I would rather be destroyed than give stuff to a Cmdr pirate!

As I thought - no incentives.
If Frontier were making a game where PvP was a requirement then I'd agree - as all players would require to engage in it therefore they would expect to be rewarded for being victorious. Frontier chose not to do that, however, therefore the game has attracted a significant number of players who would seem to eschew PvP - and it is therefore unsurprising that Frontier have not included direct rewards for destroying players.
Yeah I know, I was being sardonic. I can understand the materials not being dropped in an explosion, but cargo? Not the same thing.

Not the same thing on one level, no. Exactly the same from the perspective of not directly rewarding player ship destruction.
No, but I will put you on ignore.
Another pew-pew combat logs from forum PVP

Well, for a change I think you actually something kind of interesting here: the concept of forum PvP. The truth is, a lot of (most) ingame PvPers are too busy honing their ingame skills and playing the game in general to be bothered with the forum PvP, much less git gud at it. Those who are skilled do, and those that aren't write and snipe from the safety of their mothers skirts, to paraphrase.
If I understand what you mean by "lulzbucket" I hope you have fun licking the bottom of it. If I got the definition wrong and it's something you would prefer not to lick I apologize in advance
Forum PVP is just as valid as any other form of PVP.
What do players do when another hollow triangle shows up in their favourite NPC farming site? Pew-pews will deploy hardpoints and kill or run them off and declare a epic win. They will decry combat logging as unfair and pathetic. Their opponent running off to the safety of another mode is the sweetest of victories for them.

Hey man, don't get me wrong. I'm an exception; I loves me some of that sweet sweet forum PvP. I'm just willing to do something besides forum snipe if you know what I mean

Well we'll just have to be happy with the satisfying explosion and ka-boom then.
I would like some loot, but I'll settle for knowing there will be crocodile tears and a quivering, mucus covered upper lip at the 'ol rebuy screen.
I'd imagine only a few players will do that. When it happens to me, I'm usually giggling and looking for another beer, petting the lulzbucket and wondering if I should blow myself up for lulz again.

I'm only here b/c they won't let me play vidya games at work
I second that!
I put some rounds, and maybe a ram into them on the way out, the filthy pirates. Add to their repair/rearm costs as I head back to my last stop. While yelling 'Get a real job!". I want a Self Destruct that does damage to nearby ships as well.
P.S. I've also considered carrying some Hatch Breakers to shoot back at the blighters.
P.S.S. No one willing to take their cargo into oblivion with them is going to pout over doing it. Only a special person would really think they do, to gain some of what they crave, even if it isn't there.

Oh, trust me friend, plenty of players do that. It sounds like you enjoy being blown up, though. Would you like to meet ingame and arrange an experience we'd both find mutually enjoyable?
It's exactly the same effect when an NPC ship is destroyed
Except for the imaginary pouting, obviously.....
You delude yourself there. A re-buy is trivial. A hiccup in finance that takes an hour to re-coop. No one cares.
Yes, but a loot pinata would be the icing on the cake.. Still suppose we can't have everything in life.. heh
