Besides, Hyperion has a good point. Explosive cargo.

Place timed bomb on cargo, if it doesn't reach destination within that time it explodes and takes half the ship with it.

I know there are no traffic jams in space, but that doesn't mean there isn't a non-piracy related reason why a ship might be behind schedule.

Too bad, the JustIce corporation doesn't tolerate our contractors missing deadlines. For any reason.

That is something "Ice" cartels are wont to do.

But timed explosivve cargo sounds like a bad way to implement it, I don't want every box of rocks getting a timer taking up my cpu

Knocking something out of a warp rail? Doesn't sound super easy, but I'll take your word for it.

I do hope we have the equivalent of Lane Hackers in Limit Theory.

I would not know, since I never played Freelancer. :S

I envisioned knocking something out of warp rails to be semi-difficult depending on your technology vs the target's technology. Similar to a hack: The better your hacking software/hardware, the easier it is but the better the target's computer software/hardware the harder it is.

Don't imagine he's alone. I've never played either, nor do I intend to. Frankly I think it being foreign to me will make LT that much better, and gives me a perspective where I can be creative in my ideas with more originality than were I influenced by something like that.

Hedonistic, drug-addled ex-employees of Ageira Technologies who have an agenda against their former employer, and are also out to earn a few quick credits by dropping transports out of trade lanes and holding them up for money or cargo.
