Quote:Pirates can fly freighters (I recommend Kadesh [I think] Freighter, as it can even help take out the other transport) they just can't trade. But kill and loot you can.
Wait...pirates can't trade? Why? Why is smuggling cardamine from Ainu to Rochester not piratey?
"Pilot carrying this ID has joined pirates of Sirius sector. Pirate ID grants its owner right to scan other ships and demand cargo (not allowed for cruisers and battleships), engage bounty hunters and lawfuls, fulfil bounty contracts, participate in military operations on unlawful side, and trade. Pirate ID owner cannot ally with lawful forces.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Gunboats, Cruisers (limited), Battleships (limited)"
Trade, Smuggle, demand cargo, attack lawfuls, collect bounties-its all right there on the ID
Pretty much all the other faction pirate IDs are like this too
and Dab is right, get yourself something with more firepower than a Dromedary or you will not have much success.
Much better than the dromedary (when the time comes) its the turanic raider freigther (400 of cargo good shields i used a transport shield on it and good weapons), cost alot but its the better of the freigthers, another one (the 2 one in that class) its the kushan one (the first cost 1.8M the second 1.5M).
the 3 is the bactrian a corsair one (i dont like that and didnt used) 8000 or armor 4/4 and cost close to 1M.
after that you have the kadesh one but only minimal armor compared to the dromedary.
The Xshuttle has good cargo and armor and cost like 440k with many frontal weapons but turnss realllly bad).
lux liners are more or less like transports so you cant use them (the kusari one is really a good ship).
Ah i remember that dont use the heavy lifter my game crashed in another server (berlin one) that was the first time of that.
