Or buy a moon and ship it off.

Refering to Dilbert: So if one owns an Anaconda one has no need of a 'hidden' cargospace for smuggling:
the <50% narcs won't be spotted amongst the 'quality digital wristwatches' in your cavernous cargoholds.

Forgot about them!

So why, when you blow one up -- I mean, help clear away the debris of unfortunate mishaps -- do they contain so few cargo cannisters? Could it be that most Anaconda pilots are scouring the galaxies for a decent load, cursing the fact they've been conned into buying ships that can clean out a Coriolis and still have room for a small moon...?

Probably because you vaporised most of the ship-and cargo?

Never happens when I nuke* Boas and Pythons. Or do they have self-destruct buttons fitted to their escape pods...

*I use "nuke" here in the "clearing up space debris" sense of course. Just in case there's any GalCops about.

Which makes me wonder, if you were to ever get into big-time trading, what would be the point of an Anaconda with a 750 ton cargo capacity? The most you can usually get of anything is 50-70 tons...

Giles has stated several times that what we have access to is a “grey” fringe market. Anacondas probably mostly belong to big shipping companies working regular contracts.
