Not really, as you would only see empty miners flying to the hotspots. Once they are laden they will probably high wake to the best station to sell them, which is probably the best plae to wait for them
How's the piracy now with all the miners out there?

I've always wondered why these weren't a thing back in the day when community goals were the place to be at. At least I've never heard of any, the strategy was always to try alone and sneak past murderhobos. Seems pretty easy to set up, just wing up when the hauler jumps in the system, make sure he doesn't get blown up before reaching the station, get paid, then wing again with the next guy ready to jump in. Obviously I'm missing something.
While I get people want to be pirates, fact is that pirating player really never will be 'worth' it in terms of cash, only in terms of what enjoyment you get from it.
And unfortunately like most things it gets rather lopsided, if it was changed to be made easier to find people mining, simply because it is the miner that has to do all the prep for defending and whatnot, get friends to defend that 99% of the time will be twiddling their thumbs doing very little maybe assisting the mining some but other then that very little.
and sitting around waiting for the 1% event really isn't feasible in the long term, and giving pirates yet another upper hand doesn't really seem to have any advantage for the game as a whole.
instead maybe create dynamic well known hot spots, that'd like resource sites would be known to everyone, if you mine there greater risk, but they would have significantly more rocks for deep core mining, downside would be it could be open only.
Seems a better solution then giving pirates that already have the advantage of where and when, another advantage of knowing when someone is deep core mining.

Murder Hobo's are why I play solo only when doing any kind of trading.
Not gonna waste time getting valuable resources and trucking them around only for some chump to come along and try to grief me.

Sure, sure, but we’re talking about pirates, not murderhobos. There’s a great wide chasm separating the two styles of play.
