Third, defiance is good, but don't piss of those more powerful than yourself. Hell is hell you know...
And ryat, for the record i support making the pirates stronger in distant stars, but only at the beginning. There is no need to make them tougher later on when they bring 14 capitol ships.
Also, im like cancer, im impossible to get rid of and i spread. So just deal with me sinceim not going anywhere
