The video chronicles a solo pirate’s daring attacks on a Corsair and a heavily loaded Hercules, showcasing stealth tactics, coordinated boarding operations, and intense combat to secure valuable cargo despite setbacks and bounty threats. Ultimately, the team’s persistence and teamwork enable them to evade capture, repel counterattacks, and successfully turn in their loot in Star Citizen’s piracy gameplay.
The video begins with a solo pirate launch from a Polaris and Mantis, staging between Ariel and Magda. The first target is a Corsair running a medium resource drive mission near HMS Lean. The pirate shadows the Corsair as it lifts off, then uses a Quantum Entanglement Drive (QED) to follow quietly out of the atmosphere. When the Corsair’s quantum drive fails to spool, the pirate breaks the ship just outside the moon’s atmosphere, causing it to crash and explode. However, upon returning to recover the cargo, the pirate finds the loot missing, prompting a tactical retreat to Everest Harbor.
Rejoining the crew, the pirate swaps to a Cutlass Blue and resumes scouting for targets. They soon identify another potential target at HDMS Lean, a heavily loaded Hercules with an escort Asgard. The team observes elevator problems on the Hercules, which appears fully stocked with valuable cargo. Deciding to engage silently, the team prepares to intercept, coordinating their approach and closing in on the target while avoiding detection. The tension builds as they position themselves for a strategic strike before the target can escape back into atmosphere.
The boarding operation begins with the team splitting up to cover different entry points—some taking the elevator, others the ladder. They maintain crossfire and communication, successfully neutralizing the target’s pilot and securing the interior. The pirates note the neatly separated cargo, indicating a well-organized haul worth the effort. Despite the presence of a bounty now on one of the pirates, they efficiently gather the cargo while preparing to evade any incoming bounty hunters, demonstrating coordinated teamwork and tactical awareness during the raid.
During the extraction, the pirate experiences a sudden repositioning to an unfamiliar mining post, followed by missile attacks and shield failures. Despite the chaotic retreat and loss of an agent, the pirate manages to escape using a Pisces ship. They then respawn in a different location, Cleser, and spend time farming NPC prisoners in tunnels to gain merits necessary for leaving captivity. This sequence highlights the risks and consequences of piracy in the game, including capture and the need for strategic recovery.
Meanwhile, back at the scene, the earlier target returns in an Eclipse ship and attempts to board the pirate’s prize with Maxlift tractor rifles. However, the boarding party is repelled with gunfire, and the pirates manage to salvage the remaining cargo using an Asgard ship. The video concludes with the successful turn-in of the loot at Everest Harbor, underscoring the persistence and teamwork required to overcome setbacks and secure valuable resources in Star Citizen’s piracy gameplay.
