Pirates hanging around.

They just won't leave.

I read about this in another post but it was dated a fews weeks maybe a month ago.

I was playing 3 Normal AI one of each race and me as a Vasari.

When i could finally offer Pirates missions i always sent Moderate or Stronger fleets.

The only enemy left was the other Vasari and he had laided lots of mines. of the 4 planets i could send scouts to all had Pirates fleets haning around with Vasari mines. All 4 planets where dead and totally without structures but the pirates would not leave.

So in short One AI Vasari top of map and me on bottom with a buffer zone of pirates in the middle where no one could clean them out.

Lock them down with subverters and lay your own mines! Then have the pirates hit the mines. Or if you are really good and can lock them down completely, just place the mines on top of the pirates.

I've found if you load your trade ships with wenches, rum, peg legs and eye patches that the pirate fleets will always go after them.  Might try researching those techs to distract them ;)
