Bloodly -> All about Pirates. (4/14/2010 5:46:14 PM)

Everything we know over and above what the manual says, speculation, mechanics, etc, could go here-if you wanted, of course. Expect mostly speculation, due to being a new player. Manual states that Pirates can have more than their standard 1 or 2 ships 'if they've been successful raiding ships and stations'. This implies they are credited somehow for kills. I wonder if other pirates count? Pirates are very greedy(Secrets at 10,000 a time, protection, alliances). Where does that money go? Towards refitting their ships/buying new ships/researching tech? Is it possible to have pirates that are stronger than Empires? Lord knows it's seemed to happen a few times-pirates that seem to get ahead in the tech race-real hard to kill pirates who have twice your range. Maybe they've had success against other empires? If 'Pirate Cloning of your vessels' is true, what happens if they cloned a combat ship with a Colony part or Troop part? Could they invade/take a world? More to the point, WOULD they? And would they still be Pirates then?
