- Decide whether to play nice and make friends using your planet, or whether to capture ships for tech and lose your planet.
- Once you lose your planet, you lose contact with all races, and are immune to intel ops. This can be good or bad depending on your situation. Be sure to research troops and/or capture & mothball a colony ship before you desert your planet, or you will have a very hard time reestablishing contact later..
Is there any other way to generate research points or do you have to capture any tech after losing your planet/research centers? Would this mean that a peaceful/nomadic race would have to mind it's P's and Q's and guard it's homeworld or stagnate?

3) Pirate Parrots are a rare species indeed, but they are generally considered a symbiote. The Pirate Parrot rapidly precipitates cracker crumbs out of the zero-G environment, thus protecting vital systems, while the ship provides shelter for the Parrot. It all works quite nicely.
4) The most common Key sung by Pirates is the Skeleton Key. It is a very low key, powered by cosmic rays, and the songs are hummed by the skeletons of those who've walked the plank.
Is there any peaceful way to play a nomadic race or are pirates just nomads who are misunderstood? Correct me if I am wrong but it seems like the main goal while playing a nomadic race is survival and the main reason to play it is an opportunity to roleplay. As such it seems like it would shine as an adjunct in a PBW game.

PS- Thanks Suicide Junkie for taking the time to answer my questions and especially the time it took to make this fascinating Mod. What is it, I wonder, in human nature that makes us fascinated with pirates?
