I like piracy as it is anyway it does a good job of showing just how dangerous pirates are to an empire that is spread out without an adequate fleet.

Can we at least have the roll thing for piracy, because right now it is stupid and unrealistic.

Edit: also, you missed my fleet's exploration. Two class one's went one sector north.

The problem I have with piracy is that it scales horribly. A single piracy action will always kill all trade ships in a trade route, and being detected is not that much of a problem.

Could just make it one trade fleet stopped per pirate ship. Would mean it's more effective for pirates to use lower-strength ships and make it somewhat easy to defend trade routes.

Perhaps also have it be that every guard ship protects one trade fleet unless the pirates choose to do battle with the defenders?

hmm that would be a good idea if my intention was to make it easier for the offensive side but i exactly want to prevent that. I would have really liked to add it but its counteracting exactly what i tried to achieve.
How does it make it easier for the offensive side? It makes it possible for the offensive side, and means they have to invest a shitton into one operation, and go through it really slowly.

As it is right now, defense is basically invincible; drop some pop on influence and keep it in counter-intel and you never have to worry about people breaking through your intelligence screen. Like, ever.

exactly thats not the case Rolepgeek. Right now at the beginning yes, it is basically incredibly hard to start large scale Intelligence operations, but later on in the game when players start having 15, 20 planets even with populations in the 50s per planet, suddenly somebody who concentrated on Intelligence will be far more able to break through such defenses, plus research will support the offensive espionage player. Dont worry it works. As it is Espionage is there as a tactic but not as a method of winning the game.

As to piracy no i will change nothing with it. All you have to do is assing proper Escort Fleets. Trade Fleets by the way get only destroyed if you lose the battle. If you win it they survive and continue their trade. You just need to assign enough Fleets to defending the routes.
Besides unrealistic is a word that certainly doesn't fit into this setting. We are currently talking about the Realism of Space Ships appearing out of nowhere by travelling several times faster than light with means we don't even know. Realism is something that certainly does not factor into my thinking here.

What we are talking about is the abject stupidity of pirate fleets who put in more influence than you utterly annihilating your fleet when your escorts can do nothing about it.

you are aware that despite everything the player not only needs enough influence to make his enitre pirate fleet invisible, put in enough to defeat your counterintelligence but that in such a case the player would sacrifice his entire espionage defense?

On a side note concerning the map: Triangles represent fleet presence of the various factions in the various systems.

EDIT: PLease also note the changed prices for Colony Ships.
