Favorite Piracy Spot?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Favorite Piracy Spot?

There doesnt really seem to much about good piracy spots on the forums. I personally have no problems raiding Daumann Trains full of diamonds in at the Dresden jumpgate then hot footing it to New Tokyo. Piracy is superior to Trading because you are making 100% profit.

My favorite spot, which is a ripper because its against the Rogues (so your pirating the pirates!) is in the Cortez system. From the Cortez - California jumpgate fly south toward the California jumphole. Wait for any Rogue Mule's to show up. This is the easiest way to get Cardamine for free. Once you're full head to manhattan, avoid being scanned and let the crdits roll in. The beauty of doing this is you will also grab Usiels and Vassago's to add to your overall profit. However the best (and rarest....i've only ever found them twice) is when you scan a mule with Alien Organisms. Pop him off, tractor, go through the jumphole which you conveniently are already at, fight off any hackers/rogues on the other side. Set a course for California Minor and sell off the organisms that didnt die for 2000 a piece, too easy right? Rinse and repeat. You can mix it up by looting Gold, H-Fuel etc.. and just dump them at Curacao for decent Creds.

Once i jacked a train full of Niobium at the Dresden jumpgate. Head on down to Leipzig....pay day!

Anyone else into piracy like me and would like to share some hotspots they know of?

been too long since i explored best places to sell stuff, but usually there's a pocket of hessians around the ring. bust them and you get niobium. land on the ring and sell'em. 1440 apiece. duno, they didn't carry anything when i scanned them, but when they bite it they let go of so many stuff, like consumer goods, niobium usually. maybe stilettos are made of niobium?

I know I shall meet my fate, somewhere in the stars above, those I fight I do not hate, those I guard I do not Love

Rochester. Lots of traffic goes by there, and just enough debris to make it interesting, not aggravating like the Badlands.

i had a few normal piracy spots, like planet mojave...

i do also a lot off piracy in new york itself, i fly the dagger most off the times... but i stay also on places on unmodded servers where the class 10 ships have also divicults with the real piracy on spots...
planet mojave can be a real battlefield and a hard target for the class 10 fighters... but the loot is sold at the nearby rogues base...

i do a lot off piracy by tradeline ends nearby pirate/criminal bases, so i have a lot off income in short time... it's also whise to team up with a freighter with will beam all up, while 1 or 2 fighters will attack everyone in range...
