Create a tier list for piracy ships!

Posted by Alex Sinclair in Elite Dangerous

Once more we're asking you to do the internet's favourite activity: ranking things. To win a prize, take a selection of ships and rank them from best to worst at piracy. We've made some changes to the first tier-list reward, so please read this carefully:

We're looking for image submissions only for this reward. Use Tier Maker or an equivalent service to make your tier list, and submit it as an image to this reward along with any explanatory text you feel might increase your chances of winning a prize. Moreover, we intend to combine all of your tier lists into a definitive master tier list, and so we want you to use five tiers only: S-Tier, A-Tier, B-Tier, C-Tier, and D-Tier. With S-Tier being excellent and D-Tier being unsuitable. It's not essential, but we'd also appreciate it if you included the names of the ships, rather than just the images.

So we can authenticate your post, be sure to connect your social media account before you enter, and share that social media post as your entry; see the 'format, rules, and guidance' section below for instructions.

Welcome to my very amateur take on ranking ships capable of piracy! Ships are ranked in their capacity to be quick (in & out), agile (slippery), hold cargo (room below deck), manage limpet controllers (the crew) and as a secondary measure, their ability to remain cold to slip in and out of black markets. The tiers are a reflection of a ship's overall ability to perform relative to other tiers and their ship size.

In the S tier, we see ships capable of quick getaways while also packing some impressive firepower. The slower ships in this tier may not be as quick but make up for it with extra cannons on deck. Ships here can hold a decent to generous amount of rum in the hold relative to their size and all are capable of sporting a crew of limpets.

In the A tier, these ships are capable pirate vessels but are outclassed by the above tier in speed, firepower, or cargo capacity. Still very decent pirate ships and would be proud to be stuck at sea with any of these!

In the B tier, some vessels are starting to suffer from larger shortcomings than the tier above. They could be an easy target due to their size or lack of agility. Or they might have the speed but lack the firepower to make that trade ship walk the plank. Capable ships in the hands of an experienced captain but there are better choices.

In the C tier, these ships will need to push the absolute limit to be sea-worthy pirates. They might be able to hold endless barrels of rum but would take forever to set sail. Or they're too highly specialised in other roles like sea combat and have no room for anything else. Not to mention, some of these ships run hot!

In the D tier, I'd rather be in Davy Jones' locker than be stuck inside any of these vessels. Too hot, too slow, no room for cargo, no room for limpets or ship crew! Or maybe, not enough cannons! You call yourself a pirate in any of these? You're a braver sailor than anyone I know!

S - Tier

These are, for me, the top ships for piracy. They combine what we need most: a good load capacity, firepower and good endurance. The Anaconda is surreal, no one can match it in combat. The Python is very versatile and I manage very well with it when there's a problem. I also like the Krait Mk II, it has excellent firepower and is very good at maneuvering. The Federal Corvette is very strong and very good for working in groups.

A - Tier

They're still excellent, but with a few disadvantages that have pushed them out of my top tier. The Imperial Clipper, for example, is very fast and its load capacity is excellent, but its low resistance leaves something to be desired, making it more vulnerable. But all the ones I've listed are still excellent choices and won't disappoint.

B - Tier

Here I think they are still very good ships, but they have some flaws that I already consider important. The Imperial Courier is a ship with good speed, but its load capacity is already low and it doesn't have such good firepower, it's still good but for me it's in the middle (almost going to C).

C - Tier

I considered ships that are more useful in certain situations. The Mamba is very good in combat, but it has a very small load capacity and little mobility, which makes it very limited, not so good for gathering.

D - Tier

I'll forget about these for piracy. I don't think it's worth using them because of the 3 important points I've already mentioned, which leave something to be desired. Like the Eagle, I think it's small, lacks adequate armament and is fragile.

S-Tier:

Federal Corvette: I think it's ideal for piracy, since it combines absurd firepower with good durability, so it ends up combining everything you need.

Python: I think it's well balanced, since it has a good load capacity and armaments, so it has great versatility.

