The DEV`s will hate what I'm about to tell you:
Casual players can both have fun and be successful with piracy RIGHT NOW!

Good evening Commanders and sorry for the Clickbait. My last Forumpost was 6 years ago. There is something i have to tell you...
Through many coincidences and discoveries I managed to identify a very special System. A lot of different requirements where nailed in system "Gandii", so I went in...
I was looking for great things. I was looking for something special... and I found it.
Many different Factors did create the perfect Enviroment, a lonely LowRES in a metallic Belt, Gandii A 11.
And this tiny, shady generic Place... is where the Magic happens:
Right now, in Boomstate (Thanks to CMDR HugoHabicht who did help me to achieve it) those are the hard Facts:
■ About 50% of every T6/T7/T9 is carrying Platin, half of them have a LOT of it
■ Less then 5% of all Ships do have PDTs, so you can just rob them without disabling
■ You can sell basicly right next to the RES, 3 Stations in a 5ls Radius, all with high demand, all with active Blackmarkets. This allows for the quickest possible sell/rearm.
■ My personal average is 300t Plat + 150t Silver/Gold/Pall per Hour, but im sure there are better Pilots out there.
I was able to clean every Ship without interdiction, without disabling, and most important: WITHOUT BUMPSTOPPING! And that makes it the best Piracy for Casual Players, yes i look on you average Joe!
And from here, you should ask yourself what category of Commander you are:
Either you want more of a short fun, then try it out, make some Money, then take off.
But if you enjoy it enough and appreciate the Value of this System, you can (with relativly small expense) activly help to:
A] Make the Boom last longer
B] Reach the next Boom faster
2 Commanders (both Casuals) did need 14 Days to push from “None” to “Boom” just by selling 500t per day to the Blackmarkets (Silver/Gold/Pall). That means when there are like 10 Commanders doin it, the time to push Gandii into Boom will be 3 Days (which is the minimum). You can just sell the lower Value Metal and keep the Platin till Gandii is booming again.
1 Commander can maintain “Boom” for about 1 Week just by selling 500t per Day. That means when there are like 10 Commanders doin it, the time it lasts can go up to 28 Days (which is the maximum).
So if we all (or just some) go there to “second-hand-mine” that sweet Platinum, we can do it for up to a Month. We all just save a bit stolen Metal (Silver/Gold/Pall) on our FC´s to sell to the Blackmarkets right after the Boom did end. That does bring the Boom back in a few Days for another Month.
So do eat your vegetables and dont forget to sell stolen Silver/Gold/Pall to the Blackmarket so we all can have fun here for a bit!
I will add Stuff to this from time to time, and i am interested in your Experiences there.
We have to keep that sweet thing goin, Commanders!
Over and Out!
EDIT1:
It seems that Gandii is way more then just a System where we rob Miners in the Rings. You can also do Station-Raids or Megaship-Raids here!
Thanks to GraphiteGB and GroG79!
EDIT2:
It seems that we can find PLAT as well as LTD in those metallic Rings
