This is an experimental category for events with fights against enemy Pirate ships. The category is to include all instances of forced or optional fights against Pirate ships.

This category can help list and organize the events with fights against enemy Pirate ships:

  • One of the reasons for that is to keep track of the Pirate ships which also include pirated Zoltan ships.
    • Zoltan Shield prevents any offensive actions for several player ships in the early game (e.g. Mantis B, Crystal B) or complicates such actions, or simply poses a serious threat to many playable ships, especially if encountered against setups with dangerous weapons (e.g. Flak I + Heavy Laser).
  • Another reason - is to keep track of the pirated versions of Rebel ships.
    • Pirated Rebel Riggers can be highly dangerous for many playable ships due to possible deployment of their offensive drones in combination with destructive power-efficient weapons (Heavy Laser, Leto Missile). And Rebel Disruptors (offensive drones, hacking, power-efficient weapons) are considered to be among the most dangerous early game enemy ships.
  • The third type of enemy ships which can be problematic in the early game are pirated Slug ships, but only those which have Shields-4 system as early as in sector 1.

It is suggested to add corresponding (experimental) categories for events with fights against ships mentioned above and rename the current category to e.g. "Fights vs pirate ships", to match other category names:

  • Fights vs Zoltan ships
  • Fights vs Rebel ships
  • Fights vs Slug ships
  • Fights vs Engi ships // these can have Shields-4 in the early game too

Alternatively, do not create any of these categories (and also remove this one) if a proper table with events (fights against dangerous ship factions) is made. The table could be most relevant for the early game (sector 1 and 2 and, possibly, 3) for win-streaking on Hard difficulty.
