How often do pirates invade the system?

Also will there be larger pirate ports that can be reached via a wormhole or something?

In order to cause significant damage to a pirate base the ships required is difficult to travel intersystem and the bounty in other systems is not worth the time involved...

Just kind of want to know how often the events will occur to determine if I can increase military fleet size and use the bounty to offset the upkeep.

Out of curiosity, is there any level beyond Star Lord? or will there be additional perks aside from receiving income based off population of the system?

Is it possible to add another buy option for transport units to buy max volume from the market instead of fixed numbers?
For example now you constantly have to adjust the numbers to avoid your transport will wait another turn just to add another quantity of 1 on top of 929 because you have set the number to buy a total of 930 and the market volume has decreased since you have a loop order set to buy from that city.

So basically a third option beside 'Fill Cargo' and Fixed 'Quantity' , which is 'Max Volume' from one turn

Is there anything in the works to utilize "jump points" to travel between systems, fleets can become so large that they may take more than 500 turns to get to the new system and the even is over..

I want to bring in the suggestion for a downloadable application of BotG.

What I'm experiencing right now is getting somewhat tired of the waiting delay when going through information data on the map etc, like when you click on a city, than click demand tab for example, click back to overview map again, just already these few steps is trying to make me do it as less as possible since I just want to look at 1 product it's demands which feels like ages lol.

An application just showing all the information data you requested from a map area would be great already, that would instantly pop up the information I'm looking for because that small delay every click I make is killing me right not, but it could be me only.
And maybe also reduces the load on servers since it doesn't have to send data more than one time with 1 turn, because now when clicking back to something it is always refreshing.

On Sirius IV, I attacked the pirate base (Raiders was set as target player during attack order).
Now the Terran federation wants to have my head

Also, I can't choose "nobody" as guilty corporation - it's the choice between me and abstaining.
Since I have an absolute majority of voting power, I'd have liked the "nobody" choice.

With the current upkeep costs, I would be okay without Titan Class, but a jumpgate would be incredibly useful.

2 suggestions:

Additional option when buying to prevent making big losses; an option to set the max %demand price to be allowed to buy, for example I want to prevent my transports or distribution center to buy a product from the market if the demand% has reached 200%.
Than maybe something like transports will go back to a set location when they are no longer be allowed to buy, or just keep doing their route without buying anything.

Option to upload your own pictures for your buildings and vehicles, but only you can see the custom pictures, like someone attacks you with an infantry and you would see their picture, you would see the custom picture you have set for infantry, so this is all customizations which are all only for your personal view, although if this is good idea I don't know how it will work with copyrights, even if it's only for personal view...

What if anything can you do?

Perhaps even have an iframe for only market data so you can stay on the same buy/sell/orders screen and navigate the market data at the same time.

I'm already using several tabs when doing stuff, especially viewscreen and assets need to be open in parallel. I noticed, that session timeouts are a problem then, can we mabye somehowincrease the duration before such an timeout occurs? I need to to use tab reloader plugins to not be kicked time and again, which becomes quite annoying over the course of a day, having to login every 30 min maybe..

yes that's also very cool, and actually even better to have fixed themes for that indeed, altough it cost more effort for an art designer because it has to do the whole line for the collection.

What happened to the pirates? Have not seen any for the past week or so in the Sol system

well I don't like the idea that being an additional perk for paid accounts only imo, putting a pay wall to unlock game mechanics seems to be very thing what is wrong with games these days, but yo, that's my opinion :P

Somehow I have a whole bunch of ACP structure buildings at Saturn 3.They claim they're fortifications under subtext but their names are all "(ACP) Structure". I know I didn't make these, (and I definintely didn't have 20 ACP structure items laying around) so I honestly have no idea where they came from, but now my military logistics went from just under my max to 100 points over my max so all my military is double cost. Please take a look and remove these buildings. Again I have no idea what triggered them to pop up so unfortunately I can't advise how to reproduce the issue

Edit: Yes I know I can just salvage them all, but I figured you'd want to actually look at it before I remove them to help determine where they came from

Something we did yesterday caused this for sure. I'm looking into it

Thanks, I now have two extra monolith class star ships
But I think I'll scrap both soon, since they just cost too much upkeep, and since I'm not in a war with anyone...

Ain't it an idea to have the game just everything same for everyone, but you make clear to the players that they are able to support the game to keep the game running and further develop, there is always the possibility to change it into paid perks because of lack of support (not because of greedy shareholders who got your company in a stranglehold LUL)
I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of support from people for this concept, although I have no crystal ball, I can imagine people want to keep a game alive they have a lot of fun with that still demands nothing of them.
But anyway, yea anything which is less being placed behind a paywall I can only support that

There is a lot of logistical management in this game, I have now come to a point that I can't handle the management of all my logistics without spending a lot and a lot of time configuration my assets stock in cities and transports.

For example last day the clothing industry collapsed, I have been buying lot's of clothing since than, I got several cities full stocks of clothing products, which is fine because I make a lot of profit of them, but transporting them out of the cities to the locations I want them to is an extremely exhausting job.
Either way it would be fine if I was not paying storage cost, but since it did I have to get it out.

I have some suggestions for logistical management:
1.For on the logistical main page an order options, with next to units which can transport goods and products selection boxes, just like when you mass upgrade.
Than you can issue orders like this; Select a transport unit to do the job (from main asset list) > select the city which all the goods as to be send to (from main asset list options) > select all the products (from main asset list) > choose between transport/sell products.
Now the transport will automatically will create the orders to do the job for the selections you have made and starts transporting the goods to the place you have selected and starts selling it or dumping it inside

2.Disband unit group option, now you have to select them one by one to get the out of a group, or a selection box to select each unit you want to disband out of it.

3.Select all units from main asset list with check boxes to move to an location immediately/after empty cargo/after first reaching loop order, and it will cancel their current orders after that and move to the location, for maybe emergency or just logistical reasons.

4.Additional list of cities when you issue 'move to location' order, so you can see all cities names instead of scrolling down a whole list of code named places in between.

Tbh the logistical management is just to much for me now that I'm not doing it anymore, at least not for now.
