24 hours of play and no pirates. What am I doing wrong?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've actually played for probably closer to 48 hours, but regardless I have yet to see pirates in the game or a precursor ship. It would be really nice if I could figure out what the problem is because frankly I've been finding the game pretty dull at points and I've love a little more complexity. So perhaps I'm just missing certain things happening; anyways how do I get these things to show up?

Unfortunatly these are all completely random happenings, so it all comes down to luck (real luck, not the ability)  Hope you see these events soon!

Trust me, you don't want pirates. Unless they spawn right over your enemy's most productive planet. They have impossibly advanced ships with impossible weapons, impossible miniaturization and impossible logistics. I know they say the AI doesn't cheat, but.... a fleet with logistics of 72??

Lol, last game of mine, pirate showed up with a massive fleet that would have pretty much decimated everyone, but it decided to run into my fully upgraded 61 module military base, it was a fun show. My base didn't recieve a single scratch nor did it gain a level (got 3/4 of one though) damn it!
