Overly annoying pirates

This has been around for as long as I remember but man do those pirates have some good intel to always know where I am when I have cargo, I barely lose the interdiction so its more just the annoyance of constant pirates knowing where you are and it sort of breaks the immersion, I would like 2 things one less interdictions and two more difficult to escape interdictions. I feel if the interdictions are more far apart and they are tougher it will make for more interesting gameplay. I know for a fact someone will respond saying "You haven't played this long enough" maybe I haven't I've only put in 700 hours on PC and Xbox so maybe at hour 1000 I will enjoy constant pointless interdictions. Or maybe if it scaled with your trade rank so for new players they barely get interdicted and when they do it's very easy and for trade elites it happens a bit more often and is harder to escape, then you have to get good at judging when to submit and boosting the crap out of there. Right now its just pointless and beyond easy, its not even that bad to avoid in a Type-9 unless its a CMDR then its quite the challenge if they know what they are doing.

The only other instance of pirates pretty much outright breaking immersion (In a way I can somewhat understand) is mining, explain to me how it makes sense if you drop in on a hot spot that's Mega-meters wide you have a high chance of dropping in with pirates? How does that make sense? I get the reasoning it gives miners a challenge but its beyond unrealistic its just not feasible for pirates to just be everywhere. I have yet to be killed by these pirates since they tend to scan me on arrival and just leave but I just find it hard to believe I always somehow in the vastness of space manage to drop in with pirates. I wonder if you can't defend yourself how would that play out? I've never tried mining without a reasonable way of defending myself.

There's my rant its just annoyances really they aren't game breaking some of them give me a good laugh sometimes lol.
 
Oh and apologies if this was mentioned before in another post if it was let me know so I can post it in the appropriate area :)
 
Its in their contract with their union. Meanwhile, us unincorporated "commanders" cant get the same benefits package with a Pilots Federation license.

Those of us "commander" pilots have to use blind luck in finding a suitable target. While they get spoon feed info on "the one with the big haul". Talk about unfair work practices.
 
How they drop in on your is easy. They see your low wake in SC and have a go. Though if they were smarter they'd realise you only just went in and have nothing of value. Maybe they're optimists, they'd have to be to think piracy is a viable profession when there's literally a fortune lying around them for anyone with a mining laser to pick up.
