Description:
Since there is no information about in forum or webpage I decide to report as a bug. Amount of pirates spawned in the galaxy dropped significantly. There is barely anything wherever I look.

Actions required to repeat the problem:

there is no pirates withen 100 systems of my planets

Ok, let me be perfectly clear. There are pirates around but almost nothing above 1k points. It used to be swarming with them and you could choose ones with currently less aggression. Now it's just garbage around not worth fuel cost.

PIRATE RATES HAVE NOT IMPROVED IN THE SLIGHTEST DESPITE KILLING EVERY SINGLE LITTLE USELESS PIRATE IN THE AREA - ARE THESE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET EVERYONE TO GO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE ITS WORKING

by the fact that the wishes of the players are not respected, it will only lead to the disinterest of the players and the search for alternative games....what a shame about the wasted time

not only are there literally no pirates anymore.

They also forgot to boost the production for one day for the project's birthday.

Vasya is getting every day more greedy. ( see also for example higher price for experimentals )


It makes no sense anymore to invest money in this game.

Is it just me or rates has improved? I don't think points are back to what it was but at least today I see much more crap around.

While I don't hunt pirates, I vote for increasing pirate resources that players could take from the galaxy.... Nobody flies for unprofitable pirates... Also, pirates are part of the food chain (When there is no more grass and the land is only desert, then there will be no sheep for wolves to eat... and therefore there is hardly any life in the desert compared to areas rich in plants)...

kotek, the points don't matter.. they only tell you how many resources you used for research and construction in a sensible or senseless way..... the points do not say whether you are stronger or weaker or whether you can play sensibly and move fleet or not....

more interesting is the use of what you have built and researched, as well as the skills you have learned to handle your possessions.....
There are players who own a lot of different toys that they cannot use and are therefore pointless (space garbage) .. and there are players who have little possessions and have been able to specialize in such a way that they can play reasonably with them (unfortunately very few - because that game has become too hard due to the stupid unnecessary updates).....

For me I stoped hunting pirated 2 reasons:

1) same as in this topic not enought pirates any more and not suficient resourecs (size of pirat fleet) to cover the time invested and vespen cost.
2) since the reduction of FAS capacity (due to flret point increase), I have to spread my freet across all my planets so 1 planet does not hold enough to attack.
When i want to attack any thing pirat/player/inactive i need
> to consolidate my fleet (~2-4 hours)
> attack (not many good target close by so ususally even in the past took 30min-2h to attack a target
> collect the resources
> wait for fleet to retun after attack
> then send fleet home to each planet (2-3 hours)..
I can be online max 6 hours on a good day so the only thing i'm doing is wasting time waiting and vespen to regroup and send home and almost no time to attack ...

now > 6H online 90% waiting + wasting Vespene for almost 0 resources in return ...
Before > I would spend my vespen production on attacking pirates or some time inactive players...

so i stoped attacking and i'm now a farmer using cache and expedition to consentrate my own production and use it for reasearch or upgrading buildings so i can build more...
simcity insted of war game ...