A-Tier:

Krait Mk II: I think its combat power and surprising maneuverability is what makes this ship different. It doesn't make the S tier because of its capacity, which isn't bad, but just enough.

Cobra Mk III: The first of MANY haha, ideal for starting out in piracy, good, cheap and useful.

Anaconda: I'm not its biggest fan, but I recognize this colossus, what puts me off it is its complicated maneuverability, as well as its high cost. However, you'll see it a lot, especially in squadrons.

B-Tier:

Imperial Clipper: It's very pretty and fast, but it's limited to that, very fragile for its execution, so it ends up being very fragile.

Vulture: Here we already have a monster when it comes to combat, but it doesn't have a good payload, which ends up making the piracy experience very limited.

C-Tier:

Type-6 Transporter: Despite being cheap and having a good capacity, it is VERY vulnerable, you have to be very fearless to use it in pirate operations.

Type-7 Transporter: Surprisingly effective for fast looting and evasion, but limited in armaments and not ideal for confrontations. In short, it has the same problems as type-6

D-Tier:

Sidewinder: Almost useless for piracy, limited carrying capacity and very vulnerable.

Hauler: Insufficient armament and resistance, no chance in combat or piracy operations.

This is my ranking of piracy ships, I've built them all for that purpose in some time in my delinquency career on elite (in exception of the Cobra MK4) and the explaination for the ranks is like this:

Prime Privateer:
This ships are the best for any pirate, you have good firepower and plenty of diversity to install all the tools to get that loot that don't belong to you... yet, being well built this ships it'll make you a name in the blackmarkets of the galaxy.

Dread Buccaneer:
This ships are almost as good as the upper tier but all lacks in some way or another, some of them doesn't have enough room for cargo, others have too many hardpoints to allocate the tools for piracy and also hardpoints to defend the loot.

Rookie Rapscallion:
This ships looks like they will be very good at piracy only to flop in the heat of the heist, too many weapons and too small cargo like the previous ones but this ones could be of use in other pirates activities such as megaships cargo extractions.

Silly Scallywag:
This are the ships that usually get robed by the others tiers, they slow, dullish and easily get overrun for even the novice pirates, some silly pirates build their pirate ship in them to be disguised.

Boat Boys:
This ships are too small to be a good pirate, usually are the first ship that a pirate has and then forget when he gets enough loot to buy something better, the Federal Assaultship is here because of its limited internal modules. And the alien ship is here because I've never seen one of them smuggling to the blackmarket.

I very much enjoyed "rookie rapscallions" and "silly scallywags", both great names for pirate bands

these are the ships that I recommend for the pirate career at the beginning you always start with the Sidewinder but once you have made a lot of money you can aim for much better ships like the Viper or the Cobra. Python and cobra are the best choices for the pirate career

I recommend these ships because they are excellent for the quality/price ratio for those who want to do piracy in the game

The Sidewinder is the initial ship that the game gives you for free so at the beginning each player uses that one and it must be replaced as soon as you have enough money to be able to take a better ship, the Hauler is an intermediate ship that you can immediately take by spending credits, this offers a greater cargo than the Sidewinder as well as being able to mount better modules than the previous ship or the initial one.

When you have enough money to afford a Viper Mk 3 or a Cobra MK3 in that case it is worth taking the step, spending credits for one of the 2 aforementioned ships these allow you to mount better modules and are also ships with comfortable maneuverability, the problem arises if we wanted to focus on the Anaconda which costs much more than a Cobra MK3 but allows not only to install more modules and weapon modules but also to have better shields, taking into account that the ship is very bulky and maneuvering it is not easy.

once you have made a lot of credits in that case you can focus on the Python or the Cobra MK4 or 5 which in my opinion are the best for this career, excluding the Cobra MK5 which is a ship that has just come out so it can currently only be purchased with Arx, unless you spend real money you can't have the ship or you will have to wait until it is released for free in a few months.

these ships allow you to do piracy in a much easier way thanks also to the maneuverability of the ship especially the Python in which it is possible to install different modules and make the pirate career very fluid.

