Take a look at the PlayerPirate.entity after the planetmodules in the GameInfo folder. I would copy this of course from the reference folders into your mod folder just to be safe. But look there. Also you can look in the Gameplay.constants file there is information on how often the pirates raid and i believe their ship breakout.

Actually, if you want to add ships and defenses to the pirate base grav well, you'll have to edit their template in GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef file:

 

planetItemsTemplate
    templateName "Template:PirateBase"
    subTemplates 0
    groups 1
        group
            condition
