You have created a great mod.
My ideas for the perfect Pirate mod would be, in addition to your mod:
Only allowed to colonize tiny planets.
Not allowed any of the standard facilities, specifically resource, shipyard, intel or research.
Have more special facilities in the pirate motif that give resources, intel etc. but not be as good as the standard ones.
Be able to capture and ransom population.
Definately have special fighters.
More Pirate specific components, for additional flavor.
The only ones that can't be done, I think, are the restriction on the planet size and ransom. Maybe MM would consider adding planet size as an option along with atmosphere type and planet type but that may be asking a lot. Don't know how ransom would work.
I think Pirates should very rarely be able to stand up to a fleet. They should almost be forced to pick on individual or small Groups of ships.
The challenge I have found with Pirates is to try to win in an unconventional manner, which I have been very poor at but it is great fun trying.
