In any games, i would think having a pirates is good for the following reason (note that i only play against AI) 1: Able to pay them to attack other players (i like playing TEC and so, i would have tonnes of gold to drown the pirates to attack someone). Good for keeping others busy 2: if you have a pirate base in the path and assuming that is the only path to your territory. You will see the AI not attempting to treapass the pirate base to you.

in forums, i guess it common to see ppl complaining on behalf of others....maybe its themselve all along...

Agreed with CoBBQ To add on, i like to put them at Stars as well (3 ~ 4) at places where they will gather to hyperspace to your planet. Useful if u have a single chokepoint. Otherwise, i supplement my SC with lots of mines......

Agreed. Though its disappointing to hear many ppl still dun know about this game (back home) Was showing them and were impressed by the game play Well done Stardock / IC PS: I liked the Fences program alot too, introduced to my friends and they all love it
