I've recently started playing the role of a pirate.
I use a hatch breaker limpet controller and a collector limpet controller.
After interdiction I take down the targets shields and launch a hatch breaker.
After a few seconds the game will tell me that the hatch breaker has attached.
After a few more seconds I'll hear one of two things "Cargo Dropped" or "No Cargo found".
Doing the above against NPC's works 100% of the time. If I hear "cargo dropped" then I'll see the cargo on my sensors and begin to collect it. If I hear "no cargo found" then it's my bad luck so I move on.
Doing the above against human players will most times say "cargo dropped" but no cargo appears on my sensors?
A few times I have actually had cargo drop from a human player but the majority of times it says 'cargo dropped' but no cargo actually drops?
I don't understand why this is? Why is the game telling me 'cargo dropped' but no cargo appears on the sensors against humans?
As a side note my goal is only to pirate the first drop from a human player then let them go on there way, it's about the role play not the money.
Thanks!

Do you mind sharing your piracy ship type and load out? I might be able to give you some pointers. For pvp piracy, a manifest scanner is essential, especially to help decide if someone's goods are worth getting wanted over. You could probably test whether hearing "target cargo dropped" with no cargo is a bug or not with a scanner also.
