Pirate Faction Ship Overview: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Pirate Faction Ships are expensive, high-performance ships built by pirate factions. Aside from the four main empire factions ([[Amarr Basic Ship_and Skill Overview|Amarr]], [[Caldari Basic Ship and Skill Overview|Caldari]], [[Gallente Basic Ship and Skill Overview|Gallente]], [[Minmatar Basic Ship and Skill Overview|Minmatar]]) and the mining faction [[Outer Ring Excavations|ORE]], there are seven pirate factions that have made their ships available to capsuleers. Pirate faction ships require two different racial ship command skills, and gain bonuses from both. Each faction has three available ships: one [[frigate]], one [[cruiser]], and one [[battleship]], and many pirate factions also have one or more capital ships. Pirate battleships are some of the strongest sub-capital ships in the game.

Several pirate corvettes were distributed as a promo at Pax East 2013. These were the Angel Cartel [[Echo]], the Blood Raider [[Hematos]], the Guristas [[Taipan]], the Sansha's Nation [[Immolator]], and the Serpentis [[Violator]].

'''Location:''' Venal (9 stations)

Guristas ships have highly resistant shields, and a unique way of using [[Drones]]: each ship can field only two drones of their appropriate size (light drones on the Worm, medium drones on the Gila, and heavy/sentry drones on the Rattlesnake and Loggerhead), but those drones are many times stronger than normal, so that their total strength is at least equal to five drones fielded by an ordinary ship. Guristas ships also feature powerful missile launchers, however their missiles are restricted to Kinetic and Thermal damage.

As capital ships do not normally use drones, Guristas capital ships (the Caiman and Komodo) also come with [[Fighters|Fighter]] tubes and increased fighter damage.

'''Location:''' Pure Blind (1 station)

The newest pirate faction ships, Mordu's Legion ships have bonuses to missile damage and [[Tackling|warp disruption]] range. Their missiles travel three times as fast as normal, but last half as long as normal, so their range is effectively increased by 50%, while mitigating the delayed-damage problem which normally plagues missile ships in PvP. Their extended-range warp disruptors then allow their ships to hold enemies on grid, while staying beyond their opponents' retaliation range. Accordingly, Legion ships are also fast and lightweight.

'''Location:''' Pure Blind (6 stations) and various locations throughout [[System security#High security|HiSec]] and [[System security#Low security|LowSec]] space (42 stations)

The one "pirate" faction not hostile to the four empires, Sisters of EVE ships have bonuses to armor and drones, and carry very large drone bays. Their ships also all feature bonuses to [[Probe scanning|scanner probes]] and [[Hacking]] modules. The Astero and the Stratios can fit [[Cloaking|Covert Ops Cloaking Device]]s (the only non-T2 ships able to do this), allowing them to warp cloaked. The Nestor has the mass of a battle''cruiser'', and a ship maintenance bay that allows nearby fleet members to refit their ships in space.
