Alright, I'll stop samefagging and if no one comments on this anymore I'll let it go
Distant Worlds
that's pretty cool, a good pirate implementation as opposed to other games (looking at you Port Royale)
there's some pretty interesting things you can do with them,
I happened to colonize one planet with a hideout, and they gave a fucking hell of a time,
had to wage war against them and ended up conquering a planet they had complete control over.
they're manageable, but hell, can be a good hassle to deal with…
only thing I wish, that is missing is more diplomacy options between pirates and regular empires, like you can't formally declare war and make an ally out of them, only option is to pay "protection" and that screws up automation and AI
you never reached late game whit the shakturi?
well technically I'm still on my first game, that is, first game after learning it
Okay, I'll just ask this one last time
what are weapon bypassing shields, and what weapons are supposed to counter what?

some reference links with info on stuff… but anyway, I read that graviton and railgun weapons bypass shields, but I can't be certain about this stuff since its not commented on the pedia
