Your guide to pirates

[superlolcopter]

This guide may only apply to single player and some MP servers

if you are starting out, stay near the shop as pirates cannot attack you there, if possible, use a shop as a base and make your space station there. This can make a trap, to lure pirates in to the shop boundaries and kill them for materials, if they drop a BOBBY AI, sell the leftovers, make a turret and fly in and out of the shop boundaries, attracting more and more pirates to their death.

Feel free to post more tips for fighting these fiends!!

AI, if accuracy not tweaked correctly, will be way more accurate than you are. That\'s a fact - use it to your advantage! Isanth-VI ships have an approx. 600 meter range, so if you have a turret that has more, you have the upper hand in a battle, because, due to the poor shielding the Isanth ships have (they have like, 4 shield blocks) your turret will finish one off by the time it gets to fire its first shots.

If you want to farm pirates, build your base a few sectors away from a pirate station, if you\'re lucky, there will be a space station around in the desired area. apply shielding, mount turrets, and watch as the pirate base keeps sending raiding parties one after another, into their deaths. Protect said base further by making it your faction home, thus making it invulnerable to those pesky pirates.
