Pirating as a primary source of income?

[Tenacity]

I used to do missions as a primary source of income whenever I got bored with trading... but not anymore, not with the cruise power issues.

As for pirating... nobody should ever attempt to use piracy as a primary source of income. The only thing you accomplish by doing so is pissing everyone you meet off and making everyone hate you at the same time - because pirates who are out to make money ask far more than the reasonable amount regardless of who they're pirating or what commodity is being carried.

With the 10mil or die pirates out there,i am sure some are making more pirating,then mining.

Nope, they arent, because no trader will pay that - the trader will die and lose his cargo before he pays even half that amount. Call it out of roleplay / out of character if you will, but there's no point in continuing to trade when every pirate you meet asks for more than what your cargo is worth.