Tier list made very quickly based on intuition

An outlier:

Thargoid Interceptor - A tier: HEAR ME OUT. Half of the time you see a Thargoid interceptor in its natural habitat, you'll see it beaming cargo into itself from wreckages and ships. It also has a lightning attack to catch ships and slow it down, sometimes it's also equipped with hatch breakers as observed from war rescue operations. IF you could pilot it, it'd be S tier, but you can't.

https://twitter.com/CMDR_INKVI/status/1868597900173082808

Greetings pilots.

I've got a list like this:

Level S

Python Mk.2.

The Python Mk.2 is the most suitable for piracy, because its combat characteristics, if properly assembled, are on top, and its speed is not lacking, as well as internal modules. And the price for the modules and the ship itself is quite reasonable.

Level A

Anaconda

This ship has a sufficient number of modules and cells for armament, yes Anaconda is not very fast even with engineers, but thanks to the correct assembly of equipment it does not become a problem. But it is more expensive to equip than other ships.

Level B

Krait Mk.2.

A good ship that can also be used for piracy, but alas it has less weapon cells than the ships above, but for a beginner I can recommend it.

Level C

Cobra MkIII

The most suitable for a beginner pirate who does not have enough money to buy ships, but has a desire to join the team.

Level D

Sidewinder.

Just because it's a starter ship doesn't say much about its capabilities, because even a pilot on the Anaconda won't stop it.

And no kidding, you can start pirating on anything you want even on Sidewinder.

CMDR Henckes 12/16/2024, 2:10:47 AM

For me a pirate ship must have a great balance between attack and storage size, that's why you see powerful ships like Federal Corvette and Python Mk II in the C list since they doesn't have a so much slot to create defence and space to hold cargo .

S-Tier - Withe the Cutter maybe being the perfect ship for piracy because of her number of optional slots, that will be able to hold lot of cargo and will have space to put some shields banks or hull reinforcement and of course a Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller to stolen the other ships cargo, and the same works for the Fer-de-Lance and Krait MkII. The FDL being perfect for PVP piracy and the Krait for PVE,

A-Tier - The Anaconda is also great for piracy but the Cutter outstanding almost every aspect in the piracy task. And the same applies for the medium ships

B-Tier - Still good ships , and maybe it will be for the Cobra Mk V, since the internal were released and we can have a nice ideal of what it is capable of. Those ships can handle it well, have decent profit but aren't the best of it, and maybe it will be better in PVE as well.

C-Tier - The ships here will demand you a lot of effort to make some profit here since it will be able to kill your enemies or be fast enough to steal their cargo but you will run out of cargo space soon and you have to do a lot of jumps to steal a few goods and then go to a black market to sell them.

D-Tier - Here the ships or doesn't have enough attack power like the type-7 or has a bad cargo like the Eagles. So you won't be using those ships for piracy, just if you hate yourself and want to make your life harder hahaha!

https://twitter.com/VivisectorITA/status/1867686333117816848

this is my Tierlist for the pirate career, the starting ship they give you and the sidewinder, excellent for starting your pirate career, also because they always give it to you for free, later when they have enough money to be able to afford better ships I would throw it away that ship to get a better one like the Viper Mk3 which offers good damage even if it is a little limited, once you have obtained large sums of credits focus on large ships like the Anaconda or the Cobra, excellent and also the Python or the MK4 cobra which, if enhanced and engineered, pulverize anything.

XCezor 11/30/2024, 7:29:36 PM

Here's my list of pirate ships that I think would suit well as I'm not doing piracy often, but I know how capable for combat are those ships:

https://twitter.com/XCezorr/status/1862933647247986835

S tier - Newest Python Mk.2. It has great firepower, it is a middle ship purely made for combat. It has great armour and maneuverability.

A tier - Vulture and Fer-de-Lance. Vulture is a great small ship, with great armour and always is my least favourite target because of the great amount of utility slots. Fer-de-Lance is a good medium ship and one of the most popular options, but new Python is just way better in my opinion.

B tier - Mamba is considered a good medium ship but when I was testing it, it wasn't suiting my playstale. But it's still a fun ship to fly.

