Since there seems to be alot of i hate pirates threads, instead of posting this in every thread i come across i'm creating this post as a one stop shop to allievate the pirate timers for those who don't like it.



First off you need to browse to your Sins of the Solar Empire/GameInfo folder. Next find the file called Gameplay.constants and make a back up copy then open in notepad and search for these lines

firstWarningTime 900 //this is used to determine the very first attack
normalWarningTime 720 //this is used to determine time between attacks after first
minSendRaidTime 30 //this is minimum time to send raid after warning timer
maxSendRaidTime 90 //this is the same as above except it's the maximum time

all values are in seconds. Hope this helps those of you that hate the pirates.
