Pirate Faction Ships are expensive, high-performance ships built by pirate factions. Aside from the four main empire factions ([[ | 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]]. | Several pirate corvettes were distributed as a promo at Pax East 2013.

No [[Blueprint | No [[Blueprints#Blueprint Originals|BPOs]] exist for pirate faction ships. All blueprints are 1-run [[Blueprints#Blueprint Copies|BPCs]]. Most blueprints have a small chance of dropping as loot in exploration combat sites belonging to that faction. For example, in [[Serpentis Narcotic Warehouses]] there is a chance to find a 1-run BPC for a [[Daredevil|Serpentis ship]]. | ||
The BPCs can also be obtained with [[Loyalty Points]] in a station belonging to that faction. However, most pirate factions own very few stations, and those few are often in [[nullsec]] space, making the act of earning and spending LP very difficult. | The BPCs can also be obtained with [[Loyalty Points]] in a station belonging to that faction.

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. | 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.

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. | 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.
