Since the latest updates, it is easy to do some real profit at a RES since bounties have been increased and wanted NPC are spawned bigger.
But why the hell would anyone be willing to pirate these few mining ships while the area is crawling with security patrols and bounty hunters? Even Pythons/Anaconda have no chance to attack a mining ship, collect its cargo (can't even think of filling it) and go away in one piece. Seriously, have you ever heard of of any player doing his pirate thing at a RES?
I would like to see way more mining ships spread over a large area, and NPCs showing up only as wings of 3, while one of them focus on the mining ship and the other ones defends against the security. Their target should be essentially isolated mining ships. They should also retreat as soon as they get some cargo, if they are outgunned or 2 of them have been put down.
So far, all of this seems so...fake.
