Pirates...can they move between systems?

April 18, 2008 12:01:04 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
So the title says it all....can pirates move between systems?

I made a custom map with 4 systems.  One system I loaded with pirate bases (6 of them).  Then I have one race per system for the other 3.

I have had the AI put bounties on me and apparently the pirate raids have left their bases numerous times to attack me....however I have yet to see any pirates in my system.  I have scouts around the suns of my enemy AI systems to monitor for this as well and they have neve seen pirates either.

I did some forum searching and looked over the first few pages of hits, but could not find any solid evidence stating that pirates CAN or CAN'T move between solar systems.

Nope, pirates can't travel between stars. Additionally, I believe even with multiple bases in the same system, there will be only one raid total, not one raid per base.

Thanks for the quick response! Awww that is a shame, oh well.

I guess it would be interesting to fly over there and see what happened to all these "pirate raids" that have apparently left their bases ;]

Actually, if you scuttle all the stuff in the raided planet, the pirates leave. Sometiems it can be cost-worthy to just let them take out your planet.

Generally, any surviving pirate raid returns to the base and stays there to reinforce the defenses. Assuming that since they couldn't get to you they never left their base, there should be quite a few of them there now

That sounds like a fun task for my 2 biggest fleets to go check into ;]

Well, in all fairness you need to research before you can do it.

I'm not sure about that, I played a map once that had two pirate bases and there seemed to be two raids launched after every "auction", one from each base. There were also two "cutlass" icons on the pirates screen, one for each target (no leftovers from previous auction). This was with version 1.00 though, maybe it's changed.
