I had tried to do some PvE piracy on the weekends, but hi-pen rails work too well...
Gonna try shock mines today.
Do repair limpets work on enemy ships?

End of the LTD Miners?

I'm not sure about repair limpets, but good strong shields are actually your best bet for NPC piracy, at least until Frontier fix the powerplant bug.
So, to clear some things up, I was asking about pirating NPC's for LTD out of super cruise, not actually mining them myself. I've made hundreds of millions mining, but I will never ice mine.
My last successful piracy run was in the 3.0 Beta, where practically any NPC with a mining laser carried LTD. Econ, state, population didn't matter.
Tonight I'll be more specific and only hunt in ag systems in a Boom with high pop. Will also check the video when I'm off mobile.

On the topic of mining, it should be the best way to get all the raw materials, not planet prospecting.
LTD Piracy used to be a fun activity that brought out the best in the game. Analysis, combat, restraint and a cool head.
At the minute it is rather pointless. You might as well call it Cargo hold mining. All you need are big shields, Hatchbreakers and collectors. There is no skill involved at all.
Another win for ED Piracy.
