Piracy vs Npc ( no it's not one of 'those' threads )

I've been searching for an hour now but can't find the info I'm looking for...I swear I read a post not too long ago regarding PvE Piracy. In it someone posted having good finds relating to system economies. Ex: High Tech having ships with Scientific Samples and Boom/Lockdown having ships carrying Rare's! Can't find it now though...

Is this it? It's about half way down.

i was just starting again for BGS stuff, and i'm really impressed. wealthy system, high tech or extraction, go for t7/t9... and if a system is in boom or lockdown, go for keelback, wanted t6... they are smuggling 10-20 rares. quite fun for a change!

Was a lucky hit or they changed something recently. Did quite a few NPC robbery’s, especially when waiting for real customers, and never had NPC's carry lots of value. Got this scientific samples myself a few times, but never more then one or two tons. T9's with higher ranks had always a few tons of gold, but that was it mostly with NPC pirating.
 
They could always bring out a paintjob with 'Canned Tuna' scrawled on the side of it... :D


It'll have to be dolphin friendly tuna though ;)

My 18 scientific samples all came from that keelback, the rest came from a multitude of other targets ranging from a type-6, type 7 and I think a got a bulk of bio waste from a wanted type 9 with about 10t of super conductors as well.

It's pretty much luck. I cargo scan, if it has less than 40t of decentish cargo, I may leave it be, unless it's carrying slaves or imp slaves, or anything over a value of 10k p/t
