PIRATEFAQ2

Q: Why do they show up sometimes 3 at once, especially ASFs?
A: The pirate system spawns based on the chaos theory. No real regulation
by code restricts the amount of pirates from a system, nor counts the
sizes of the ships to see what is `fair` and what isn't. It randomly
assigns pirates to systems, and the law of averages keeps the
distribution of them fairly equal.

Q: What if a pirate comes to orbit the planet I am on and won't leave?
A: Each pirate has a self destruct timer for 3 minutes from it's time
of creation onwards. Just wait it out, if you can't call for help.

Q: Finally, how long until the pirates are gone once and for all?
A: A mob ship system is being made by Orion, and once that is in place
for the timeline advancement the pirates will be disabled. For this
timeline, however, everyone needs to cope with it and learn from it.


Consider pirates a way to learn how to fly a ship, so that when you
end up fighting real ships you'll know what you're doing, somewhat.

Bitching about pirates to try to get them removed won't work, either.
