/* Behemoth */
The third transport ship is the [[Ships:Marauder|Marauder]], one of the best transport ships that retains agility. The standard Marauder is no better than the Centaur, except for its superior agility. Of course, there are other variants of the marauder that increases its cargo space up to 60. Most variants are outfitted with three small ports and no large ports, but there is a variant that is outfitted with one small port and one large port which was designed for mining. This variant is also the one with the most cargo of the marauder class transports. The Marauder can hold its own in battle when wielded by the right people, so be sure you aren't attacking a person who is known for their superior skill in fighting with a heavy ship.
===Behemoth===

The last transport ship is the appropriately named [[ships:Behemoth|Behemoth]]. This ship is indeed a huge transport, with space for 120 cargo it can barely fit into a dock. This transport class is an easy to hit target, but it has very thick armoring which can take large amounts of damage. The behemoth does not come with superior weapons than the centaur as all of its space has been dedicated to its massive cargo holds, thick armoring, and very powerful engines. In fact, its space for weapons is less than the Centaur, as it comes with two large ports. Destroying this ship without a partner has proven quite difficult, it's huge amounts of armor allows it to take considerable amounts of damage and the very efficient engines can be powered indefinitely by a Fast Charge Battery. It is possible to take out the Behemoth by yourself though, one tactic has proven fairly effective. This tactic uses a Warthog class attack ship, in the large port goes a jackhammer (or screamer) class rocket launcher and the small port has a Neutron MkII (preferably MkIII). You use the rocket launcher to knock the behemoth off course, it will need to drop out of turbo in order to readjust, and this is when you use your Neutron blaster to attack it, when it is about ready to turbo again fire another rocket, rinse and repeat until desired effect is obtained.
 
==Ships to Pirate With==
While we have covered what ships to beat up like a piñata, we have yet to cover which ships to beat them up with yet. You can pirate in any ship pretty much, as long as it has a weapon port, instead of going over every ship, we will go over the highlights of the ships.
