The problem is that the most unfun and annoying type of piracy - cargo piracy - is simultaneously the easiest and the most profitable. This is the reason that pirating on anything other than a Junker is just simply not profitable and not worth the time. You can park a Junker in Kepler or Sigma-13, blue people and sell off stuff just one system away for a really good profit. Meanwhile a bomber player who'd just demand 3 millions from a lone trader would laugh and keep thrusting to the nearest base because very rarely will a bomber have enough power to take it down before it reaches the station or backup arrives.
Protege, I didn't say I cargo pirated. I fly a Small Transport because they put out better DPS than a single bomber, can dodge Charons just as well, can 1v1 Lawful bombers and garbage Gunboats, and thrust faster than Large Transports.
The ability to hold the cargo dropped by bads who I inevitably effortlessly slay is just a bonus.
