That may be the dumbest thing I've done yet to date in Elite...

i have played tons of piracy missions in the last BGS operation to unlock borasetani pathogenics - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=237033 - because anarchistic factions ted to give out piracy missions. i was very much surprised that trade data and system map work better than eddb.io!

- use trade-route filter in galaxy map, buy trade data
- search source of a commodity and go to station exporting those goods (is listed under exported items).
- scan traders leaving that staion

... takes around 20 minutes per mission. after a while you know the sources of most commodities around. no problem in timeframes of mission timers.

Good info there, cheers

So here I am, making a bunch of different deliveries, while also doing some minor trading inbetween... (taking smuggling missions while filling up the rest of my hold with stuff to sell along the way, go 600t Corvette!) Simple enough, right? Well, It's a good 8 jumps off in my Corvette, and I kinda got bored, and ended up getting interdicted along the way for my phat lute. No big deal, initiate standard protocol sumbit and high-wake... Except that I got curious, because the pirate's always yell at you to, "Drop yer loot! or diiie!" So I thought, "I wonder if they'll actually leave me alone if I do?" So I go to my cargo, and I see a few tons of some random illegal item, and I'm like, "wtfunk is this random crap? Stolen crop harvetser? When did I scoop that?" *dumps* Pirate: "That's not enough! I want it all!" *dumps more random stuff* *pirate continues to fire* "Huh, guess it didn't work." *high-wakes out*

...then I realize those random items were there for the smuggling missions I had taken and had forgotten about in my little venture to test out the pirates. XD Oops. That was a three million dollar mistake... Unless someone knows where I can find a collection of about 7 different types of stolen goods, lmao. *que the group facepalm video*

Does the mission specify stolen? If not any cargo should do. If you're still stuck and the mission haven't expired by the time I get home from work (6 hours from now ) give me a list of the cargo you need and I'd be happy to come drop it for you so it counts as stolen

A rep well spent.

I love kindness among thieving smugglers!

At home now, any work if OP has sorted his missions out?
