Currently, pirates are quite limited in the game.
They are more of a nuisance that requires more micromanagement because you have to monitor the movement of your ships.
If it was possible to interact with them, pay for their protection, ask them to attack specific enemy objectives, ask them to harass a specific civilization, etc., it would be more interesting, I always deactivate them when I play.
For their privileged relationship with the pirates, I would rather see something like this:
They have access to additional pirate mercenaries at the Galactic Bazaar.
I don't know if it is possible, by modding, to add mercenaries in the Galactic Bazaar which are only available for certain civilizations (or according to prerequisites)?
It would be nice to be able to do it.
They also get other bonuses:
They receive a percentage on everything sold/bought at the Galactic Market.
They also get a reduction when they recruit mercenaries at the Galactic Bazaar.
For modding, I would also like to be able to decide if the technologies are tradeable and if they can be stolen as is the case in GalCiv2 with the tags "CanBeTraded" and "CanBeStolen".
