Interactions/Notes/Combos []
Interactions[]
- Targeting a sub with a Navigator on board: Once you have launched the pirate at an enemy sub there is no way to recall the pirate sub if the enemies navigator sub is redirected. Your pirate will continue to chase it's target until the target no longer exists. This can occur by you catching your target, your target being eliminated by another player, or if the navigator sub reaches an outpost. Once the target sub no longer exists your pirate will return to the nearest friendly outpost at 4x speed.
Combos[]
- Pirate + Navigator + Assassin a.k.a. "The Queen's Bounty" -- This is the ultimate Queen hunting combo. The Assassin is there to eliminate the Queen, regardless of combat outcome. If the Queen starts to run away to escape, the Navigator can change course to follow her. And finally, the Pirate can target the Queen's sub mid-flight, allowing very little chance of escape.
- Pirate + Navigator + Anything -- You can use the pirate to get you some extra speed and get you closer to an enemy node, then switch directions towards the node at the closest point. Saves time / surprises enemy.
Notes[]
- A Pirate attack specific targets, not targets on a specific vector, so it will ignore other subs which are directly between itself and it's target. This is a known bug where the pirate can hop over an approaching sub to attack another sub.
- If there are no friendly outposts after a successful combat, it will head to the closest outpost.
