead of time it's kind of a toss of the dice though. Sometimes just blowing them up is actually a worse call than trying for the ransom, as all you're gonna get from them is a bunch of mediocre junk.

Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

I dont disagree with the whole WT thing, but the question was if the ransom was offered and agreed upon. WT or not, if the circumstances ended up that way, I would still honor it. A deal is a deal.
