I do wish pirates would spice it up a little, make it a little harder to find them. If a pirate is in Liberty, he/she's almost certainly either in the WP-MH, WP-CaliTL in New York or the New York JG-Planet Mojave TL in California. I've seen veeerrrry few pirates stray from these three lanes and actually continue pirating.
I'd like to see pirates in the badlands tradelane; somewhere a LPI officer would ever dare enter without his donuts and a Navy officer without his ejection seat checked and re-checked.

You'll find it is primarily independents who operate these trade lanes... the LR- rarely go to NY unless for a specific reason, and we never really pirate there... especially not now that the LR Dessie was moved.
The LN have a mandatory crusier and above roster which all independents must register. Although we can't make them sell their ships, if they refuse to abide by role-playing rules, they can be listed as "rogue".
