Clipper is an ideal pirate ship. Super fast, specialized for use of large limpet control, capacious cargo hold and heavy mass lock factor. On my rig I'm using four pack hound launchers and these can be very persuasive.
RandoCrypto the Cutter is probably the best pirate ship ever. The only problem I have is it often rams the other ship when dropping out of an interdiction. Even if I totally cut throttle. I once ran over and killed a shieldless asp instantly upon drop.

Very nice videos, thumbs up! I would also like to take the pirate route, can you please give me a tip where you can best find these ships with void opals, also have NpCs on board !?
I'm a little surprised one of those condas weren't more fiesty. I know they are mining built but you can still make one of those tough to turn and put a dent in your clipper
I think the reason they don't bother is you'll never kill a clipper with a conda, you aren't fast enough to catch it. The most you can do is drive it off, which is waste of time.

maybe one day if i ever get a gaming pc of my own i could do this same thing, but for now i’m forced to play on Xbox where there are barely any players to pirate
Mostly because the "pirates" on xbox have pushed all the miners and traders to solo/mobius. If they were honorable it wouldn't be such a big deal but all they care about is kills.
if they start to charge the FSD he can just shut their FSD down with weapons before the charge completed for a high-wake, And if they low-wake he can just interdict them again and immediately go to shooting them that time.
@@1BITfuerGamer ok, i ask because i already seen ships jumped from combat, sometimes even critical damged. And i dont understand, why didnt they do the same. To be clear, i only watched videos and i dont know much About game mechanics.
The amount of people who don't understand how to fly in open is astounding. Like that final asp who was just boosting away, not even using any defensive measures or trying to highwake away, with shields that can only take two hits from a frag cannon and no hull boosts. Yet these people then die to gankers and go cry on the forums about being killed...
@Josef Jackson You should see the Destiny 2 community. Somehow they're more whiny and unbearable than the elite community by quite a way, and complain about the most ridiculous shit, yet D2 is also the best and most well maintained game I play.
Why do most player pirates I see not do this - I'd be fine with this - but it's almost always interdict, I submit, they open fire - it doesn't take much to copy/paste a message :)
Christoffer indeed. That’s why I sent my message before interdiction so they know my intentions beforehand. People are less likely to run when they see I’m not just trying to send them to rebuy
You'll never see me (if you're even active) as I'm smart enough to play in solo and avoid you lot. That said, I respect what you do even if I don't particularly care for this style. I might even have to sub you...
Somebody has to be the bad guys I guess, theives are a part of life too, adds realism and risk. I'm way too stubborn though, I would have fought to the death in my tiny ship, and went out like a fart in space, but I'd still have my dignity, just not my void opals lol.
This is a playstyle and is not punishable other than ingame bounty and someone coming back for you but this is the reason why i dont go out to publics if i dont need to.
its true he is very polite and has honor... But it makes my blood boil when i get interdicted after a hard day of mining.. thank god for the cutter and its speed...
The mighty clipper returns. How do miners compare to traders when it comes to sharing loot. Always found traders to be very salty and very rarely enjoy donating. And why is there never any rum? o7
Getrekt Yeah Right actually the majority of them ignore comms and run forcing me to use a batch breaker. They are rolling the dice as many pirates have a policy of running = death.
@@cmdrthreeofnine1006 One thing that is nice is the high value of void opal you only need to use one hatch breaker and you have made some good money. Means you can use some fast and cheap ships which some people are less afraid of. The mass lock of large ships does get you more time to hatch break which someone said somewhere. Are you using drag effect on missiles to slow them down?
This is why I don't play in open while mining. I just want to make the small amount of money this game gives out after doing hours of work. I don't want to lose hours of my life because of some pirates who are too lazy to mine them themselves. There is nothing respectable or honorable about being a pirate. If I got mugged and the person didn't kill me, they still mugged me.
@@fluffiestmallard6484 , you should be grateful some people actually do proper piracy. Most people are just murderhobos that will kill anyone in sight. Piracy is a fun and challenging addition to open as it adds some proper player engagement, and only normally involves taking cargo rather than killing people. It's fun for the sake of the challenge and the roleplay, and nearly all PvP pirates only take a portion of your goods, not the whole lot. Mining is so profitable now that even if you actually find a pirate, you will still earn millions from what you have left. Plus, there's plenty of time to run away, and the chance to fight off the interdiction. If you really don't want to be interdicted, just learn how to evade them and run away from players. The real issue in open are griefers, but that's another story.
@@fluffiestmallard6484 Also, the game doesnt give out "[a] small amount of money after doing hours of work". When mining was first added, I earned about 700 million in a week of mining, making around 100 mil per hour, in a krait phantom.

Better to jump away
