== Playing as a pirate ==

Pirates operate anywhere in the Elite universe, but low-security systems where system security and defenses are weak or absent are the most lucrative for pirates. Pirating is mostly seen in Anarchy systems, or systems where the minor [[Factions|faction]] in charge is an Anarchy Government. Most pirating takes places in Anarchy systems as it avoids the attacking pirate gaining a bounty, and avoids response from system security NPCs.

It's worth nothing that if the last [[station]] you were docked is owned by a minor faction you have, or gain, a bounty with, you'll respawn at that station and have to pay that bounty off if you're destroyed. Thus keeping your last dock at a station in Anarchy space is preferred.

Pirating requires the use of several specific modules to operate successfully. Being able to track down targets between systems requires the use of a [[Frame Shift Wake Scanner|Wake Scanner]]. Pirates must also be able to force targets out of supercruise with the use of a [[Frame Shift Drive Interdictor]]. Next, a pirate must be able to ascertain what kind, if any, cargo the ship is carrying, requiring the use of a [[Cargo Scanner|Cargo Scanner.]] Without a cargo scanner, a pirate has no way to tell whether a pilot is carrying anything of value, or telling the truth about the type and amount of cargo they are carrying. A pirate then has to be able to obtain the cargo, by force if necessary. This means directly [[Weapons|damaging]] the target's cargo hatch, or using [[Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller|Hatch Breaker Limpets]]. Lastly, a pirate must have [[Cargo Rack|Cargo Racks]] equipped to hold any looted cargo; [[Limpet Controller/Collector|Collector Limpets]] may be used to more efficiently pick up dumped cargo. Being able to effectively do these tasks means the difference between being successful and making a profit, or becoming broke.
