When I first started playing Gal Civ II, I loathed the pirates because I was always overmatched in exceeding fashion. As I learned the game and began delving into creating my own ships, the matchups became more balanced. Eventually, I got to the point where I could create ships that would level any pirate fleet. Since upgrading to v. 1.1, I have not seen one pirate fleet. I had begun looking forward to meeting the pirates because it was a good way to test out my ship designs without going to war. Has anyone else had this "problem" with a complete disappearance of the pirates?
