Look at the cargo window. Several resources (e.g. gold) have two entries. Clearly some of the rows relate to a different faction, but what does this actually mean? Does it relate to ships on their way to my planet (there are no ships at the planet at present). Furthermore, in this particular case, this is a pirate faction, and I will shoot dead any of their ships if they go anywhere near my planet.

I ran the game for a few months, and nothing's changed. The pirates, prudently, are staying clear of this colony.

Those items with the other flag are reserved by another empire, maybe a free trade agreement?. You also have a pirate facility on the planet, I advise to download some troops and go to the facilities tab, click on the stronghold then click attack.

Ooh, you can download troops? What's the website ;-)

Seriously though, yes, there are two pirate bases on that planet. Haven't got around to them yet as the planet is a recent acquisition. I wondered whether the pirate bases might have something to do with it.

I'm also seeing the same thing on other planets which don't have any pirate base. However, on the other planets, I do have a free trade agreement with the empires concerned. Perhaps that's it.

Thanks for the input,

Osito

Yes, you are correct. The reserved resources for other empires is not tied to the presence of a pirate base on 'your' colony.
