I've seen that capturing as many of these as one might want is fairly easy as a pirate. However, I'm wondering if someone does this wouldn't that essentially make the independents NOT want to purchase goods from your stations? If you have a thriving mining venture on the side, and plenty of resources that are piling up, and yet you can't make any money worth a darn, could this possibly be due to making permanent enemies of the independent freighters out there, who might otherwise want to hand over cash for all the goods you are pulling in?

Thanks

Nah, doing this as empire this hurt you reputation but as pirates it's no further consequences. Simply instead independeces traders the pirate control transport market.
