Elite Dangerous: Piracy, Faster Cash than a Haz RES

UPDATE: Ships carrying LTDs now spawn in industrial systems and the general mechanics have changed significantly since this video was made. See   / elitepirates   for latest information.

An introductory guide to profitable NPC piracy for players looking for a new challenge. More to come in future videos regarding piracy in secure systems etc. I hope this helps!

UPDATES:
When hitting drives, only take them to 2 to 5%. Don't take them to 0%. This will stop them boosting but avoid them spinning out of control.

Some of the videos I watched while learning to pirate.
   • Elite Dangerous - Does Piracy Pay?  
   • Видео  
   • Elite Dangerous PVE Piracy  
   • Elite Dangerous HOW TO PIRATE!  

And another good one released more recently. This one is much closer to my method and is absolutely worth a watch.
   • Piracy: PVE low temperature diamonds ...  

Expert long range module sniping using a rail gun.
   • Shield of Justice Patrol 2.3 | Cobra ...
