So it would appear you have changed pirates.

No respawn for clearing every pirate in your map.
Less higher level pirates from 1k above.
Guess on this one 50% ish less resources from pirates.
If this is a way to make players leave then congrats you have nailed it.
It is hard to find resources already. Is this just a way you can make the alliances that spend lots of money on crystal happy.
I would take a serious look at your game plan cause as it stands you will end up with a couple of factions who will get bored.
Game over

I can see you have lost your main developer.
You cannot just ignore the post regarding the issues being posted.
Does nobody know the software enough to make sensible changes.
