What if you gave the pirates something such as an artifact or even a spare planet you own and they would ally with you for a set time?
You would be exempt from having to out bid the other players in such time. Maybe even help along with one of their raids? And your fleet becomes ONE for awhile. You could give direct orders to the pirates as if they were your ships?
ya, or share tech&research with them and give them cap ships by letting them build them in your orbital docks.
it would sort of turn them into a mercinary force, giving you that extra kick you need to cap the extra well defended planet.
What if one of the things you could do would either bribe them to attack a certain target, or find out where they are going. a la Sid Meiers pirates. You could watch them go into a system, and then follow them in while the target planet is under attack.
