SotSS is a 4x/RTS mod based on the Universe of Freelancer/Starlancer
In Freelancer the Bloodhound was a light fighter used by the Liberty Rogues and the Mollys... however it's scale was waaaay off and it was actually more the size of a heavy fighter (and a fairly big one too)
So in SotSS the Bloodhound IS a heavy fighter, but is often mistaken as a light fighter because of it's agility.
Why does the milky way look extremely close?
That's not the Milky Way. That band is The Barrier, a very long-stretching cloud of ice asteroids that divides Bretonia from the rest of the Sirius Sector.
Red_Novae is correct, that is the barrier nebula. It is massive and spans the Sirius sector north to south (when looking at the 2d map)

'The Barrier' is that large blue white line on the left side of the map =P
Now I want to play as Pirates.
By the way I propose that Wolfhound will be a super-uber juggernaut cutting trough anything smaller than a cruiser in mere seconds. Please?
The wolfhound is a VHF, better against freighters than cruisers.
Keep in mind, pirate ships aren't military grade. it will be good but not the best
