Although it would involve fewer total skins in the game, I actually would prefer if 'pirate' ships used existing empire ship hulls. After all, most pirates take their own ships from more. . legitimate sources. So why in this universe are they building all their own stuff?

If boarding is to be implemented, it would be cool to board the pirates and steal their ship design.

I still don't think that'd work. I'm not sure if I misunderstood you or what.

Which is why you would get their ship design by boarding them. With their ship design, you can build their ships, thus piloting them in combat.

I realize this isn't necessarily what you were talking about (op), but:

I agree with this. Would be less designs, but would be really cool. Just have each ship has random hulls, etc.

Perhaps have the ability to steal other faction ships as well? Either way it would be very cool. Maybe also have it so that you can't always steal their ship (or the design)...

i know there is no official detail about the pirates but i just think it would be cool for like what some of you said to board a ship and take it or just take there design.

It would be awesome to have the opportunity to hire pirates to blockade star systems and harass your opponents - this could be worked into a leader skillset (attribute) on interstellar diplomacy that gives your leader the ability to approach a pirate fleet that moves into your system and negotiate terms (with a random thrown in that sees discussions breakdown entirely launching into a fullscale battle).

this is a awesome idea i like it cause then you can stop trade between a player or 2 players this would seem real if it was in the game i like the idea

It would be interesting if the pirate ships were based on existing faction designs, but with (probably random) additions as they have repaired or added parts of other ships to them.

i see how people would like to see random faction ships as pirate ships to but i do think they need a little diversity with ships i do like the look of the pirate ships, but they should also have some "stolen" ships from other factions when you lose a battle between them they take the ship then send it to there base for repairs and new fittings.

of the ships the pirate takes from battles or other players and AI, should be sold on there black market for players to buy so they have a functional faction and can become a faction like AI
