This CG will require an exceptionally large amount of dedication to be in the top 5% if one is not flying an anaconda. I expect nearly the entire top 5% to be comprised of anaconda pilots.

That would be me
. On this occasion top 5 is a big ask of any other ship, even the mighty T9.
I'm not criticizing your method, but I think you're being a little too harsh which could hurt your profits. If I used your piracy rules instead of my own I would lose at least 1/3rd of my income.
Once a player's drives are shot out, they are usually more amenable to your "request". You might be losing money by just blowing them up outright.
Anyway, you're free to do as you wish, no judgment, I was just offering my perspective as a fellow pirate. Imo the most important things for a pirate's profit is, a wide range of macros, aim to shoot out the drives, and the ability to control his itchy trigger finger.

Am I reading this right? You tried to flee and then he blew you up? That sounds pretty fair to me. Perhaps he should have shot out your drives, but it's not on him if you try to escape.

So as I'm greeted with instant lasers I'm supposed to stop and wait? Because so far that's how I've been hailed by pirate/interdicting CMDRs...
Do you see how this turns into a vicious cycle?
Then I didn't read it right. It sounded to me like you fled first, then he killed you.
Somewhere between 900 and 1200 tons, mine ticked to the top 15% somewhere in there.
A fun bit of play on this CG, and I'll have to come back from time to time to collect a supply of that Crystaline Gold! Not to mention a few interesting exploration areas I've spotted while hanging out at Sothis.
Hi Rapidfire, I met you in SC on my way into Newholm after my mining expedition.
I'm really enjoying this CG, I've done a lot of deep space exploration, Buckyball Runs to Sag A*, etc, but Sothis has a great "out on the frontier" feeling to it that's very atmospheric.
I wouldn't have had time to join the counter-piracy efforts yesterday, so I just dropped off my mining haul (only included 40t or so of gold unfortunately) and then made a third cargo hauling run to get back into the top 30%. I didn't spot any pirates on either visit anyway, although there was some salty banter in the dock at Newholm. Yar!
I should have time to switch ships tonight, so I'll try to join the counter-piracy crew with my minimal pvp skills!

Thank you for the link, it was fun to see my sidewinder from another CMDR's view lol
For those of you flying into Sothis at the moment, be careful as the Sothis system is being patrolled by a pirate .
He seemed an honorable pirate asking me to throttle down while he scanned me and then only asking for around 20% of my cargo.
I didn't give it to him as I'm flying a heavily shielded anaconda but had I been in a smaller ship I would have complied as he seemed a good enough sort.

Indeed they were.I was his wingman in the FDL, unfortunately he had a slow internet connection so we kept getting split into different instances. On that occasion we both interdicted you at the same time (instance bug?) and I got kicked out of supercruise into empty space with a long cool-down... hence why you had a lone adder to fight lol
The instancing gods were kind to you!
Taking on an FDL in an ASP wouldn't have ended well for me.
[stockholmsyndrome] see! He's a good guy[\stockholmsyndrome]
*leaves silently* D:

Wondering this myself. I got 481 tonnes yesterday and went to the 30% tier, would love to keep it, though my math says otherwise...
Was he flying a Clipper? I don't get why anyone bothers targeting us guy's flying Anaconda's.. It is amusing tho, one guy had the cheek to tell me not to run
Am enroute now, will see who's out there.
