Has anyone ever killed a Seeking Luxury ship?

If not in anarchy, waves of feds until eventually an Anaconda shows. One of the other, but never both, traders may turn aggro if from same faction. In an anarchy, you're safe enough, if you remember to check allegiance before firing. You can avoid much aggro if you ram, with full pips to shield, any unshielded ship down to a nice low hull before limpeting or hull breaking.
I started shooting the wanted ones recently. Also shot a clean one by mistake. I guess about 5 of them total, before i got bored^^
Until now i have not noticed any consequences when i drop into a new instance of them.
The first time I attacked one I didn't realize they carry a bunch of missiles. I took a bunch of them right in my face and feared for a moment that I may lose my cobra to a spacetruck^^

I'm sick to death of them. I fear they will attract the great unwashed masses to my highly profitable system, thereby messing up market prices.
I want to burn them all.

I really don't understand the enmity towards this mechanic. Why shouldn't other players who have paid good money for this game utilise this feature? Moreover I dont understand how it would or could have a effect on your time spent in game.For instance when I come across a Python or Anaconda the last thing on my mind is how the player earned his or her money to buy that ship I could care less. Someday I'll own one of those ships, but I'll earn the money my way and in my own good time.My advice for what it's worth, get on with your game and leave others to theirs. Great unwashed indeed I fear you may be taking the title of the game too literally.

Sometimes they have cargo somtimes they don't, it seems to me. When the dropped cargo i couldn't even scoop everything up before it selfdestructed.
Made good money that day, without the soulcrushing grindy feeling =)
I'd probably pin that literalist tag on your shirt; wanting a bunch of perf-junkies and their swarm of dealers to stay out of your system so they don't crash the market and blow open your regular trade is very much an in-game thing.
Actually 100% damaged cargo hatches never drop anything, you can test this with a railgun as they one shot them, you need to drop it by very small integers at a time as you are trying to cause a malfunction, not stop it working all together, gimballed MC's are best for this but I usually just suck it up and use my bursts and do 15% chunks.
I can also unfortunately state that I have buried more luxuries traders than I can count, it has no impact on their spawn rate or anything to do with them actually.
If you want to see what's truly wrong with luxuries traders, you can look no further than this screenshot!

Yeah heaven forfend that you would have to find another trade route it's not like there is lots of them
You are obviously not a fisherman. A fisherman understands this.
I don't care whether you agree with my opinion or not. I suggest you have taken it far too seriously, investigate the possibility of a humour transplant and realise that seeking luxuries is an appallingly boring and badly implemented mechanic. And get on with your own game and stop telling other people how to play theirs. Thaaank you.

There's not many like this one. At least, they're a pain in the rear to find.

Hey, it's his home. Maybe he really likes the colours on the local stations. No locals like the weekenders and over-summer people showing up and puking behind the only pub.
Good one! LOL
