So after long pause from game i came back to try what's new. I built a small ship and was a bit idling around next to spawn station with a friend. Pirates came and destroyed my little starter "ship" in a second... Luckily i had just enough of money left to make a tiny salvager ship.
Would it be possible to make the spawn area (roughly 2 sector radius around spawn sector) a safe zone, where pirates won't spawn in or come into?
Another observation though, was that the pirates in general seemed to spawn rather aggressively. It was a very difficult beginning of a game. Had i not known that i have to go and salvage high value plexglass from some station right away, there would've been not much of a chance to continue playing at all. Without cheats at least.
