This article is about the ships that are used in Pirating, not the NPCs.

Pirate Ship

Pirate ships generally have high firepower, maneuverability, and enough health to survive in range of Starbase turrets. Due to these general parameters, most ships favored by Pirates are Cruisers and Battlecruisers. Keep in mind that it is possible to pirate in many classes of ships, especially those under the control of skilled pilots, but some are more effective than others.
