I was wondering if there was a mod or something that would have pirates instead threaten convoys and myself before attacking, letting them go if they gave some cargo or credits up or something, and maybe I myself could do the same.
I just think it's a bit weird that pirates have no conscience, and massacre everyone they see. I should think they'd at least have them pay themselves out of being attacked, if at least to keep trade going so traders don't just stop going by routes attacked by pirates. Also, if I want to be a pirate myself I'd rather not kill anyone I see. I guess I could imagine it as that I'm just disabling their ships and boarding them, as disabling is indeed a mechanic, but still, being forced to attack every time if I want to get something out of it is a bit weird.
So yeah, any mods out there that at least lets you open up dialogue, or has dialogue opened up with pirates?
