Re: A pirates life for me...
mac, your idea of only colonizing tiny/small moons is almost the same as what I had in mind. I don't see pirates inhabiting med or large or huge sized planets. The small easily ignored moons to me are ideal for pirates.
As for atmosphere - I liked suicides original idea of choosing "none" for the atmos - just seems like a true choice - also makes the moons a logical colony/base target.
Your idea of limiting the ability of other races to use intell vs. a pirate race sounds interesting but I don't know of any way to mod that - I think that would have to be changed in the games program. I like the idea of it though - kinda like having a empire loose contact w/a pirate race unless it is contact w/one of their ships(can see it & can only deal w/the race so long as it can view one of its ships) or knows where one of their bases are (& if that base is destroyed, the empire looses contact w/the race)