C tier - I love Krait Mk.2 as a multi-role ship but there are better ships for piracy that I've already described. But if you're looking for a good ship that can handle every task, Krait is for you.

D tier - Imperial Courier is just too soft for me even it's considered a combat ship but it has decent firepower. Use it when you know what you are doing.

The reason why I haven't put large ships here is that interdicting NPC may be easy, but if you aim to interdict a real player, it may be very difficult task for you so I just prefer to stay with medium ships.

https://twitter.com/ntcdat/status/1862924663124300148

A tier-list for piracy:

I qualify these ships not only because of its firepower potential, but also the capability to carry cargo (that's why we're pirating aye?), being able to escape, and being able to sneak around stations to sell your stolen goods.

Tier S: Krait Mk II, Python

Decent firepower and power capacity, and a generous amount of optionals, both the Krait Mk II and Python excel at the job because of their versatility. The Krait also excels on pvp, if you have any human cmdrs chasing you. The only cons is that they might be not as fast as some other medium ships, but a cmdr with decent skill can make up to it.

Tier A: Krait Phantom, Chieftain, Federal Assault Ship

These are faster ships, with less fire power but still very reliable. The Krait Phantom also has plenty amount of optionals, and its long jump range can be helpful if you want to high wake to escape some tails, as you'll always outjump a combat ship. The Chieftain and the FAS are both very fast, making up to their lesser hardpoints and optional modules.

Honorable mentions in this tier including the other Alliance/Fed ships, and the Imperial Clipper, though I'm not really a fan of its hardpoints.

Tier B: Federal Corvette, Anaconda

Big and powerful, feel like you're like those pirate lords who pull over on a big ship full of guns. And of course, you'll have more than enough space for your goods, and maybe captured hostages as well!

Tier C: Vulture

Not a really good choice actually if your priority is cargo, but if you're just killing for fun, it's a murder machine when it comes to small ships.

Tier D: Diamondback Explorer, Cobra Mk III

At this point these are just really experimental, as you won't do much on them. The only reason I wanted to include the DBX is because it's a pretty cold ship, you might as well smuggle your goods to the station. The Cobra Mk III is just a very versatile ship of its size.

Fly Dangerously (literally) cmdrs o7

Piracy Ships!!!!

https://twitter.com/MaquinaMQC/status/1862624184653787216

S Tier

Anaconda

Firepower and module capacity make up for its slow speed and manoeuvrability. If you can afford to buy it, equip it and cover its insurance, it's a winning bet.

A Tier

Cobra Mk III

To say Cobra is to say pirate... Small, agile, economical... ideal for those who are on the other side of the law and don't care about the health of the ships; neither those of others, nor their own.

B Tier

Python

Probably the most balanced ship on the list; medium size, with good cargo capacity, armament, defence, modules. To be taken into account when facing larger ships.

C Tier

Vulture

While an excellent ship for combat thanks to its great ability to do damage, and take damage, its weakest point is its low cargo capacity.

D Tier

Sidewinder

Our wonderful and beloved starter ship, multirole, capable of anything, but with very limited capabilities for piracy... but it has to be on this list.

Dydo 11/29/2024, 9:18:19 PM

I tried to consider every ship in the game, so I’ll focus more on explaining the tiers themselves rather than detailing each individual ship.

S-tier ships offer excellent maneuverability and combat power, along with decent cargo capacity, making them ideal for piracy. These ships excel at the "hit, loot, and run" strategy. The Thargoid Interceptor makes the list because, honestly, who wouldn’t want to become a Witch-Space pirate?!

A-tier ships follow the same principles as S-tier but have slightly less potential in one or more criteria. Still, with the right fit and skilled piloting, they can make S-tier piracy vessels.

B-tier ships include the Sidewinder for its incredibly low cost, which makes it perfect for a kamikaze-style piracy approach - just for the sheer fun of it. The other ships in this tier are solid for core piracy activities, like pursuiting and boarding targets with rapid gunfire and disabling them.

C-tier ships can be used for piracy but come with significant drawbacks, such as poor maneuverability, limited cargo capacity, and/or weaker combat capabilities.

