Dealing with the Pirates...

[Deleted User]

Okily, these 2 questions may have been covered before, but I can't see any reference, so...
1.) How the heck do you stop pirates hating you? I destroyed a couple of pirate ships in a sector with thier station and the still hate me 10 hours later, even though I have left them alone (in that sector)... No problems with the other pirate stations.

2.) When you have taken control of thier ships, is there any way to upgrade the Engines and Cargo bays? I have tried sending them to various ship yards, but no joy so far! I Have 8 pirate freighters sitting at a ship yard, and I would love to upgrade them, as apposed to just selling them...

1) You don't.............they hate you just because.

2)You can't.........you can strip freight and equipment off of them, but no upgrading.

1. If a Ship/Station is red,you have no chance to make them friendly again.
In X2 you can IMO pay them a few credits,so that they forgive you.

2.you can only upgrade the speed & cargo of the Orinoko,Bayamon and Mandalay.
The freighters arent upgradeable.

if you blow up enouth of them and they respawn they wont hate you but you must have respawn on from the start.

Wipe them out..all of them.

Hey General wasn't Han a bit of a pirate?

2. you can't???? of course, you can! send them to a Trading Station and you can bring their cargo bay and speed to max. Sure, a pirate Lifter will never have a cargo bay capacity like the Argon Lifter, it will only be 750 units, if I remember that number correctly.

[Scarecrow]

No, you can't.

I've got ten of them setting in Plankton Farm Alpha in Split Fire and every one of them are already maxed on engines and cargo.

You can upgrade fighters but not freighters.

must admit I haven't played the original version in a while but Mike's EXE based on v2.1a does have this ability as hardly any of the PS you capture are maxed in any way.

[JadeNova]

I don't know what you are talking about guys but I have upgraded many of mine just fine.

Pirate TS ships have fixed cargo space and speed, even steering if I recall correctly. So no upgrading those.

Unless it's a mod that is '

[Rei Ayanami]

No,steering is upgradeable.
For more infos about the ships you can look @ Belgaraths Page in the ships-section
