Best way to farm Viridian Lasers?

They're my favorite weapons but it's so hard to get a full complement of the things. Any ideas on the best ways to farm them?

find several bounties in a galaxy and eventually a pirate lord will appear as a skull with crossbones on the map. warp directely at him. If he is stationary then blow him too bits. If he is actively warping at the time follow him but stay to his left or right. Do not warp while behind him. He will have some of his convoy get close to you to force you out of warp. The pirate lords are fast and may be able to outrun you if are are knocked out of warp. I love this game and play ever so often to relax.

In my experience, Korian Sieges.

If you want T5 (minimum) or T6 Viridians, Pirate Lords are probably a better bet, IMO, but you're not wrong.

BTW, you don't have to do bounties to see a Pirate Lord; it's just a good way to kill the time while you wait (they'll appear, eventually).

I wish alien weapons spawned more often on the pirate lords. I hate save scumming their drops.

Ehh. Since it's all the endgame you get anyway, I NEVER savescum.

How would you effectively save scum anyway? Exiting to the title screen seems to automatically save.

Alt-F4 doesn't save, and relaunching the game is faster than flying into a planet and waiting for your ship to blow up, especially with Aegis shields.

It's a question of time. How long does it take to get a pirate lord to spawn vs. save-scumming the same lord until it gets me an alien weapon? I don't want to waste all that precious time (which I can't get back) making a pirate lord spawn just to get another MK4 scatter turret.
