This isn't one of those threads where we talk about getting rid of, or endorsing piracy, this is one of those threads where we talk about how to out maneuver the s, or how to commit piracy in a way that is gentlemanly.
First Anti-Piracy Method Idea: Dummy Cargo/Proximity Mines
Say you're transporting some hefty and expensive cargo, but have a few spaces left for some cargo, you could fill it with some other expensive cargo, or in prep for pirates, fill it with some relatively cheap cargo, in this case, we're going to be using tea, because let us not forget, that we are gentlemen. Say you get interdicted and you have one of those polite pirates who just tell you to drop a certain amount of cargo, you drop your tea for them, and some proximity mines, hopefully by the time they discover your clever Ruse, you'll have escaped, saluting them with whatever hat you may be wearing.
First Pro-Piracy Method Idea: Timing Cargo Ejections
Say you've interdicted some poor fellow, give him a few seconds before you start shooting him, giving him the impression that he has enough time to run, after this brief moment of tranquility, bring his shields down, timing it with the time his FSD Cooldown, and when you hear those magical words "Frame Shift Drive Detected" or whatever it says when someones trying to run. try and time it so you eject his cargo just before he shoots back into supercruise, leaving you safely with his cargo, Dastardly indeed.
