The pirates will flock, and you'll boost your Elite rating as you go to the station to increase your credit account. Now a little about the systems you'll be trading in to make life easier. At Riedquat, nothing at all is illegal. I've even accidentally fired my weapons in the vicinity of a space station, and I didn't even get the customary fine. This does mean you have to be wary at all times and quite accomplished in combat to succeed in this system.
Traders there are often a fairly hard-nosed type, and are usually well armed.
The local brews are very good. Generally, the locals are friendly despite the anarchistic nature of the system. I think the locals are just too laid back to try and enforce any type of law and order in Reidquat system space - I've never met anyone from this system who bears any malice. The pirates all come from surrounding systems. The now rare Python and Coriolis space station Diso is a system where you'll see a fair bit of combat, but unless you're going there to trade, it's not worth bothering with.
