===Behemoth===
Surprise! The Behemoth is good for pirating. When hunting down a Behemoth, having a partner along in a Behemoth is quite useful. He can add support fire, and when the enemy Behemoth explodes, he can pick up all the cargo and split the profit.
===Valkrie===
With the newer addtion of drain to many lighter ships, the Valkyrie (Valk) is fast becoming the mark of pro-pirates. Known for alone time as more of a status symbol more then any thing else due to the fact that it took such high levels to get it was long over looked as a good fighter ship due to it's shape which can make it easy to hit.
That was all changed when an unknown pirate started using it to chase down moths. (Behemoth) It was then discovered that it's low drain cupeled with it's three small ports made it ideal for running down traders who just wanted to get to the next port alive.
Common configurations are: Three sunflairs due to the flaires not using any energy this ship is made for running down infi-boost ships and stopping them.
One Sunflair, and two gauss. Or two flair one gauss, this ship is more of a fighter used to run down and then pummel fleeing ships. It's rockets are used to cause the fleeing ship to tumble around then it closes in and uses it's gauss/es to inflict heavy damage before the trader can recover.
Lastly two ion or phase and one gauss, or one ion or phase and two neutrons 1-3. This ship is often used in conjunction with the first tri-sun valk to great effect. The tri-sun will hit the target and this ship will then fly in close and inflict damage before the trader can regain he bearings. Or this ship will engage the trader and the tri-sun will fly around behind the trader filling him full of rockets.
Borb's Pirate tip: It often helps if you are using any kind of rockets with a buddy to make sure you are of the same nation and both have good faction. Rockets tend to not care if you are friend or not.
