Pirates On/Off Vs Tech Tree

March 14, 2012 8:07:31 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I researched in the Diplomacy tree the ability to use pirates as your personal strike force.  I disabled them in the game menu as I didn't want to test that aspect of the game yet, but whenever I asked the pirates to attack an enemy planet (and the right window was presented "attack/defend") nothing happened.  And I wonder if it is because pirates were disabled in the game menu???

Hang on, which research? The one that allows you to give them missions, or Pirate Mercenaries?

If the former, you have to open the pirate menu in the black market and click the offer mission button and go from there.

If the latter, they send you ships every now and then if you have available fleet capacity.

Yeah they just send a fleet of ships to one of your planets if you have available fleet capacity, the ships are fully under your control.
