For those looking for another way to make money after Smeaton

Consider PvE piracy stealing low temperature diamonds. It wont pay as well as the Smeaton runs but its actual game play and you can get around 20-30 million an hour on a good run. You also never need to even get a bounty, kill anything or get bad rep. I made this very rouge guide on how to do it.

One thing I neglected in the video is if the target has point defense pass it up, it will destroy your limpets which is aggravating. Also, if the target is ranked mostly harmless or less, you can shoot out his PP and disable him. If higher rank he will usually just reboot. Lastly dont shoot out drives for pve piracy as your target will not lose momentum and will just scatter cargo everywhere.

Archon is stated to offer a 10% bonus for blackmarket sales to his people, in his space, but it was bugged. If its working now then it might be something to consider.

I'd rather fancied the idea of playing "Space Pirate" back when I was first downloading the game. After a bit of reading though, I sort of gave up the idea. But this could just be worth testing on the Beta server.

I’ve played around with pirating LTD’s off NPC ships in anarchy systems before, it can be a lot of fun and even challenging too. I’m not very good at it, I think the most I ever made per hour was well under 10 million, but it was fun so I kept doing it for a bit.

Not tried it in some time now, might have to give it another go soon.

I wonder if this would be possible in an AspX. Would need to beef up my shields a ton, but even then I don't think there's any way to out-tank a frickin' cutter​.

Sure it is, just put bi-weaves on it and go for the harmless/mostly harmless T6/T7s (most are mostly harmless anyways). They usually miss a lot and often extend out and return giving your shields time to recharge. Alternatively put two gimbled cannons and take out their PP (only fire with a top or bottom shot and at 800m or less to avoid hull damage) and they will be dead in the water.

That looks like fun. I've done a bit of piracy for missions, but not LTD piracy.

do you know if there are any ships with painite in systems other than agricultural?

This video should never have been put up, how silly. I see the nerf hammer coming up with that method of making money, either that or the people that don't like it will whine and moan until that too is not a way to make money.
