Lately I've found myself interested in pirates, and ran a few searches for open market pirate ships and shadowports and thought I'd share what I've found. While there are certainly plenty of open market ships perfect for space corsairs, I'm mostly linking the ones made with them in mind. If you have one you've subbed or a favorite I've missed, feel free to mention it.
