So I have been trading in a lakon 6 made a mill but now I'm wanting to try something else . I really want to try piracy but have no idea to go about it.

Wondered if someone could give me a quick run down on what to do to be a pirate and be profitable.

I was thinking a viper or eagle is the way to go but other than that I'm clueless so please educate me :)


P.S are there anacondas in standard beta have not seen any for sale on my travels

a quick rundown? kill people, steal their cargo, sell it on the black market.

that's it in a nutshell but when you come to sell the goods do it somewhere without too many police/security ships like an anarchy system or your liable to get shot to bits entering the space station.

when in SC look out for unidentified signal sources, these will be your prey.

also a good idea to check out the BB as there are a lot of missions asking you to kill civilians in the various conflict zones, take the mission you can earn for the kill as well as the cargo.

oh and i'd go with the viper, more cargo space and much better armoured than the eagle and IIRC you can fit better weapons too.

You'll need to target cargo hatches.

Gimballed multi-cannons are quite good for that in combination with your favorite lasers to take the shields down first.

You used to find Anacondas in resource extraction zones that would yield a great return. Take out the hatch and they'd spill some decent cargo. Not sure about the latest version of the game though.

So .. you want to be a pirate huh.

Difficult life you have chosen - plus, with not all the elements in place perhaps an impossible task too.

However: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find some traders, scan and confirm they are carrying valuable cargo, target them and blow the cargo doors out, and steal any cargo that is dropped. Once retrieved take the cargo to a station for a profit.

Consider the mission to have failed if you destroy the target.

(From the DDF you progress as a pirate if you sell stolen goods and it harms your pirate progress if you kill people)

To add what other have said, and bearing in mind that we can't interdict yet.

Head to a anarchy / independent sector. You can sit outside the no fire zone and target haulers or other cargo ships.

As stated - target the cargo hatch, no need to kill them. Taking out the cargo hatch will result in you getting more cargo.

You can also stop at the unidentified signal sources. Sometimes you will find a cargo ship there, which is ideal for your nefarious purposes.


Being a pirate is about gaining the profits/cargo, and that doesn't automatically mean just kill everything. Have fun!

Go back to Alpha where it was viable.

The best you can do now is go to the resource extraction site in LP98-132 and try and shoot the cargo hatches off ships.

After an hour or so doing this you will realise it is futile.
