Somtimes piracy doesn't require force...just a bit of luck and some good timing.
Act 2 - Find the Marauder Base was created by Da1N_Br4m4g3D
Ok...I managed to discover the "hidden" L-Point and hide in the junk when the Corvettes and Freighter arrive, but when I try to get near the Freighter to use it for cover, I get noticed and then summarily handed me arse before being able to either A) defend myself or
run like a dog with its tail between it's legs. Any help on how I might be able to complete this mission would be greatly appreciated. I can't for the life of me figger out what I am missing. Also, would the tug hiding in the junk have something to do with it, or is it just there to raise questions??
Thanks,
Dain

Give it a good bang.....
See I told you that would fix it.

I alway's waited until the freighter just passed me by then auto formated with it and never got noticed, and I've gone through the game about 4 times.
hope that helps.

You don't really need any special kind of loadout, it's almost certain that you won't get noticed but if you do, all you really need is some basic weapons so you can take care of the marauder cutters. First time I tried this mission, I moved towards the transport and then auto-formated with it, the cutters noticed me and engaged me. I fired an LDSi missile at the transport so it wouldn't go into LDS and get away, took care of the cutters and then auto-formated with the transport again.
Second time I tried it I targetted the transport and auto-formated immediately, without using my thrusters to move towards it or anything and didn't get noticed.

Viva la revolucion!

what the hell? i must be missing something cuz i cant complete this mission. i wait in the junkyard and can fly around as i please without getting noticed simply by reducing reactor output. but the incomming freighter simply stops after jumping in. i fly around it, formate to it... nothing. if i shoot it enough it always starts moving towards a police station some distance away and gets destroyed... this cant be right
