Newcomer / Intro Attracting Pirates and Mission Targets with Cargo

[Greasetrap42]

Obviously carrying cargo attracts interdictions. Both random pirates and mission targets.

Has anybody found differences in cargo? Cargo type or quantity? Is some cargo more tasty than others? Is 1 unit of beer the same as 20 units of gold?

 

[Codger]

I've been interdicted with biowaste. And I've been interdicted with nothing.

I don't think the type of cargo matters at all.

 

[metatheurgist]

Oddly I rarely get interdicted with rares. The old engineering commodities on the other hand were almost a dead cert.

 

[Fnord Velkor]

Ah yes, ye olde dayes - 10t gold to draw the scum - doesn't work any more sadly.

 

[aRJay]

A hold full of limpets will not work.
