'''<font color=red>Borb's Pirate Tips:</font>''' 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.
 
===Prometheus===
 
The [[Prometheus]] is a great ship for committing acts of piracy. The best version for this act is the MKII it is slower then the SCP but it's large cargo hold allows you to pick up any extra goodies you find laying in the wake of your destruction. The common outfitting of this ship is to have 2 sunflairs and one Gatling Turret. Used right this ship can cause massive damage to trade lanes.
 
'''<font color=red>Borb's Pirate Tips:</font>''' Add this ship and a Valk together and you can cripple the trade lanes of any nation. This ship is like a meat grinder, how ever you must first get the meat to the grinder for it to grind, so use a Valk or some other fighter to slow up the target then come in with your Prom and grind them up. Small note on proms, the pansies of the space lanes do not really think Prom users are vary good pilots, so if you are trying to build up a rep as an uber pilot a Prom is probably a bad idea.
 
===Marauder===
 
Often used as a poor mans Valk the [[Marauder]] is a great Pirate ship. It's speed and large cargo hold allows for many great options, the fact that it can be gotten almost any where makes it almost as available as the Vult, meaning you will most likely fly it at least once in your life. Common configs are similar to the ones used with the Valk.
 
'''<font color=red>Borb's Pirate Tips:</font>''' Keep in mind that the Maud loses almost all maneuverability once it gets any cargo in it's hold so make sure you are reasonably safe before you load it up.
 
===Atlas===
 
No we're not crazy, the [[Atlas]] when used right makes a vary good pirate ship most notably the TPG X [[Atlas]]. Due to the large cargo space this is a vary good looting ship for use on traders or mininers. The fact that it can hold an L port weapon is a vary nice plus. Common outfits are a Mega Positron Blaster and a Neutron 1-3. Or in the configuration known as the Atlas Of Doom, a [[Gatling]] Turret and a Sunflair.
 
'''<font color=red>Borb's Pirate Tips:</font>'''This is a great and vary flexible little ship that can be likened to a Hog. Use it as a suport ship in conjunction with a fighter or even a heavy ship and you will be on your way to hoarding up massive amounts of cargo.
