'''Piracy''' is a [[career]] that | '''Piracy''' is a [[career]] that is centered around [[Crime & Punishment|plundering]] [[goods]] and [[commodities]] from other [[ships]] and then [[Trader|selling]] them for profit. The stolen commodities can be sold on a [[Black Market]] which overlaps with [[Smuggler|smuggling]]. Pirates leverage their superior firepower into quick financial rewards by intimidating [[Trader|traders]] and [[miner]]s to acquire their cargo in exchange for allowing them to leave alive. Traders and miners often forego weapons and defences for the sake of cargo space or mining tools. However, many pirates also [[Combat|destroy]] their victims while robbing them, either in self-defence or out of malice. This draws the attention of [[System Authority Vessel|local security forces]] and [[bounty hunter]]s. A pirate is successful when they make more [[credits]] than they spend on maintaining and upgrading their ship. Pirates also go [[On Foot|on foot]] to loot valuable [[goods]] and [[assets]] at [[Settlement|settlements]]. Pirates are considered criminals in all lawful [[Star system|systems]]. | ||

Pirates who [[On Foot|disembark]] from their ships can loot [[Settlement]]s. The [[Maverick Suit]] is ideal for this task as its [[Arc Cutter]] can be used to cut open metal panels and maglocks to access [[Goods]] and [[Assets]]. | Pirates who [[On Foot|disembark]] from their ships can loot [[Settlement]]s.
