One of the activities you can enjoy while playing Vendetta is pirating. Pirating is an accepted aspect of Vendetta. Pirating people in a nations space is not wise, as this will cause your standing to plummet. Pirating happens most often in sectors that have a wormhole but don't have a station. When you partake in pirating, you need to consider what ships to pirate, and what ship to pirate in.

There are many ships in the world of Vendetta. Some are multi-purposed, some made for fighting, and some made to transport cargo. The ships you want to pirate are, of course, the transport classes. There are several transport ships out there and aspects of them that need to be put into consideration when pirating. But beware, when a transport vessel has at least one large port, there is the possibility of a gatling turret or mines that needs to be taken into consideration. There are several types of mines out there that can, and most likely will come your way eventually.
*A proximity mine is your basic mine. It will sit in space happily until its short range sensors detect something, at which point it will detonate itself, causing your ship damage and to be pushed off course. The range of its sensors is quite short, about 80 meters.
