Joining a group is the way to go. For real piracy, go for cargo piracy in freighters, as Vlko suggests. 2 or 3 will be able to take on any transport, you'll have a way better chance against fighters and bombers (just ask Bowex) and you get a cruise speed of 400 so no escape for those nasty transports that manage to give you the slip the first time around.
