Defeat Pirates

?

February 21, 2009 1:02:40 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Is there a way to actually defeat the pirates?

I've tried turning them off, but then what's the point of them being there to begin with, besides using them to level up your capital ships?

Pirates with a HIGH threat level are useful to distract your ennemy/ally you don't want anymore..

By doing this, attacked player won't attack you..

You clear their planet and colonise that base. Once you do that to all pirates bases in the game, they show up with cracked picture signalling defeat

high threat pirates dont really prevent a player from moving or attacking

i mean even an easy bot countered them with the vasari starbase and minimal planet defences it was actually pretty lame

if i were to say anything its that pirates are too weak right nao

You don't have to actually colonize their base, just blow it up.  so you can Novalith it twice and it's dead.  and you only need to do the one in your system (I think)

yeah the pirates cant attak you unless theres a base in your system

also pirate rades dont get any stronger even if you put multiple bases in one system ... which is kinda lame

I wonder what happens when you kill your one (in-system) and someone sends a pirate raid after you?  do they just sit in their star, or rove around their system?

they do not attack you as pirates do NOT have wormhole for distant jumping, so no pirates in local well with path to your planets = no attack

  I updated the pirates in 112 for my personal mod, they had no research, so that meant no capitals, even though they were listed. So i changed that, took the Tech research from the playertech.entity and copied it over to the playerpirate.entity and then doubled the strength size and weights for the pirates in the gameconstants.entity as well.

I put a derivative abilitydomination.entity in the abilities slots of the pirate ships, removing the 6th level requirement, called it abilitydomination2.entity so as to not change the original. Lowered the cooldown time to 0, though kept the cost at 150 antimatter, so as to not get too crazy. 

Anyway, now the Pirates have caps and full research which means star jumping and wormhole travel as well. 

And they can capture pretty quickly, though only frigates, though they are fast at that. Only caps can counter that now. 

Though, to be honest with the new 114 and Entrenchment Beta 3 i cant change any of the Beta 3 values at all. 

Myabe soon, though.

"kill one, save a thousand."

not a 100 thousand.  It'll only protect the system that that was in.
