Once a fix is available for the boarding bug, I'm hoping to try out a pirate campaign where I primarily capture my ships. I have the feeling this is going to be pretty rough. Some questions for those who have been playing more 0.7a than me:
- how is the frequency-of-capture chance in 0.7a? My impression is it seems pretty darn rare/low, but I don't have enough experience to say for sure.
- is there any way to gain rep with the pirates besides trading with them? Any config edits or console commands I can use to start with some rep?
- any recommendations for good systems to prowl with a decent-size pirate market some decent prey, besides Corvus? The display on the intel screen is helpful, but
it's tiny and it only tells you so much. - uh... assuming I stick to fighting and not trading, smuggling, etc., will it even be possible to stay cash-positive or cash-stable like this?
- are larger pirate markets useful at all - e.g. will Qaras have anything Barad A/B won't?
Lastly, is there any advice anyone else can offer?
