Status: offline 		So obviously you are supposed to make a living by pirating for booty since you won't get any income from taxes or colonies in general (appears you can't build arks, at all). There are a few problems with that:

- Fleet upkeep is very high right from the beginning. You only have a set number of turns before your economy tanks if you don't do something, quick.

- Your only source of income is booty and the odd lvl 1 mine

- You don't get enough income from booty because there aren't enough vulnerable targets to raid. A few tachyon scanners and mines are all you will get. Once you start attacking they stop building booty and concentrate on turrets. Once a colony has 15+ turrets you can forget about raiding it.

- You won't be able build research to tech up for better weapons due to the lack of income and, once again, high upkeep and cost of research buildings. That means you'll get outteched and raiding becomes impossible.

Probably part of that is simply my personality (I'm generally a "turtler" at heart), but also their racial advantages/bonuses seem to be outweighed by their disadvantages/penalties. Maybe they thrive on a certain type of map?

The Unn were given some love, but they still need some more.

In a game I was playing before SN, I managed to buy their Base Ships and "Raiders" and I was about to use them on one of their bases. It was kind of fun/ny. Haven't tried that on SN, but that aspect was improved.

Notice that in order to build any ark ship, you need at least 10 pop of your own race in the colony.

I found out they were the Unn Foundation who do settle bases, so it made sense after all.
