When I'm pirating it doesn't matter as long as they have the cargo I'm looking for. BMM gold, Daumann diamonds & IMG niobium are usually my main targets.

When im pirating ill try to attack the ships that isnt allied with the guys i want to be enemy to. Or i just take the one with the cargo i want thats the smartest really.

whoever shoots at me, i shoot back at, sort of a problem when ive been allying myself with pirates and half of the universe hates me

That's not too bad. There's at least one criminal base in each system, or the system next door to the one you're in. But I didn't know that at the first time I was "evil" so I kinda flew around trying to find somewhere to land

a real pirate do mostly destroy the first transporter/freighter, if that one is empty the pirate will destroy the next... if u in a fight with some dif. transporters from div. houses/cooperations, take the best...

if ur a pirate, diamonds rn't good stuff to have, u must bring them to omicron gamma (tripoly shipyard)...

gold is better, criminals like gold better then diamonds.... and more crim bases will get gold... think about it...

i'm a pirate who can't land on tradelane bases, excpet the bases off zoners

For me it usually dosen't matter what kind of ships i attack. I attack EVERYTHING with equal vigor. The games just more amusing that way.
