[Question Regarding To Pirate Attack Order]

from Sins Forums
I really wanted to bring out this question:

Is there a fixed order on what Planet/Astroid/Starsystem of yours are the pirates going to attack? (assuming your're their target)

Hope this question could be answered in detail considering as many cases as possible.
(e.g. Tradeport? 2 Pirate base all srounded by your planet? Planet/Astroid/Dead astroid?)

Will greatly appreciate your reply.

Will they go towards your homeworld and attack whatever they encounter first?
Or
Will they attack the closest planet? (determined by phaselane total length)?
Or

Pirates will go after whichever colony of yours is closest to their colony, doesn't particularly matter what colony type it is(planet,roid or dead roid)

They do, however always go after trade ships and trade ports, and ignore all else until those are gone.

by the way, wether on accident or on purpose,you made this same thread twice.

If several planet/astroids surround the pirate base, is it determined by phaselane length?

Hmm, i wouldn't know then, i suppose that would be the logical thing,but the AI isn't always doing the logical thing.

Alternatively,they might just take the route that's the shortest to reach your homeworld.

Don't know if i phrased that right,so let me try again.

I think that

The ai will look around,and see your homeworld and where it is,then assuming there's more then one option,it'l take the shortest one,and attack whichever of your colonies it happens upon first, get it?

At least,this is what i notice happening to me.
