I see... I maximize the fun, that's my reward.
May be I'm a little "romantic" about approaching the game but... but all those "material" rewards are pixels, what I feel when undocking in my piracy ship... the uncertain outcome of the next engagement, what could happen after the next hauler submit to my interdiction, the chickchatting with other players, etc. etc.
I'm curious, when I buy commodities from my carrier my inventory appears empty. When I'm scanned by NPCs, pirates or system authority, they see nothing.
If you scan someone who took commodities from a carrier can you see anything?
Mmm... good question, usually when players do not have cargo are mostly compliant and say "I'm empty" or similar. But some times it happens that they don't talk, and we don't find cargo and it's a "byez, o7, fly safe" etc. but go figure if they in reality had some cargo and the bug cheated our manifest scanners
we'd still use breakers, but they're sooo unreliable now 
Really?
Do you hanker for the "good old days" where running a mission or two might not even make enough credits to pay for repairs on your ship? I certainly don't!
There are always players who need to catch up. Not everyone grinds their rear bloody in the first week something releases. There is players who take their time.
We do
If so, how do you get to ask for cargo and they get to reply "im empty" - with a manifest scanner, all you need to say is: "dont worry, this scan will finish in a second"
Or is this conversation happening in the supercruise before any interdiction?
Are Frontier in charge of UK air traffic control as well? 
You know me too well...
As a matter of fact, I do play regularly. The problem you describe is only up to FDev to solve, maybe by moving FCs from populated systems to adjacent unpopulated ones, maybe after 1 week of inactivity. Then the owners will have to search for them if they've not bookmarked them. But with all the bugs that creep up after (almost) every patch, who knows what will stop working if this is implemented.
Player etiquette is another thing entirely. Having said that, it's entirely plausible that life happens and you don't get to play as planned, thus creating major first world problem to other players.
Also, the latest update (or was it the one before?) has improved the system map by grouping FCs around planets.
What now remains is the location tab to exclude our own FCs from the Fleet Carriers filter, but that's something for another day.
On a different note, maybe your coffee intake is a bit on the high side?

We have some text-spamming to Local/Direct like "o? bla... bla... piracy... bla... STOP FOR SCAN" or "DON'T RUN" where "CARGO" is mentioned and this may result in different outcomes, as some haulers know the drill.
If we suspect they are "lying" we'd go checking with manifest saying "Ok, but I like to check" if they lied we ask double booty
but there's no general standard case... that's the fun of every engagement, it may be different from the previous hundreds (as most of haulers in open are low level players or newbies and may be it's first time they encounter a "human" pirate).you should donate them 1t of gold and instruct them to pick it up - then see if they make it to the destination without being nailed by an npc pirate
That's called "reverse piracy", we do that in starting systems when we have clean pricey ores-ZITE something to shareyou should donate them 1t of gold and instruct them to pick it up - then see if they make it to the destination without being nailed by an npc pirate
