The plan is to stick to raid fleets being made up of stuff from factions already in the game. If we did try to make a "pirate" raid fleet out of stuff already in the mod, there's not really anything that screams 'pirate' as Snafu says, and they'd just as easily be mistaken for another group, and it's not really worth it for us to try to work on art assets if we wanted to try to make dedicated pirate vessels- even right now when they're the only battle event we have to plan around, Raid Fleet battles only happen 15% of the time. With 3 possible Imperial variations (based on IR, PA and Zsinj rosters), EotH, NR, Hapan, Yevethan and then pirate, you end up with a little less than a 2% chance overall of any given group, with even less of a chance of seeing any given ship within that. It's hard to imagine a situation where we have enough extra art resources floating around where we could justify spending it on something that would appear so rarelyl when we have so many other things we could be doing.
