Can we get an even higher setting, like Rampant? Pirates really keep you on your toes early game and add an sense of urgency from getting beyond using a tiny ship so you cant just be invaded without shots being fired. Perhaps on the higher setting put an occasional pirate military star base (upgraded with age of war support modules and weapons) with 2-4 shipyards around it. I want pirates to not just be a threat but a real danger to my civilization if I want them to be. Also I love that they target weak ships since it really makes you protect your sensor pod if you use one as well as your sensor ship once its taken some damage but can they be programmed to attack unguarded shipyards as well?
