'''Piracy''' is a [[~~Roles|role~~]] that involves [[Crime & Punishment|stealing]] [[Commodities]] from other [[ships]] and then [[Trader|selling]] the goods for profit. When stolen Commodities need to be sold on the [[Black Market]], piracy also overlaps with [[Smuggler|smuggling]]. Conventional pirates leverage their superior firepower into quick and easy financial rewards by intimidating traders and [[miner]]s, who acquire their cargo at their own expense and often forego weapons and defences for the sake of cargo space or mining tools, into giving up a portion or all of their cargo in exchange for being allowed to leave the scene intact. However, many pirates also [[Combat|destroy]] their victims while robbing them, either in self-defence or out of malice, which draws the attention of local security forces and [[bounty hunter]]s. A pirate can be considered successful when they make more credits than they expend on maintaining and upgrading their ship.

* Piracy in Anarchy systems solves the problem of 1) Getting a bounty for destruction, and 2) Heavy fines if stolen goods are scanned in cargo holds.

* Only visit high, medium, low security systems for piracy excursions, then return to Anarchy to offload goods.

* You can be the scourge of multiple systems and just change ship and go back to trading when you get bored. This makes piracy viable as a ~~role~~.
