exploration of ruins as pirate faction

Post by Kayoz »

Is it WAD that ruins are not explored when playing as pirate?

Probably...

Pirates cannot colonize, and cannot use ruins... Why a pirate would need a ruin? The game does not allow you to go around tomb raiding...

Given you can sell off the location of the ruin to others, possibly. But that's just me-I'm no official.

Yes, this is by design. Pirates do not explore ruins.

Allowing pirates to explore ruins, especially in the pre-warp era, proved to be very unbalancing. Normal empires had no chance to explore ruins themselves.

Ya, figured as much - had to ask, though!

Imagine if the pirates found the death ray, and also the special governments (That even if they cannot use, it will ensure no empire will use either).
