Hello i have one suggestion i want to say the "no pirates" in maps in the 1.2 patch isnt totally accurate, it is an option in small and medium maps but not in large random maps and.. there should be a "no pirates" option in the map generator thing (not forge..the in game tool) because even if you remove the pirate base section from it. using the randomly generated planet thingy it will usually put a few in there.
thanks!

pirates are ok. but the farther you get along they start to become a real nussence
