We need to go to the old way of "Killing pirates by hanging, or other means"

my way you kill the pirates AND destroy their boat so they run out of both and it limits their ability to continue. the pirates are dead and the leaders lost their boat so it hurts them too.


i understand those poor bastards are starving and just trying to survive and in most cases are doing it just to feed their family but the ones in charge also need to be targetted somehow

Trade ships are well aware that they can risk problems in these waters, and sure they would be able to have light weapons in self-defense, and the pirates know that the ships have some form of defense, so perhaps they are reluctant to attack

There are a verity of countermeasures short of small arms or heavy weapons available to merchant vessels today...
