Re: Are pirates going up in shields and weapons as I go up?

Yes the pirates get better, they also get more numerous. The curve levels out at about level 14 by which time you should be in, at least a MKIII Abidon Cruiser or a Battleship.
Only the Xiati or Amonkrie become a problem at this point and only if they mount multiple meson cannons - they simply have too fast a firing rate. The big equaliser is the Psychic flail avaialble from your friendly neighbourhood Sithrak
