With interstellar factors or regular black markets, it would be nice to clean your cargo of it being stolen. This would allow players to take stolen goods and sell them at markets that would pay a great deal for these commodities instead of being restricted to selling them only at Black Markets.
As far as implementation, it could be either a flat fee for all your cargo or you pay by the ton you want cleaned. For balance reasons it could also have a low notoriety restriction (ie <3 or 5 notoriety). This will encourage pirates to not kill their prey and just loot the cargo in my eyes.
Now the point of something like this would make piracy sales more valuable if you seek it out. Mainly I see a system like this working great for community goals like the ones at Othime. To recap, Othime has a hauling CG and a Bounty hunting CG. Players looking to skip the hauling trips can attempt to collect the goods by piracy. This in turn will mean that Bounty Hunters have more targets. The only thing that ruins this in practice is that Levi-Montalcini Dock does not have a black market and thus cant take stolen goods.
Weather its to maximize profits, or just to make more interesting CG encounters the life of a pirate can be rather fun. And any feedback is welcome. [heart]
