Well my impression of "pirate" just got downgraded to "pimple faced teenager in a canoe with a rusty BB gun and a butter knife"

Rather like your average software pirate Very Happy

As I recall the start of pirate discussion, you aren't limited to your tech levels. You just pay more to buy higher-tech items.
They will unless the pirates keep the empires down - don't kill the goose that lays the germanium eggs, and all that. If you see a factory race, don't steal his G; an AR, don't steal his I; and the -f, hmm, just steal everything from him. Just like pirates themselves, those -f races.

Correct on both counts. Its something of a toss-up really...buy expensive gear at the start and raid a HW, or wait a few turns for the prices to drop(and they will, empires will be scrambling for certain techs ASAP) and risk finding HWs defended. Of course, given the dangerous nature of a pirates life, it's entirely possible that taking your starting cash to a planet that no empire wants and hiding nearby for the rest of the game will be a pirate winning strategy Rolling Eyes
