I hadn't play as a pirate since Shadow was released, so it had been a while. I just started playing one again recently and just couldn't seem to gain control over some planets. Normally, once I have ships over a planet, I start to gain control. Is there a restriction on what plannets I can and cannot control? The planet in question is a home world on a moon. I build a spaceport on the gas giant that it orbits, and keep constant present in the system. I started out with 23% control over the planet when I first discovered it. Then it went away at some point, and I could never get it back. I now surround the planet with 2 spaceports (a large one on the gas giant with 150K firepower, a medium one on its sister moon with 5K firepower), a couple mining stations, and a fleet. I have resort bases and more mining stations and more small spaceports in the system as well. Basically I control the whole system except for this one planet. I would have some ridiculous protection agreement with them. They build up ships and infrastructures. I helped them out with all sorts of incursions. After a while, they would break the agreement, got all their infrastuctures shot to pieces and raided. What else do I need to do to gain control of the planet? There is no pirate facilities on it, and they despised me (-2200 or so), for good reasons. For comparision, when I send my fleets to raid some other planets, I do get control over them. Maybe someone here can shed some lights on when you can / can not control a planet.
