The pirates appearing on the coordinates, had got the less probability of having large ships. Due to this pirates on coordinates decreased in the "thickness" by 30%. Also pirates now have got new types of ships, including service units.
We want weak players to get more pirates.
The full list of possible pirate ships, as well as the probability of their appearance by types, was presented to the Privy Council.

The number of pirate bases on the coordinates has been reduced by 25%.
First, it was cut by 50%, but at the request of the acting balance editor it was added 25%, now total is 75 per hour instead of 100 per hour.

The number of pirate stations of the weak level has been cut 2 times, number of pirate stations of the average level has been cut 3 times and the number of pirate stations of top level has been cut 5 times.

The coefficient of the buyer's commission in the bestiary was reduced by 17%, from 1.5 to 1.25. So, the buyer's commission was reduced.

We will track the Black Market and if it does not start growing we will think about the complete cancellation of the additional commission of the buyer by the end of the summer.

ok u want more week players to get pirates thats all good but why then reduce the number of them would think you would keep the number the same or more just add 10% to the over all and make that 10% a low number of ships big players will skip them and go for the biger ones if u cut them the big player will go for them all so u should have made it like 110 per hour and just add 10 really week or low number of ships 

killfast, 

thats logic...doesn't apply here

I cleaned the browser cache but the buyer's comission is still 2 HC. It goes not lower. I tried also what others have posted: they have 1 HC buyer's comission, for same quantities it shows 2HC to me. Can tell me why? Thank you!
