Ah but that would mean it WOULD work if you're not paying attention!
I like the idea of mines more, though.
In fact, I think I would drop a few crates of cargo AND a mine. Just as a special gift.
WHY? Why are you carrying "Grain"?

lol that would be hilariouse
Indeed, think of it as a "Pick'n'Mix".
More like a bag of Revels, only the coffee one has a bit more of a bite to it
If he can't give it to you because its a delivery mission you will shoot him up and take it anyway.
Actually, seeing as you don't have a cargo scanner you will just shoot him up until something drops but nothing will if he is not carry anything
and you wouldn't know without a cargo scanner.. wow and you call yourself a pirate.
actually if you take their cargo hatch down to 50% anything the have will come out of their ship

no such thing as a greifer - and if you think there is than stay in solo
Hold on if you had your way there wouldn't be solo. You can't have it both ways. Mind you, you don't sound much of a pirate if you don't know what's in the hold of you victim.
Still, you do sound you like to gloat on the forums.
Relax, I'm just having a joke.
Ahh a pirate's life is never easy.

Stupid strategy, my cobra is always hauling 300k+ worth of rare goods. It has chaff, point defense, two cannon turrets, and two gimballed beam lasers. But im sure your not scared, are you cheknov?

If it's not a trade secret would you have any tips on targeting the cargo hatch? Generally by the time I get it down to 75% the ship itself is floating around in little pieces... makes it hard to "recover the stolen cargo" from the "wanted ships" that I pursue.
Missions. Grain and Agri meds. Good rep builders.
Hilarious. I'm going to go looking for some pirates tomorrow with a hold full of food cartridges 
Good story. I laughed.
Now I am tempted to sit in my Type 6 and carry grain all day in front of some pirates.

The only reasons currently to carry grain is either to fulfil a BB mission or because the player cannot afford to purchase a higher value cargo at this time.
I personally would like to see this changed in the future so that its riskier to carry a high value/ high volume cargo.

Profit margin. All about profit margin.
Even if a cargo load that gives you a profit of 2k per ton I am sure it doesn't surpass 25% at best.
Grain can provide over 200% profit in some runs, making the low credit investment a very good starting ground for a successful trader.

ya the tip is pulse lasers in small turret slots, and only shoot when you have thier cargo hatch locked and in sight usually under thier ship, its a bit tricky but once you do it a few times it becomes pretty fun as thier doging and weaving
Can you see Blackbeard randomly attacking ships rather that targeting the those with valuable cargo?
"Wonderful, just what we need, more coconuts!"
I'm guessing it wasn't a nice big rich ship you targeted, just an unarmed hauler, maybe? Real Pirates can smell gold and ignore the little fish.
Or a rep mission.
