I never used a merchant, never had anything blown up, I was attacked by pirates a couple of times for AFKing but all they did was steal ore and pay off some of my debt (Bug?) It only took me about 10 minutes and it was overall pretty dull.
I really like the trail by fire idea, it's all well and good to write down on a form that you have 'tacticool (More like tactidumb amirite) experience'
