Pirates naturally earn combat ranking by attacking and destroying other ships. The primary motivation for pirates is the cargo carried by their prey. Pirates use powerful weaponry and their fearsome reputations to encourage traders to hand over their goods.

Pirates naturally earn combat ranking by attacking and destroying other ships. The primary motivation for pirates is the cargo carried by their prey. Pirates use powerful weaponry and their fearsome reputations to encourage traders to hand over their goods. They can employ [[Limpet Controller/Hatch Breaker|hatch-breaker limpets]] which, when fired at an un-shielded target, will latch onto the [[Cargo Hatch|cargo hatch]] and extract [[Cargo Canister|cargo canisters]]. In addition, once shields are dropped a pirate can shoot the cargo hatch manually to damage it which has the same effect, but this requires more skill.

Exploring ~~is usually a lonely career which~~ involves finding and scanning [[Planets|planetary bodies]]. ~~The profitability depends~~ on ~~the amount~~ of ~~undiscovered exploration~~ data ~~that~~ the ~~pilot~~ sells~~. It's more substantial if the system is unknown. Planetary bodies that were already discovered and mapped display~~ a tag ~~with~~ the ~~commander's name~~. These bodies can still be mapped, albeit for a lower reward. Alternatively, explorers can go [[sightseeing]] of beautiful [[Star system|star systems]] in the Milky Way.

Exploring involves finding and scanning [[Planets|planetary bodies]]. [[Explorer]]s can earn credits and increase their [[Ranks|rank]] by making pioneering jumps to unexplored [[Star system|star systems]], gathering data on [[planets]], [[stars]] and other points of interest within systems. Exploration data can be sold at the [[Universal Cartographics]] of [[Starport]] Services. The first player who sells data about a celestial body will be credited in-game with a "Discovered By" tag on the [[Galaxy Map]]. These bodies can still be mapped, albeit for a lower reward. Alternatively, explorers can go [[sightseeing]] of beautiful [[Star system|star systems]] in the Milky Way.

Trading is the act of buying [[commodities]] at a low price and selling them for a higher price. In Elite: Dangerous the [[Galaxy Map]] can help traders determine profitable trade routes by providing purchasable market data as well as displaying NPC trade routes and economy types. ~~As profitable as it can be to haul~~ cargo around the galaxy, pirates are a hazard ~~and can differ~~ depending on the system.

[[File:Cobra-Repair-Limpet.png|thumb|200px|Cobra MkII and a repair limpet]]

Support is an informal career in which one player aids another by refueling their ship or repairing its hull. This can be accomplished with [[Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller|Fuel Transfer Limpets]] for refuels, [[Repair Limpet Controller|Repair Limpets]] for hull repairs and [[Beam Laser|Beam Lasers]] engineered with [[Regeneration Sequence]] to restore shields. While this career does not guarantee any monetary reward, it can be an interesting and entertaining pursuit on its own. Many explorers often find themselves in need of fuel or repairs while wandering the far reaches of the galaxy, and combat ships can benefit from hull repairs both during and after a battle. Various player groups are dedicated to supporting other commanders, including the [[Fuel Rats]]. In [[AX Conflict Zone|AX Conflict zones]] you can support people with [[Limpet Controller/Decontamination|Decontamination limpets]] to remove caustic chemicals off a [[ship]]'s hull.
