This is propably basic enough that most people are aware of it already, but just in case someone feels strapped for cash and want a safe way of getting some coin, I figured I'd share this little note.
I should also note that I started with 50 mirrors, so I've never needed more than 2 flares to expose an enemy.. thus my attack pattern against pirates has always been flare-flare-attack-attack-attack. Even with the basic gun, only every 7th pirate on average dealt more than 2 damage.
Just above Fallen London, there is a buoy, close to the coast west of Low Barnet. You can settle your ship just north of the buoy, at the edge of it's light and turn of your own lights - Then wait for pirates to come for you.
I tried this because I found myself strapped for cash after buying a freighter for all my cash and it's proven a stable way of getting first a couple of prizes and now I spend time there slowly but steadily filling my hold if I am doing other things.
Actually filling up your hold with goodies is VERY time consuming though and not something I recommend doing if you are actually looking to actively game, personally I am doing it while hanging up laundry and cleaning my apartment  The occasional humm of a pirate encounter every minute or so is a nice, short break.
