Pirate bases should be set to Freeport
« on: December 03, 2018, 01:31:57 AM »

Everyone can come and trade as long as the transponder is off, seems like the definition of a freeport. Game mechanics wise, Pather bases should be freeports too? But that may be inconsistent with the lore.

It would be useful in overcoming that -90% accessibility penalty from hostility. All of the pirate stations/planets without free port suffer greatly.

It looks like the vast majority of pirate bases are already freeports, it's only Qaras, maybe 1-2 more, plus the randomly generated ones aren't set to freeport.
