As a pirate your mind is simple: you wait until a person comes out who you can most surely kill, they will even change factions purely to find out the locations of freighters because miners are usually within 6.7k range in base which makes it hard to pick on them.

When they know someone is trading they usually won't go in the first time but instead wait for the person to de-spawn their freighter (this is what most traders do to save them travel-time) and spawn back at the base.

Meanwhile the pirate has two options:

1. Wait at Megabase and find the ship dropping out of warp, considering they're slow they are really easy to pick on with even a simple frigate.

2. Spawn your ship and wait outside of base-range yet close enough to notice the ship, when the ship is noticed destroy the shields in warp and kill at megabase.

Either is anoying but just take this pro-tip: NEVER TRADE DURING TIMES OF WAR! only with a Wyrm since they got an imbalanced speed and size. You will be able to hold out for atleast 5 minutes against 4 "Amphs" while NOT warping away.
