This would just cause a catastrophic oil spill that would affect thousands of people (not to mention animals). I don't know if that's a great idea.:hmm:

@Topic

I somehow have trouble believing that some ill equipped pirates would take on a navy frigate.
But it sounds much better than: Frigate opened fire without warning and sent the bastards to hell.
I considered the oil spill in my thoughts first. Get ready for it. Get your oil recovery ships ready, have the booms out to surround the ship. Start taking target practice. Remember, safety first Seriously, if we attack the ship, oil is spilled. If we try a commando raid, they will spill the oil themselves. We are damned if we do and damned if we don't. Blast it out of the water. Just a calling card for the next set of pirates doing the same thing.
