Pirates are mean, and in a Pre-Warp start, they can find derelict ships with advanced tech. You can find them too, but they get them with warpdrives(since they got the tech) and are mobile and scouting systems from the first day. If they find one or two of those, you are screwed. When pirates arrive, buy them off, wait a minute after they left the system, and then cancel it. You can do this a few times with each pirate, before they get the drift and refuse an agreement. Also, consider setting pirates to weak/few or deactivate them in a custom start game. (start game, the left bottom button) They are a little nasty as a beginner, and normal/normal is just too much in my opinion. They can spiral easily out of control in the first phases of the game, while falling off later, when you would have the tools to deal with them easily.
