On a few occasions when I have left arramorre base with a full load of gold the NPC mollys have been waiting for me as I undock. As if someone told them I was on my way out the Molly demands I drop it before I even have control of my vessel. Considering that hold sells so cheap there why are mollys even demanding gold? Or is this just a glitch that needs repair?
They ask for the first thing they see in your hold, so carry 1 water or something, and they will ask for that, instead.

Get green with NPCs and they stop demanding your cargo (except for police/military when it comes to contraband). Since your running gold for them, you might as well get green with them.
back when I 'farmed' scrap metal outside of bornholme on my junker, I'd always get the corsair and hessian NPC's trying to pirate it from me.
So I carried 1 unit of consumer goods and 1 diamond to hand out instead, and yes I do believe they scan/demand in alphabetical order.

Not always an option. See, as a junker it can be extremely difficult to maintain nuetral to friendly rep with nearly every faction in sirius. Our only real enemies are supposed to be limited to xenos and hogosha, with minor enemy status given to kusari groups.
If you get green with one controversial faction (like the mollys), it tends to piss off their enemies.
