Turf wars. Previous change, as I pointed out, made Pirates unable to target certain factions, because they barely fly transports or freighters, yet those faction have an advantage to shoot first.
Why would indie pirates get into turf wars? They're not that organized, nor would they be able to sustain such influence. Other house-based pirate factions would snuff them out without even batting an eyelid.
Pirates don't need to target ships other than traders. They're pirates, remember?
