Hmm. Interesting ideas. On the IT/IS pirates: would they have a normal population, or just some starting ships plus trade/donations? What is to prevent them from being just like every other Stars! race? I.e., a normal territory-taking border-protecting would-be empire?

I don't like the idea of starting out the Pirates with a cruiser, but starting them off with Robber Baron tech would be great. Seems like it would make them too strong, though. Possibly a better idea would be to force everyone to take ARM. Then the POS Pick Pocket might actually be worth something! Might have to ban SS if we did that, though.

The 12/3/5 mines is probably a good idea as well. I like the idea of totally nomadic pirates - never making anything they can't take with them - but it's pretty hard to accomplish in Stars. I'll look into how that would work out. Maybe 9/2/5, which takes about the same RP. I mean, pirates do dig up buried treasure, right?

Also, I think SD races will be fine with just a ban on detonating standard mine fields. In fact, a SD race would probably be the best friend the Pirates could have! There has been the suggestion that other races are more dangerous to SS than IS in the early game and that's true. But the Pirates really thrive once (if) they get to the Robber Baron, and by that point IS could easily have the Tachyon Detector, which means everyone could have a TD, which kinda ruins everything.

Thanks again for your feedback and interest.
