So how do I use the pirates and Nomads mod for SEIV? I dled and placed the mod. Can I be a pirate and a nomad? Can someone explain the difference to me?

If I remember things correctly, the Pirates and Nomads mod (P&N) revolves around developing different economic models than other mods.

The "normal" races are just like every other race in stock. They colonize planets, build facilities on those planets to generate an economy, construction infrastructure, and technology. Lather-rinse-repeat.

The "pirates" are races that are centered around stealing economic power rather than generating it themselves. They cannot colonize directly, but can steal a colony ship or conquer a colony, but once that is accomplished, they can only build new facilities that operate at a tiny percentage of those of a normal race. Most income is meant to come from raiding parties capturing and scrapping the ships of other races. Survival is dependent on stealth and opportunistic strikes.

The "nomads" are races that also do not colonize planets, but instead live on massive ships that generate income as if they were tiny planets. Each ship produces some amount of resources, and this is held in check by requiring long construction times; that way you won't have a nomad with millions of resource ships out-pacing a normal race.
