Yeah, but that just means a pirate doesn't go for the huge carrier (unless offcourse they are role playing someone who has lost the plot and is going insane or are acting as a distraction for the rest of their pirate band for whatever reason etc) instead they would go for the lone police officer - you know the snub that is 30k out from any support and has just recently engaged another group of pirates and is heavily damaged and would be a potential target.
If you think that pirates should not be engaging the house forces due to the fact that they are outmatched/outgunned do not make it against the rules for them to do so - rather make ships that the pirate ID can use weaker than those that the house forces can use - or put a nerf on the ship/ID (whichever way is deemed best). That way the pirate can still go ahead with that role play if they so choose but it will actually be a bad decision for them to do so due to the tech they have and not the fact that someone is taking a thousand and one screen shots for a sanction report.
