You do and you don't. There isn't a stat listed like for the other races (same with the Xenon) but they will get angry with you and go after you.

That's fine with me. I kill 'em anyway. ;)

It'll do until I can upgrade the graphics card.

Hi. Bel is right, there is no real rating for Pirates.

What I have noticed and am sure am not the only one, is that there is no consistancy to the Pirate Attacks. For example, when you atack a Pirate Convoy, Another Pirate Convoy won't then turn and attack you or your TS transport ships unless that is what they were going to do in the first place. I have never had a Pirate come and atack me, not in 2.1 anyway.

If your Chip Plant was the destination of the Pirate Ships, then it will more than likely be attacked.

If you attack an actual convoy, then yes they will turn and atack you. But you won't get what I would call a co-ordinated attack from a Pirate BBase.

Yeh tell me about it! Especially when you haven't got the funds for defences and or, it's in an unprotect sector. No M1/2 ships patroling it.

Just for a laugh I built a factory next to a birate base in one of the pirate sectors and put 9 laser towers around it and told them to defend the base from pirates shoot the pirate base then dock in your station and watch what happens if you are close enough your towers can occasionally hit the pirate base as well

so iam going to blow up the base in ore belt. its now red and they keep pestering me every 3 min. it seems that even if they are not hostile my laser towers keep stiring up the bees nest. nothing the hornet missles cant take care. p.s man a direct blast from one of their laser towers is deadly. :o