D-tier ships are generally unsuited for piracy. While creativity can make any ship viable for this playstyle, these would require a more eccentric approach to succeed. Even so, with enough ingenuity and skill, they might outperform higher-tiered ships in specific situations.

These tiers don’t necessarily reflect profitability or efficiency, as those depend heavily on your skills and a bit of luck. However, one might find them helpful as a general classification of all the ships.

Hello Commanders

Today I am going to show a list of ships suitable for piracy based on firepower, load capacity, maneuverability and resistance.

S- Python MK2: It is the most balanced ship for this task. It has the perfect balance between firepower, maneuverability, load capacity and resistance

A- Federal Corvette: It is a ship with incredible firepower, excellent resistance and good defensive capacity. The maneuverability with engineers is quite acceptable. Ideal for piracy

B- Anaconda: It is the sister of the Federal Corvette. It has a great load capacity, excellent firepower and very good resistance. Like the Federal Corvette, the maneuverability with engineers is quite acceptable.

C- Imperial Cutter: It is a ship with a great load capacity and firepower. It is the ship that can be given the largest shield and that makes it extremely resistant to any attack. In addition, it is a very fast ship in a straight line and that means that you can easily escape from any attack. But the bad thing is that it has maneuverability. It has a lot of inertia. It's very hard to stop it.

D- Type-9 Heavy: It's a ship that's only good thing about it is its cargo capacity. The rest makes it unsuitable for piracy tasks. Horrible maneuverability. Horrible endurance. And bad firepower.

Piracy Tier List :

Tier S : Federal Corvette

As a high-end option, the Federal Corvette is a fortress in combat, capable of overwhelming even heavily armed targets. While it has limited cargo capacity compared to the Python or Clipper, its sheer firepower ensures a successful takedown. Best suited for high-risk piracy .

Tier A : Imperial Clipper

The Clipper is fast and stylish, with ample ( huge ) cargo capacity, its big thrusters will catch all your targets who wants to jump a way. but it is expansive in credits and time to get . but one when you get one you will never go back.

Tier B : Python

The Python is a heavyweight multi-role ship, boasting a balance of durability, firepower, and cargo space. Its 3 large and 2 medium hardpoints make it a solid DPS. but this ship is slow compared to previous ones, you feel like a tank in space and make it hard to escape in PVP situations .

Tier C : Krait Mk II

Why ? The Krait Mk II is a Multi-role ship at both cargo and collection, yes It is more powerful in PVP Piracy but also in PVE Piracy, the SCO capabilities makes it to tier c, with this module you can travel to different points of interest fast, no one will run away !

Tier D : Cobra Mk III

I chose this ship as a tier S because it is a versatile and budget-friendly entry-level pirate ship, and with modifications and engineering, this little devil can hit hard. this ship a live example of unbalanced ship power in Elite .

My Piracy Tier Ship

https://twitter.com/Tech_Gaming_it/status/1861734303924629841

these are the ships that I prefer to use for the pirate career, the Sidewinder is the initial and free ship so you start with that and accumulate the first credits and then change ships and move on to a more powerful one.

the Python is an exceptional ship, even if it has a high cost, it allows you to face enemy ships without fear thanks to its high damage that you can make it do with its upgraded modules and also easy to pilot.

Solaris104 11/26/2024, 5:51:17 PM

this is my list.

https://twitter.com/DiegoT199208/status/1861461864657387694

These are ships that can be obtained at a low price and are more than good for starting out, once you have collected a good amount of money you could think about upgrading the ship with a better one of a higher grade for example a Viper Mark 3 which if improved in combat does not disappoint and is also easy to fly since it is not a very large ship. then there are ships with a more expensive cost but a little more difficult to improve if you are just starting out until you reach truly top ships like the Viper Mark 4 or the Python ships capable of destroying anything in a short time but which require a large investment in terms of credits, obviously these are personal tastes personally I prefer the Viper Mark 3 more, it costs little even if limited it still allows you to make a good impression, obviously properly improved.

NOTE : I don't know why when I share the post I get an enlarged image, I hope it's not a problem.

