Trophy hunting- that's a good comparison. I often settled for lesser merchants in my patrols (like, 95% of the opportunities for them), but you could really rack up the tonnage if you restricted yourself to the bigger ships. Nevertheless, 250K tons in a single mission is quite the accomplishment.
And your realism settings were nothing major. Heck, I'd consider switching to autorecognition after being annoyed at flipping through pages of sailboats, or ocean liners, to get to the merchants I hunt 90% of the time!
