Pirates in diplomacy

from Sins Forums

I've been playing diplomacy for a few hours since it was put up and am in a early midgame against a normal AI and was wondering about the pirates.  I was under the impression pirates would be seeing some significant alterations with the expansion pack, however all I've noticed is that they have bigger fleets. 

Are there plans to add updates to the pirates later in the beta, or is this more or less what we're going to get?

I have been going through the underlining code (aka the gameinfo file) the devs have planned some nasty tricks up their sleeves (one is the pirate version of domination, that is taking over the players frigates). Still, I am a bit curious of what else they are planning and what the new limit for the pirates attack fleets ( I mod the pirates for Distant Stars and would like to know for my personal use).

Haha, Ryat, dont give it all away.  :)  No meanness intended, its just we need to save some suprises!  :)

But by the way, that will probably be a killer going up against Pirates that can take your ships away from you. Oh my!!

its about time the pirates actually behave like pirates. they should be able to capture refineries, tade ports and trade ships too. so they are more pirate-like. AAAAAR mateys!!
