One thing that’s for certain in the future of interstellar expansion, and that is the assurance that plucky pirates will take their Jolly Rogers out to the stars to follow the call of treasure and conquest. So don’t act surprised if you encounter one or two — or two hundred in Star Citizen.
In the latest episode of Around the Verse, Director of Community Engagement Ben Lesnick explained how players are dealing with buccaneers in the game: “With Star Citizen Alpha 2.6 we introduced a pretty exciting new game mode called Pirate Swarm.

Unlike our previous gauntlet mode, Vanduul Swarm, Pirate Swarm has a whole variety of different ships, ranging from the M50 interceptor to the Constellation multi-crew ship.”
