I've been trying my hand at low profit "kill 4 pirate" missions, but every time I pick one of these up I get forced into a fight with either pirates ranked as dangerous/expert or I am forced to kill authority police. I am in a sidewinder with a 1 or 2 levels of upgrades and can take on harmless or mostly harmless bait, but the 10k reward doesn't seem with the following outcome : die by expert pirate or give me a bounty. This doesn't seem to be system specific as I'm far enough out to not have seen an actual player in days.
Is this going to be the trend for all these missions?
