Pirating using Stealth-based Scanners

More about Scanning

Playing Stars!

You need the Super Stealth primary race trait and a fleet with the Pick Pocket or Robber Baron scanner to steal cargo from an opponent's hold. Just set the opponent's fleet as a waypoint, and set the Transport order, to Load the amount you want to heist. The theft will automatically take place as soon as your pirate fleet reaches its victim.

You can steal only cargo, not colonists.
