I wouldn't consider myself a pro but I'll try to help you nut it out. I personally think that the pirates are rather useful. Compared to the cost (both in ships and needed infrastructure) of invading, or raiding opponents they really are a good quality, if fickle ally. You can really p!ss off your opponent, soften up his frontier planets for a full scale invasion, or keep an ally on the defensive if you're feeling that sneaky. Just keep an eye on the bounty every 15 min
