Downloaded Beta 2 yesterday, and so far, I'm loving this game. However, there is one thing thats bothering me. Pirates,way too many pirates. From the insurgency spawns, to the maruaders, and the random 100+ pirate stack I found earlier(100 or so pirates hovering around an asteroid planet that I cleared out), I think there needs to be far fewer pirates. Seriously, in most games, I end up fighting 4x as many pirates as I do ships from rival empires. Well, thats the only thing about this game that really gets to me, anyone else a bit annoyed by them as well?

Also, how do you view the screenshots you've taken?
