Piracy is cooler than ever now that's fixed

So stealing from other players seems to be fixed; even when the other guy departs the instance you can grab and keep the loot.

The rules:

1. The lower the rank the easier to steal from
2. Try not to kill the victim, especially before he hands over the loot
3. Try to find out where the traders are getting their goods and interdict them near that place; interdiction/piracy in the CG system is a pain
4. And most important, have fun!

Most traders do multiple hops, so find out where the best price is, then plot a course from there to the CG system, figuring that traders have relatively low jump ranges. Then just wait in a system along the route, preferably anarchy, and do the big 'ol nasty to them there.

Now we just need our proper crime, punishment and working rep system so you pirates can become Crime Lords, Petty Criminals or Mafia Bosses with ranks!

I agree Pirating is good fun and most agree with you list, but you forgot system security. Firing a hatch breaker at a clean trade will summon the security Cops faster than the Road Runner fleeing old Wylie coyote. You will have to be quick picking up what he has dropped. Try to do your work in an Anarchy system, or low security. This is where a wake scanner comes in useful. Bring down the target scan him using Cargo Scanner (Manifest) then if cargo really really worth it follow him to a system that has low or no security, then do him!

PS. Not watched your vid, so it might already say what i have....
