Pirates are attacking me

Everywhere i go, some pirates (rapiers, lightnings, defenders) jump in and attack. How do i make em go away?

------------------

If they're not there because of an active mission, it'll be because you've got cargo escorts. Get some fighters or warships as escorts to deal with them, or ditch the escorts.

thanks guys

on an unrelated side note, whats a good way to get a fleet of bulk freighters?
i can image 3k tons of goodness...

Head to one of the places where they are real common, I think syntax is one. Then go pick them of with lasers. A couple of seconds of all-out attacking should disable it, then board it and try to use it as an escort. Heh. 🙂

or cheat and buy one. But if your cheating, just buy a bunch of Cargo Pods. I once got so many I had 10,000 tons of space. Then I did one route a few times and had about 20 mil.

DE, I could not follow a single thing you said.

Another good system for pirate infestation (besides a pirate inhabited system, obviously) is Darven system. There are almost always pirates there, adn its really easy to boost your legal status in the surrounding areas while increasing you combat rating.

But there is almost always Confed or Rebel warships too. :mad:. So if you want to be sure you can destroy it yourself, you have to go to a Pirate or uninhabitated system.

------------------
I am eager to try to answer mission questions

If there are Confeds or Rebels there, just land then exit again.

Surely if you're cheating you may as well just give yourself 20 mil to start with? Either way you've ruined the fun of it, and the 'get money to start with' version is a lot quicker.
