Cargo piracy

[Stewgar]

You have to player list watch. I hate doing it, but you have to. When someone tries to pirate you for a crazy amount or at a cringe place like next to a lawful battleship, write their name down. If they switch, or you suspect them of switching, write that name down too. I have many ships spread around Sirius so that if I'm being shadow logged, I switch ships.

On the flipside, if you see somebody has been sitting in the same system for the past 5 minutes and you are on the way there, they are likely jump gate or trade lane sitting. Those are usually the better pirate experiences, let those happen. Some of the best experiences I have had here is pirating experiences and I have another list of ones that I even sometimes purposefully fly to for the experience. Credits mean nothing to me, it's only about the experience.

I understand cargo pirating. I had an operation where I would pirate the cargo (with the exception of POB material) and then a friend would swoop in with a cargo ship to tractor it all up. It's very profitable if you know how to do it. However, it is a jerk move if you cargo demand POB material. It's not worth anything and if you do it, it's clear that you are doing it to grief.
