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.
*A concussion mine is never used for damaging a player, as it causes 0 damage. Instead, the concussion mine will, when detonated, exert a very large amount of force on all ships within the blast radius, causing the ships to be thrown of off course. The force exerted is the same on all ships, except ships with more mass will take longer to recover from it.*A lightning mine is very dangerous and can kill ships who decide to hang around it. The lightning mine is equipped with a large battery and much more sophisticated sensors than the other mines. The sensors are able to determine wether whether or not ships within range are hostile. The lightning mine utilizes a weapon that causes pure energy to arch arc from itself to an enemy ship which causes at a rate of 1000 damage per second and will keep firing until the ship is not within out of range, the mine is destroyed, or the mine's energy is depleted and self-destructs. The lightning mine is somewhat easier to spot than proximity and concussion mines due to the electrical arcs that surround it.
===Atlas===
First, we have the [[Ships:Atlas|Atlas]], this is the first transport class ship that players get access to. The main variant can contain 32 cargo and other variants can hold up to 38. The atlas is outfitted with one small weapon port and one large weapon port. There really is not much to say about the Atlas except that it is a low level trading vessel and fairly easy prey, there are much bigger space fish to fry..
