''' | '''Pirates''' are NPCs and players who take cargo from other pilots in order to make a profit. The philosophy of an Elite Dangerous pirate is quite simple, "Give up your cargo or I'll open fire!". | ||
Pirates attack other [[ships]] for profit or gain, and very few other reasons. You will find pirates operating anywhere in the Elite universe but mainly in systems where the security forces and defences are weak, or absent. When pirating it is highly recommended to stick to "Anarchy" systems because attacking ships anywhere else will add a bounty to the player's head. It is also worth noting that if the last [[station]] you docked was owned by a minor faction you have a bounty with, you have to pay that bounty if you're destroyed as you'll re-spawn at that station, thus it's recommended to have your station be in anarchy space. | Pirates attack other [[ships]] for profit or gain, and very few other reasons.
