Pirates

from Sins Forums
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?

There in the screenshots folder... Umm in your Documents area of Windows...

Don't fear, pirates are being worked on and in a future patch should be more tame...

I agree, but I'm sure this has been beaten to death. In my game right now I've actually found a number of planets wiped out with a number of insurgent swarms sitting around it. Thankfully, when I encounter these its with my main battle fleet and I chew them up easily. Whats annoying is having to max out my defenses in every single planet because insurgents arrive every 5 minutes or so.

That "insurgent tech" is really proving to be the most valuable tech in the game given the number of pirates it seems to spawn. It provides the best bang for the buck by a mile to be sure.

agreed, hence it will need to be tweaked...

Or at least moved to the top of the food chain in the tech tree.
