There seem to be a problem with having to much cargo around in space instances. If people can dump endless cargo this will be abused and may cripple frame rates on low end computers. I understand the problem, but there is a solution. Make NPCs start picking up cargo again. I dont think they do it now. Its strange, because pirates ask for cargo but dont pick it up.
Or let a scooping party jump in and scoop up the cannisters. Random, but like a salvaging crew. And if people litter cannisters around the stations. Make a station salvaging ship show up and scoop up the cargo, or pirates jump in and begin to scoop. There should be scooping going on.
I can see that only dropping 20 cannisters can be little lucrative to pirates. If someone have other ideas be free to post them.
I think its fun scooping cargo, but when you can blow up a ship in a RES for 120000cr and 1 ton of gold/narcotics gets you 7000-8000cr it is to time consuming even with drones to scoop it up. If prices on the black market go up. This will change, people will scoop more, which I see as a core element in Elite Dangerous.
