They are not invincible, however - sufficient firepower can and will kill them use hit-and-run, get coffee, subvert some sentries - use everything that can help you. Pirate troops themselves are well armed (their weapon is similar to the Riveter), have high HP, and are very dangerous even on their own - and each frigate sends 3 troopers. They re hesitating I don t see those Dragons of the Void bastards anywhere. was a horrible thing, but to some degree the greedy bastards deserved their fate. Their earnest defense caused the pirates to falter in their attacks. It is unknown if pirate troops still know the player's exact location without guidance from the now destabilized frigate. After a week or two of bliss, pirate ships started making port calls. Reaching the tether allows the player to release it, destabilizing the frigate - release all tethers to remove the jam effect and be allowed to leave, with all previously tethered frigates drifting around helplessly (they won't chase the player). is jammed the player cannot leave the vessel. Pirate troops then start to chase the player, being guided directly to their location by the frigate pilot/commander. and send pirate troops) and allows said troops to enter at its location. Once pirates are close to the vessel, they unleash a "tether" that both keeps the frigate stable near the vessel (where they jam S.T.E.V. If that happens, and if pirates aren't busted by a torpedo, the frigate starts following you (even through warp jumps and portals) and, on the next vessel you enter, they will follow you onboard.


Pirate ships appear and move randomly from right to left - bumping into one at a. Players can only encounter pirates on a vessel if they meet with pirate frigates on the starmap. As MadMikeForever has said, this is doable after you craft the ID card and descend to level 2 of the nebula. They seem to belong to the same biological race as the prisoners it's possible that all of them are clones, as they seem to have the same face (with the Captain being only exception, likely due to age) with the same eye being patched. Pirate pilots/commanders/lieutenants and the Captain seem to also wear some environmental suits, and all pirates also wear a classic pirate eyepatch over their left eye. Pirate troops wear some kind of hovering combat armor.
