I'm looking for a mod to handle traders being accosted by pirates. If a trader is accosted then it will drop whatever wares it does as normal, then pick them back up immediately and if the trader is already en-route to a trade it would cancel the flee command. Any mods that do this, as it seems there isn't after some searching mods on Steam and Nexus?

I've been doing this manually and has worked reliably for me to avoid giving up the wares and leaving them just to float in space as the pirate goes to find another target of opportunity. Quite how these pirates make a living by leaving behind the wares they demanded is beyond me

If a pirate AI is going to cheese my traders by pulling them to their location on an escape command, then my traders should be able to cheese them in return with malicious compliance (drop, pick up and carry on).

I believe I could just turn pirates off in game setting, but I prefer to have them about so I can look out for plunderers and behemoths to hi-jack in return and have my fast strike group take out the smaller stuff.
