download link wrong

I got the update (FTP) with no issues.

The update is there, was trying to download it last night, however it kept timing out, and there is no word about it on the forums.

How do they escape with the loot when their ship has left the system or been destroyed?

I cannot understand how you have so much cash, whenever I hit 5-6 million I get the market crash report, even got it at 600k once.<br/>

How do they escape with the loot when their ship has left the system or been destroyed?

Something I have discovered after naming each planet I colonize is that the game records the names you use, and uses them when generating a new galaxy, basically building up a database.

Started a new game since the last patch, so far so good, no pirate hoards of escorts

<t> If this is how the game is meant to be then I would just deal with it, but to me it seems a bug, hence being in tech support.<br/>
<br/>
The fact that it is only ever one of the pirate factions that does this, the fact that all they build is just escorts, and the fact that they continue to ...

<t> Started another game with the pirate settings on very few, all was going well until I hit my 9th colonisation, then the pirates that had around 40 ships started to mass produce, in a matter of 10 minutes, they went from 330 to 412, they are now sitting on 488, all escorts, there is a mass of ...

Is it possible that the policy "assimilate" is causing this?

I had this with both the .5 & .6 updates, had to come to the forums to do it manually.

<t> There was no legendary pirates event for me, I was pretty early into the game when I discovered the hoard.<br/>
I'm at a loss, this pirate faction seems to be able to build a lot of ships, all of which are escorts with a few abandoned destroyers and capitols now and then, you pay them to leave ...

<t> I'm playing in 1400 stars, 15x15, also have pirates set to few, though that setting seems to make no difference to the number of Pirate factions.<br/>
<br/>
I have checked the other pirate factions that I have come in contact with and they all have ship numbers between 20-60, it's only this ...

<t> I pushed on with this game and kept an eye on them, seems they pushed their ship numbers up to just under 400, I was getting continually raided, mining and gas stations were being captured left right and center, I kept trying to fight them off and discovered that their losses where not being ...

<t> This problem is still here after the new patch. I received notification of an independent colony and jumped across for a look, what I found was a mass of escorts like the picture above, all around an independent colony, couldn't add my own screen shot because of the 7 days after 10th post ...

I got this same thing tonight, I've the most powerful fleet with 180 ships compared to all know races, yet I came across 1 pirate faction that had approx. 430 ships, far more than any of the other pirate factions.
