Hello,

any idea's on how to create a map with only the player and the seemingly random generated pirates? Would i have to modify a saved game and 'kill' the other faction? or is it not even possible to have a game with just the player and pirates?

Still trying to get a handle on the game and have a nice slow map so i can get a better idea of what the heck i am doing without having other factions take 70% of the galaxy before i know whats happening.

Sounds like it would be a great scenario, or practice mission. I believe you can continue the game even after the AI is defeated, but I don't think you can start a game without the AI; you might have to kill them with a modified save game, although if that doesn't work, the final solution would be to mod the AI so it won't expand.

Before that, you should wait for a more definite answer. And maybe someone would be kind enough to mod a savegame and send it to you to save you the trouble - this forum has some great members.

Try a huge map, 2 player, newbie difficulty. The other AI will expand so slowly, it will seem you have the whole map to yourself. You may also want to disable the economic victory (advanced options on right side of new game panel). An AI which is left to itself will eventually horde enough dust to win.

I found a way to set a faction as pirates, you could have a two player game of your opponent literally being pirates.

would that allow them to take and hold star systems like a normal faction?

Well I know that pirates have started invasions on me before, but thus far I've never let them progress to the point that they finish one (closest I got was getting a fleet back to the rear to drive one off with 5 turns left on the timer) so I'm not sure if they can actually do anything with the system after they invade, but I would suspect so...