AndyRice 11/26/2024, 1:53:44 PM

Let’s first review the whole process of piracy activity. You find your target, pull them out of supercruise, paralyze them, break their hatch, survive while collecting your loot, and then make your escape.

Based on this process, the following key features are essential:

1. Agility: You need to be agile enough to catch your target and prevent their escape.

2. Survivability: While most cargo ships are unarmed, you still need decent survivability to withstand counterattacks.

3. Versatility: Various modules are required for the piracy process, such as a limpet controller, FSD interdictor, cargo rack, etc., which demand sufficient optional slots.

4. Combat Ability: Though destroying your target is not necessary, you need enough firepower to paralyze them and break their hatch.

Considering these features, the answer becomes clear: military-grade multi-role ships are most suitable for piracy. Below is my ranking, listing only the ships I’ve used. Since I’m not a fan of Imperial ships or large ships, they are not included in this list.

S Tier: Python

The Python is arguably one of the best medium-sized multi-role ships. It offers excellent firepower, sufficient optional slots, and robust survivability. You can easily achieve a cargo capacity of 128 tons while still having enough slots to install all necessary modules.

A Tier: Krait Mk II

The Krait Mk II is another excellent medium-sized multi-role ship. However, compared to the Python, it has slightly weaker survivability. Still, with proper modifications, it can withstand heavy damage and complete piracy tasks effectively.

B Tier: Alliance Challenger

Originally designed as a combat ship, the Alliance Challenger can also function as a capable pirate vessel. It has good firepower and survivability but lacks large optional slots, which might force you to downgrade your limpet controllers.

C Tier: Federal Dropship

As mentioned in a previous discussion, the FDS is an underrated, budget-friendly multi-role ship. Its military-grade design ensures durability in prolonged engagements. Additionally, its four medium-sized hardpoints can fit FSD disruptor missiles perfectly. However, it lacks sufficient optional slots, which limits its cargo capacity.

D Tier: Keelback

This entry-level armed cargo ship can be converted into a pirate ship, making it suitable for light piracy activities. However, if you have the funds, I highly recommend moving up to higher-tier ships for a more effective piracy experience.

These ships are the epitome of piracy (the best ships in my opinion) with just the right balance of firepower:

Federal Corvette

Description: A combat powerhouse that can withstand heavy fire while immobilizing high-value prey. A stellar choice for pirates who excel in fleet combat.

Python

Description: A solid cargo capacity and weapon attachment points. To pirate successfully, you need it to be able to operate in the middle of seconds.

A Tier

Great pirate ships, although they may fall short in one or two areas.

Krait Mk II

Description: Well suited for single-handedly shooting pirates, has great combat and can change direction in a heartbeat. Its cargo is sufficient for locks, but not as good as S Tier ships.

Cobra Mk III

Description: A favorite. Cheap, fast and versatile, it is well suited for novice pirates. If it has to run, it will do so quickly.

Anaconda

Description: A combat ship capable of being a heavy tanker. Its high price and unhurried handling, however, make it more suited to commanding large pirate ventures. (My favorite ship)

Tier B

Good options for less experienced pirates or those on a budget.

Imperial Clipper

Description: Sporty and fast, with reasonable cargo space. But its combat restriction also makes it a more vulnerable force in tough fights.

type-7 transporter

Description: Surprisingly useful when it comes to running in for loot and running out with said loot. That said, it only offers two options in terms of armament, so it's really more intended for confrontations with unarmed enemies than for battle.

Tier C

Specialized Role Pirates who play a single role in piracy, but are generally less effective pirates overall.

Vulture

Description: Good in combat, but suffers from limited cargo space, so can only carry minimal loot.

Type-6 transporter

Description: Cheap and with good cargo capacity, but very vulnerable.

Tier D

Ships that have nothing to do with piracy deeply compromised.

Sidewinder

Description: Low-tier ship with no real ability to survive an encounter with a real attack or the ability to carry large amounts of loot. Good only for getting an introduction to the basics.

Hauler

Description: A small, weak ship with weak armament. No chance of surviving combat with pirates.
