Being able to attack merchant convoys (trader + escort traders, and perhaps a frigate or two to guard them) would be cool, for sure.

NPC traders do need warships with them as a rule.  They are just way too easy to kill/cap.

Not taking into account any game balance considerations NPC trading convoys would be a nice addition to the game. So rather than just have a single Trader Snow/ LGV or whatever, sprinkle in some convoys of traders with a few escorts. If it could scale somehow, more merchants = more escorts

Details such a convoy action.

Voted for both

Im cool if traders have escorts if their loot is more valuble as a result.

when you sail not alone .

traders also need a perk for free than!!

sailing a trader without a perk in, the fleet perk must be available for free and

that's not how it is today,  you still need a fleet perk to sail together.

Sure. Fleet 1 free, Fleet 2, 3 points, Fleet 3, 5 Points.

Didn’t they have AI traders with AI escort right after patch 10? Although I don’t have much interest in attacking them, why not put them back?
