[TC] Pirate bases - Where are they?

[the0s]

I found a pirate base in Priests pity, and started using it to make a KILLING (2k per unit) on weed since they were buying at full price. Great, finally some money!

The problem: I recently showed up and the paranid fleet was blowing up every station in the sector, including the pirate base. I sold and ran nearly exploding with the station.

I was hoping to find other pirate bases, but i only found one in an unknown sector, and the anarchy port, both of which offer only 'average' prices for the goods, even though the supply is zero.

Do pirate bases respawn? Do they move around (They look like capital ships after all). Why was this particular base offering such high prices vs the others?

Priests pity. They dump the worst priests there, the sermons are B O R I N G and they need as much weed and fuel as possible.

Pirate bases do respawn, but they do so in a random location. It's impossible to say where it went.
