again, questions (trade and rp-logic)

Greetings community,

i'm curious about trade chains. how can i find bases, buying e.g. ores and later a trader can rebuy it, making his own profit?
only with specific contracts with PoB owners? is there a list i still not found? are there some "public" trade stations?
( the point is. with my mining ship i don't fly through the whole galaxy. i want to be at home, after a long day of mining.)

the second question is about piracy encounters. demanding 30% from the max profit of a cargo, from a miner (not a trader), quasi next to the mining field, obviously not heading to this max profit base .. effectively demanding over 100% of the self calculated profit ..
does this say: I want to destroy you but have to demand something before?
I'm just asking, if this is a normal method i have to get used to?
till yesterday, all demands made some kind of sense. this was new and some kind of confusing to me.


ok, that's it for now =)
