And a little tip for SSS. When you jump in, sometimes you will see a trade ship (often a T9) with a heavy escort of perhaps 4 ships. Don't attack straight away. Wait a minute or so. Sometimes a group of police will also jump in. If you wait longer, they will clear off. Let them do so, then attack.
If you attack straight away you might find yourself trying to fend off not on the escort, but also the police.
By the way, one tactic is to ignore the escort. Just get the shields down on the trader then hatch breaker or shoot the cargo hatch, grabs the goods, and get out.
You're not going to be getting any bounty payments and the more you kill the higher your own bounty becomes. Do the job, get out, get your payment.
