The Player and Pirate Only Game

Just playing against pirates

In the pre-Rebellion Sins games I quite often liked to play against the pirates only (e.g. on huge maps) - with no enemy factions. The game allowed me to do so. The Beta Rebellion seems to demand that I have two faction players minimum in a game. Will the released version support choosing a game where I can play against the pirates only without having to have another enemy faction?

Probably not, you can make your own maps in galaxy forge. This way you can make the starting points "set" so the AI faction is just stuck on a homeworld and you can do as you please.

Already done. And it should be more interesting than on Diplomacy, even for a veteran player.

I used to think that playing only against AI and not human players was pretty pathetic, but this may be a new low!

It would be especially fun if you use a mod that makes the pirates attack more often and with more deadliness and with capital ships and with starbases and with huge defenses and with...  'ok, breath deep, ya got this'...  and with new abilities and with other crap.    

Whew!

Out of character much there?

People like singleplayer simple as that?

This is one thing that unpleasantly surprised me. Why would they remove that option?

No, Sanchazz is serious.  His head is so far up his a** he can't see.  His arrogant, condescending comments have reached new lows lately.  They are not helping MP.  Its "pretty pathetic".

I bet he can't even beat an Unfair AI.  Its been so long since he's played one that he doesn't even know what he is talking about.

Poor Dirty...since most of his posts are serious, he can't wantomly insult people with impunity like Qu4r, Star, or Mecha...

You either gotta go 100% troll, or people are just going to call you out for being a big meany...

Good idea, +1

Also, I'd like an ability to make peace with pirates so I can build my Empire freely until I'm ready to face them. I hate when I get attacked while building space trade outposts, because I have to build starship factoreis and turrets can't move (although there should be tech to move them freely. Devs, do it pls!).

Oh, and pls buff Kol Battleship. It's so big and masculine looking ship, I don't think it's Lasers do enough dmg!! I love KOL lololol

Yeah, this sucks, I used to be able to play with no pirates and no enemy factions.  It would just be me and the galaxy.  Also, I find that planet militia is too strong, specifically i am talking about the asteroid militia.  I can never seem to kill the 1 cobalt or 1 krosov.  I would just like to turn them off so I can colonize and only expand without losing ships.

Thanks,

A concerned player.

P.S. Yes the Kol is the best I don't know why they even put in 5 other capital ships.
