So I was thinking: when you invade a pirate lair, the ground battle animation displays the battle the same way when you would be invading a normal system.

It's odd in my opinion that you have this fancy asteroid-like station and suddenly all the pirate forces go planetside and begin to fight there.

I would propose that you would have an unique visuals when assaulting the pirate lair. Nothing overly fancy, just something that differs from the regular ground invasions.

You could even go further and add additional ground battle tactics for assaulting the lair.

I like the idea.

I totally agree, a different animation should be used (even if its just a color swap and a background re-design.)

Can you think of other instances when the new tactics you suggest would be used? It's a bit of a limited situation to add a new mechanic, y'know?

That is true! Maybe you could establish your own pirate lairs with the privateers you hire. Then the mechanic would be a bit more relevant.

I have it,

Back when the game was still in development, the idea of having a system where ships could be boarded and taken over was tossed around.

Bring back this system, (which would be awesome) and suddenly the alternate animation for ground battles would have more use and these alternate tactics could just be re-worked to be a part of that system (also employed in pirate base attacks)

I saw that the pirate ground combat uses different looking ground visuals now. So implemented..? :D
