PSA: Piracy at the Community goal

This isn't what you think.

Earlier this evening I was bumbling about in my Asp looking for something to do when I got interdicted by an NPC who seemed to think I had something he wanted. Which was odd because I was under the impression there was nothing in my hold. Oh wait, look there's some Bromelite in there I had forgotten about. Cheers mister, I might have forgotten all about that if you hadn't drawn my attention to it.

So after I turned in his bounty and sold my Bromelite I looked at the CG which was nearby and when I saw what they wanted I decided to summon my freshly hollowed out T9 (Dunno where they found that class 8 cargo bay but I sure do appreciate it.) and go looking for weaponry.

An hour and a half later and I'm in the top 10 with a few thousand tons of landmines delivered but I'm a bit sad because I didn't get Griefed or Pirated once. I flew in open too. It was almost as if its not really full of salt farmers and baby eaters.

But the thing that is really bugging me is that I didn't get Pirated by any NPC either. Not one local yahoo showed up on my 6 jump journey to keep me company.
Which is odd don't you think? I mean these dudes show up for your one ton of micro weave hoses but they totally ignore 700 tons of landmines travelling the same route over an hour or so?

Does signing up for a CG reduce the amount of NPC Pirates? I think it does.
 
I have been interdicted while running missions, so I think it's just a case of RNGesus being on your side for a change.

Edit, although I did notice a couple of times after receiving a mission update telling me that a target was after me, that the npc only caught up to me once I dropped out of super cruise at my target station. Perhaps there have been some undocumented tweaks to npc interdiction/interception chance.
