will there ever be bigger maps with more players? i already know how to change the map settings myself to make them bigger but it will not let me add more players. the pirates usually wipe out 1 or 2 factions before i even get into the game so having more people to start out with would be nice and prevent an easy expansion into the whole galaxy.

Tunr off pirates in the advanced options screen?

i still want pirates. i just dont want them spawning with 6 ships with 340 kinetics when i can only muster about 80 per ship.
