Reverse mod idea - interest in a Pirate race?

from Sins Forums
Would you guys be interested in a mod that adds the Pirates as a playable race alongside the other three? I'd be willing to make it, but I figure if you're not it'd be a waste of time.

This would be pretty fun actually, a fourth race would make the 2 vs. 2 match up even better.

I do hope though that you'll make the pirates as unique as the other 3 races are. (as far as tech tree, cap ship special abilities etc..)

From what I've seen the majority of their ships are TEC with spikes added on, (They remind me a bit of the Reavers from Serenity)but their complete lack of capital ships leaves them woefully underpowered as far as a playable race goes; which is something I hope you'll fix if you do enable them. (seeing a few ships from each race would be kinda neat since they are pirates after all and get their ships from probably everywhere they raid)

Not interested in the least. It's like making the barbarians from Civilization a playable race. If you're looking for more factions, I'd just wait for the expansion...
