Cheap way to get craploads of loot early game

[Nanaki]

An even cheaper and easier way is by visiting XT-26, its full of pirates, but you do NOT want to kill them, instead, hide somewhere and put the game to X4, every once in awile strong trader fleets spawn and skirmish with the pirates. The Pirates almost always win, and never clean up after themselves, and after a little while the entire sector is filled with trader wreckages and dropped trader loot. You can even get free Daga Lasers and Usiel Particle Accellerators from the killed Mercenaries, and of course lots of money.

The only problem is that you need enough firepower to deal with the pirates that ambush you at the gate.
