Is it Possible to pirate other minerals other than low temp diamonds

[Laif]

I have just learned about pirating low temp diamonds from miners in agriculture systems...im genuinely curious though..based on shifting prices and what not...is it possible to pirate say other minerals such as painite...muscravite benetoite and things like that? (the same way i mean) If so how can i go about finding out what systems would yield what.

It is possible but there are two main issues about this:

• There is no pattern (or the pattern has not been discovered yet) for spawning ships that haul minerals/metals other than LTD.
• The quantities of other minerals/metals are much lower than for LTDs. While it's possible to find Type-7 or Type-9 with 100+ or even 200+ LTDs onboard, I've never found other stuff in such numbers. 50-ish tonne of silver/gold/bromellite and 10-ish, max. 20-ish tonne of painite/platinum/samarium per ship.

So, it seems to be pure RNG and the quantities are low. I keep searching for patterns, anyway.
