Is it just me or are there never any other AI pirates types other than Balanced? I'm guessing the different playstyles (raider, smuggler, mercenary) are for the player only but it's a bit boring having the same pirate avatar picture for every pirate faction I encounter...

Huh? I have all four of them in my game. Though balanced seems to dominate a bit, taking up about half the total number of pirates.

I'm playing as an Ikkuro regular empire and I'm surrounded by 12 pirate factions all of which have the balanced pirate icon. A long list of gold and red heads in my diplomacy screen...

I know, it feels a bit like too many Agent Smiths. I now have a record count of 30 pirate factions, all with the same avatar and still no idea what's causing it.

Either that is a bug, or you are just really lucky to get the 0.1% change that out of 30 pirates, 30 are balanced.
I guess it is a bug.
