ive notice that HeadHunters and pirates are mistankly working together, when im in a sector, I know im at war ands they will hunt me. BUT when they attact I notice that pirates are not to far behind, like they can sense the gun fire and warp in for an easy kill. the last hour and a half all ive been doing is fighting off attack after attack, like literally every 2 mins another headhunters group warps in looking for me lol they arnt the hardest to kill, just when its one after another after another after another.
id suggest making a limit an Ai can order an attact to begun, maybe once ever 30 mins? also the pirates are pretty numbers as well, id die them back a whole bunch. again really sucks in later game when you have your own sectors and youre managing things.
