There are many ships in the world of Vendetta, some . Some are multi -purposed, some made for fighting, and some made to transport cargo. The ships you want to pirate are, of course, the transport classes. There are several transport ships out there and aspects of them that need to be put into consideration when pirating. But beware because , when a transport vessel has at least one large port, there is a the possibility of a gattling gatling turret or mines that needs to be consideredtaken into consideration. There are several types of mines out there that can, and most likely will come your way eventually, better to learn about them here before you learn it while in pursuit.*A proximity mine is your basic mine, it . It will sit in space happily until its short range sensors detect something, once its sensors detect a ship at which point it will detonate itself, causing your ship damage and to be pushed off course. The range of its sensors is quite short, about 80 meters.

*A lightning mine is very dangerous and can kill ships who decide to hang around it. The lightning mine is equipped with a large battery and much more sophisticated sensors than the other mines. The sensors are able to determine wether or not ships within range are hostile. The lightning mine utilizes a weapon that causes pure energy to arch from itself to an enemy ship which causes 1000 damage per second and will keep firing until the ship is not within range, the mine is destroyed, or the mine's energy is depleted and self-destructs. So, anywho, onto The lightning mine is somewhat easier to spot than proximity and concussion mines due to the prey!electrical arcs that surround it.

First, we have the [[Ships:Atlas|Atlas]], this is the first transport class ship that players get access to. The main variant can contain 32 cargo and other variants can hold up to 38. The atlas is outfitted with one small weapon port and one large weapon port. There really is not much to say about the Atlas except that it is a low level trading vessel and fairly easy prey, there are much better bigger space fish in the universeto fry..

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 Marauder that increases increase its cargo space up to 60. Most variants are outfitted with three small ports and no large ports, but there is a one variant , the [[Tunguska]] Mineral Marauder, that is outfitted with one small port and one large port which was is designed for mining. This variant is also the one with the most largest cargo capacity of the marauder 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.

The last transport ship is the appropriately named [[ships:Behemoth|Behemoth]]. This ship is indeed a huge transport, ; with space for 120 cargo units, it can barely fit into a dock. This transport class is an easy -to -hit target, but it has a very thick armoring hull which can take large amounts of damage. The behemoth Behemoth does not come with superior weapons than the centaur capacity, as all of its space has been dedicated to its massive cargo holds, thick armoringarmor, and very powerful engines. In fact, its space capacity for weapons weaponry is less lower than the Centaur, as it comes with two large ports. Destroying this ship without a partner has proven quite difficult, it's as its huge amounts of armor allows it to take considerable amounts of damage and the while its very efficient engines can be powered indefinitely by a Fast Charge Batteryas it reaches top speed and flees the sector. 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 Behemoth off course, it . 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 . When it is about ready to turbo again , fire another rocket, rinse and repeat until desired effect is obtained.

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 . Instead of going over every ship, we will go over the highlights of the ships.

The [[ships:vulture|Vulture ]] is one of the most popular fighter class ships used, with its thin design it makes for a very good dodger. There are many variants that are far superior than the basic one. Most notable of the variants is the [[Template:Factions:Corvus|Corvus]] Vulturius, this ship is one of the fastest fighters when in turbo, up to 240m/s. The Vulturius makes a great ship for chasing down ships that are running, of course this high speed comes at a cost, while in turbo the Vulturius will deplete the battery very quickly. All variants of the Vulture comes equipped with two small weapon ports, which is usually equipped with Neutron or Gauss cannons, depending on whether you want quantity over accuracy, or accuracy over quantity.

Surprise! The Behemoth is good for pirating, when . When hunting down a Behemoth , having a partner along, in a Behemoth, is quite useful. He can add support fire, and when the enemy Behemoth explodes, he can pick up all the cargo and split the profit.
