I forgot how much fun it is to play pirate in No Man's Sky. You can get all the upgrades you need for your freighter slowly by other means, but attacking other freighters is by far the most efficient and fun way to do it... though you have to accept that your reputation with whatever race you're attacking will go through the floor. You can just casually fly up to the cargo pods of a freighter and inspect their contents and if you like what you see, start attacking, which starts a full freighter battle where you can try and loot as many pods as you can, and destroy the freighter's defences, and ultimately the freighter itself (which is very satisfying ). Rinse and repeat a hundred times to fully upgrade your freighter (versus thousands of times probably if all you're doing is looting derelict and crashed freighters... fun activities in their own right as well, but nowhere near as good rewards).
I did the pirate dreadnought freighter battle the other day as well for the first time and that was also a lot of fun... basically a more involved version of normal freighter battles; you have to protect a civilian freighter that's being attacked by it, so you have to take out the guns attacking that, take out the engines so it can't warp away, and by flying through those Star Wars esque trenches, take out its shield generators, fuel rods, and defence turrets.
