Thank you both for the curtesy of answering what now appears to be a rather dumb question. From hence forth I will consider militia opportunities for levelling up ... a sort of "glass is half full" approach! :CONGRAT:
Very newbie. Sorry if posted before. Could not find answer under search for "no pirates." Just finished tutorials. Chose small map under single player which has "no pirates" random map in title and description. Sounded good to me as a first game while learning basics ... KISS. However, my opponent is in one of nearby planets already and the other two are occupied by pirates who have many ships I have not even researched yet. What am I not understanding about "no pirates"? <br/
