well the title summs the important stuff up. didnt found a report (i have to admit i dont ever find anything with the search function) so if this is allready known, im sorry.

for the background, i just made a costum race called the pirates, in resemblance to the svensgaard pirates from alpha centauri, which were my favorite civ.

i was kind of confused to see so many entrys in the star port until i realized "Pirate Colony Ship" isnt referring to me, its the infamous pirates which spawn due to an event.

same goes for constructor and stuff, didnt play into it yet to see if i can get some of the battleships they have.

it wouldnt matter that much(its not intended so it should be fixed i guess) but those versions are cheaper, so i hvae an advantage in the colony rush. it builds one week faster, so i guess somebody should look into it.

hope i could help

edit: i was worried if this would happen with a costum race named Dread Lords. couldnt do it that way. didnt test peacekeapers or the jagged knive and those other guys who get a new faction.
