As long as there's no way to defending against pirates with with meta ships... and there's not atm... it needs to be easy to avoid combat.
 
The only legitimate purpose for combat at the moment is to test combat and that's best done between willing participants who don't have anything to lose cause they're flying easy-to-replace borg cubes. 
 
When weapons are better balanced and defensive systems exist, so that escaping an attack is possible, we can talk about exposing non-combatants to the risk of attack.
 
Pirates should not get free access to the goods I spent hours collecting. They should waste a lot of time on ships that escape from them before they catch someone off guard and they should be risking serious losses if they happen to go after a Q ship.

I just think that a pirate shouldn't get in minutes what a miner spends hours making thats all. So yeah I may have worded my last post poorly. And I totally take that back if it actually takes a pirate hours of stalking and standing watch to catch some cargo ships. It just seems like right now there should be lots of opportunities with everyone having  to rely on mining for money. It would just suck to spend all that time for someone to steal it with less effort. Also it probably would help to know that I don't really mine or pirate im more or less just trying to get into the conversation lol.
