Gameplay[]
Beware, Captain! Pirates hunt in packs! And those packs come from inside the Pirate Viper Bay of a Pirate Carrier.
Outfit[]
Pirate Viper Bay in a Pirate Carrier
"Pirates know about violence, and the threat of violence. They also know about hounding individual ships in packs. However, they also value speed, and the Pirate Viper Bay launches them far faster than any other type of bay outside of Polaris Space, allowing them to swarm over their foes with frightening rapidity. So despite only being able to house a maximum of four Pirate Vipers, many pirates vessels have at least one. With one of these bays on board, you'll have a fast pack at your disposal at all times."
The most reliable supplier of Pirate Viper Bays is the shipyard of Olaf Greyshoulders on Viking, although they can also be found on Altia. Be aware, however, that Federation patrol vessels may take exception to your possession of these outfits.
All Pirate Carriers come with four Pirate Viper Bays and, therefore, can carry up to sixteen Pirate Vipers.
Pirate Viper and a Pirate Carrier
"As soon as Comara released the Viper frame on the general market, a few shiploads of frames were bought up by notorious pirate shipwright Olaf Greyshoulders. He and his crew have totally refitted the shell, and the familiar shape of its advanced armor plating hides a wealth of minor and major improvements to the basic idea. But, as with all Greyshoulders upgrades, there is a hefty price to pay for the improved model. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth it."
A maxxed out load of Pirate Vipers will set you back 3.2M.
