i hate the pirates, the system to me isn't quite realistic, i understand why it's there, but the AI fleets don't seem to fully understand there need to be destroyed, none of them, even my own AI fleets do not engage them as they should be doing. for me my defence minister should be going, pirates in sector G6 has attacked mining base is g765r, Send fleet to engage pirate base in G6 IMMEDIATELY. but in this game it doesn't happen, i turn piracy down to lowest setting, but it's not enough... too many pirates for my liking, the system is directly related to sensors, if there are dark spots in the universe, then there are pirates, and the resources pirates have seem endless... as much as i like to see some piracy, after all earth's oceans still have piracy even today's age, however it becomes too numerous and annoying, for me it gets out of hand, the bases just turn up out of know where.... with no reasoning to explain how they just spring up..... they must have very advance technology to be able to build bases without construction vessels. Piracy is annoying and takes too much of my time to deal with (as my AI fleet commander rarely does) The pirate system is needed, but i just don't like the system (execution).... I turn it off now. To answer your question, you can't really deal with it, every now and then you have to launch a pirate destruction campaign too clear them up (but like rats....they just keep coming back) and it pretty much stays that way until sensors are covering most of the universe. last option is bribe them, bribe them, and bribe them more.... Mafia anyone... look how that turned out. piracy keeps things interesting at the beginning of the game for many, if your a new player piracy keeps the action there so you don't get bored, but if you full in love with the game for it's other elements not just fighting, then turn piracy off.... be warned though, many players depend on piracy to keep the beginning of the game FUN, because without piracy then you risk starting in a part of the universe where you won't see battle for a long time due to a large distance from yourself to the next potential opponent. I wish the very low setting for piracy in game setup was even lower than it is now, i did ask for this else where in the forum, but still not noticed it yet.
