Pirates: Difference between revisions

==Description==

Jor. Any ships affiliated with the Pirate faction will attack any ships at a minimum of 13,000 studs away from them. Pirate ships will not attack [[:Category:Planets|Planets]]/[[:Category:Starbase|Starbases]] whether the faction that owns it is on the enemy or not.

==Pirate Fleet==

The Pirate ships that currently spawn naturally are the following:

<div class="shipnav">

{{ShipLink|Dragoon}}

{{ShipLink|Jormungand}}

{{ShipLink|X-0}}

{{ShipLink|Galleon}}

{{ShipLink|Kodiak}}

</div>

{{ShipLink|Scowling}}

* Pirate ships that are [[Dreadnoughts|Dreadnought]]-class or larger have the ability to call all pirate currently in the map to their aid, with the exception of [[X-0]].

*The Strategies on how to beat them can be found in their respective ship pages.

Pirate Ships tend to have more hull health and focus on hull damage.

Note: All Pirate ships, from [[Dragoon]], all the way to the [[Kodiak]], follow their respective damage resistance in the Ship class they're in. ''(e.g, Galleon has 50% Damage Resistance due to being a [[Dreadnoughts]] class Ship.)''

Originally, in Beta. Pirates only spawned at the Freedom Base when a player accepted the [[Galaxy Star Wars Event|Freedom Base Quest]] at the [[Mega Base]] when speaking to [[Luca Sky]] (formerly [[Galaxy Star Wars Event|Luke Skybawler]]). One pirate spawned per person who accepts the quest with a maximum of 9 pirates. They also used to spawn randomly at the [[Freedom Base]]. Prior to the public release, there was no max amount of pirates, leading to swarms of pirates able to take down a fleet of Dreadnoughts. Pirate Avengers chased the player for up to 10K studs and did a lot more damage than normal [[Avenger]]s do.

The Pirate [[Osprey]] was removed to make it a bit easier for players to kill the Pirates. The Pirate [[Starblade]] was also later removed for being too OP with backward firing torpedoes, aimbot, and ramming. This left only the Pirate [[Avenger]] as a possible pirate ship back then.

*Version ''???'' added a new Pirate Boss; The [[Kodiak]] spawned by during the "Dining in Hell" and "Depthbreaker" quest paths, and later spawned naturally.

*Version ''???'' saw the Valentine's Day 2021, which spawned pirate ships; the Pirate [[Heartbreaker]], and Pirate [[Hearteater]].

*Version .72f1 added a new Pirate Boss; The [[Galleon]].

*Version .75a9 saw the [[April Fool's Event 2022]], which temporarily replaced [[Galleon]]'s spawns with Pirate [[Waspinator|Waspinators]].

*Version .75a11 enabled the spawns of a recent event ship, [[Yname (ship)|yname]]. These spawned in huge numbers and could call pirates once they have a target. These spawns were later disabled.

*Most Pirate ships are variants of their playable counterparts.

*It is possible for '''Pirates''' to capture a [[:Category:Planets|Planet]], by hiding behind or inside a planet, so while Pirates try to shoot you down, they hit the planet instead.

*[[Aliens]], The [[U.N.E]] and [[Pirates]] will fight each other.

*Admins can spawn extremely powerful Pirate Fleets in public servers, though this is met with some rules.

*The only AI Faction to use a [[:Category:Freighter|Freighter]] as part of their fleet.
