'''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 are criminals so they make excursions to lawful [[Star system|systems]] while living in anarchy systems. Pirates earn [[combat]] ranks by attacking and destroying other ships.

You can fire [[Limpet Controller/Hatch Breaker|hatch-breaker limpets]] at un-shielded targets. These will open the [[Cargo Hatch|cargo hatch]] to extract [[Cargo Canister|cargo canisters]]. Alternatively, once the shields are off a pirate can manually shoot the cargo hatch to damage it and get the cargo. This method requires more skill.

=== Tips ===

* 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.

* Only visit high, medium, low security [[Star system|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 career.

* Most pirates play other careers as well. They just look for the opportunity of additional income and excitement.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/why-anyone-want-to-be-a-pirate-in-elite-universe.456085/ Frontier Forums: Why anyone want to be a pirate in Elite universe?]</ref>
