Military pilots may have high morale & are therefore often very reluctant to bail. When I needed that Argon M3 I went hunting for traders flying them through pirate sectors. Lower morale pilots, flying through hostile sectors, with no police presence or backup around - only took half a dozen or so attacks on Argon trade M3s before I persuaded one to jump ship (think it was a High Tech Trader flying a basic Nova). Certainly took nowhere near 5 hours to obtain.

Yup various traders and civilian ships use the M3-M5 Argon ships, they just have different names. Target them and use F3 to look at them to see what model ship they fly. And then show info and look at the stats of the ship (max speed, cargo size) to determine whether it's an M3 Nova Raider or M3 Nova Sentinel, for example.
