yes supplying the pirates can make them stronger, Luddic path is harder because they are the only faction in the game that doesn't have a proper supply chain.
Pirate can take new blue prints as others have said, they also have a ship production facility that is constantly short of production inputs, supplying that planet with the material it need can keep its ship production going and there are two effects
1. more pirate ship will pratol that planet and the system
2. more pirate ship shipment will be smuggle out of that planet in to other pirate planets.
However the effect on the actually strengths of the pirates is VERY minor, because the bulk of the pirate fleet comes from the random pirate base spawn in the middle of no where, granted that base still supplies those bases but the difference with or with out it is minimal.
so the only effective way to effect pirate strengths is just to dump blue prints on the black market, and luddic path don't have access to this option either.
