[Suggestion] - Pirates stealing ships.

I was thinking about what it meant to be a pirate. And the pirates in this game don't really act so much like pirates as they do bounty hunters. So I was thinking, what if the pirates actually stole ships from your fleet? This would make the game much more interesting since pirate raids later into the game would include more than just tek ships.

I think we aut to have a community vote on this issue. Pirates cheat and steal, that's what they do. So why would pirates just fruitlessly go to a planet to shoot stuff until they die? They should cause more havoc!

rats! this would have been a great idea. Well maby moders can make it happen after the full relese

count on it, I plan on using anteachaire's "tractor beam" with the domination to make it pull the targeted ship close then use domination to simulate boarding

ps stay tuned here at the Distant Stars mod

More realistic would be (to me at least)when pirates are in a well they can steal all income and make all buildings inactive.Also you cant make ships or anything at said well.It would be cool too since they take that well hostage that you can pay them ransom to leave.

yeah I was experimenting with certain graphical tricks that did not pan out all that well, they have been removed for the next round plus some new abilities that will catch you off guard

@mindseye- in DS we use the Sova ability for the pirates for that trick

and they use it drasticly well. While playing DS I kept wondering why my income hit the floor while being attacked by pirates....then I captured some with the advent and looked at thier abilities....devioise...

yes and the powerful pirates are worse, though I had to nerf them somewhat
