you know the real pirates were not allies and there was a lot of them. blahablahblah
my idea is a new pirate race which is maade by fallen ships of hiaagaran, vaygr, bentusi, etc. but not stolen shps but destroyed ships like pirate fighter engine from vaygr asault craft and parts from hiaagaran fighter (guns, pilot place, etc.) mothership coud be from parts of carriers from the hiaagarran and vaygr race etc i can draw some pictures but 3D modeling is not for me better i like giving ships in the game and souch stuff... just ansawer to me yes or not if you say yes thats good but if you say no i'll understand you i know you have a lot of work so just ansawer

sorry for my bad english :D

Well, you can't mine it because it's an asteroid base. Meaning you must capture it in order to receive RU units from it. It makes it also more challenging playing against a human player, because they will try to capture the base too, destroy it or make it impossible or very hard for you to get it.

When I play either as Hiigaran or Vagyr my BC's ion cannon/trinity cannon seem to miss the Pirate's capital ships 90% of the time. I have no problem killing frigate or destroyer size Pirates ship but their BC's and production ships are giving me a hard time. I had to hyperspace in to kill them at point blank just to make sure i don't miss.

The artillery frigate's splash damage is too much. Their bombers can just swoop in and kill my cap ships unimpeded while my own strike fighters defending them just gets wipe out. I would suggest that you make the Pirates strike fighters vulnerable to their own splash damage to balance things out.

One last thing. It would be awesome if you incorporate some modifications from the unofficial 1.2 patch/mod into this one. This mod and your's are my two favs.

I've experienced a few minor gameplay issues for the pirates. I really like this mod and would like play it with no problems at all.

• The pirate battlestation goes completely invisible except for the modules.
• I was able to load in excess of 10 small craft into the Strength of Libertatia, I didnt test the Hammer.
• In a game where I captured an enemy Higaryn Shipyard, I was not able to use its build capabilities at all, and was only useable for combat.
• This one is a bit of a request, the spawn locations of all the various craft, frigates etc seem to spawn a long distance away from their 'parent' ship. In the case of the Mining Refinery I have to go to the sensor view to locate it. Could the spawn/creation locations be set to a third to half the distance of what they currently are?

Other than those few glitches ive come across while playing the mod, I think its great.
