1.) You have to be friendly with that specific pirate group to do those things.

2.) I take it you've not flown against Guard/Nomad/MkII House fighters yet? You'll find that it WOULD unbalance their difficulties.. Namely, making those three types of ships be able to take on anything. Now remember, 4 fighters can take down a battleship. Now look if NPCs did the same amount of damage as we do? Battleships would die in under a minute against NPC fighters. That IS unbalanced and they would be overpowered. They are meant to be guards, not gods. Some things will upset balance in this mod, this is one of them. Go fight the Zoner Guard in Omicron-74, check out Livadia Shipyards. Then come back here and tell me that NPCs are no trouble at all.

3.) That massive price is there because they CAN be used against other player fighters. Why sell it cheap so people will mine-spam? This stops people from just mine-spamming like crazy. Same reasons for the Sidewinder Missile's price, and the sunslayer torp, and the Cannonballs, and Battleship Cruise Disrupters. They are extremely good pieces of machinery, and are as expensive as good pieces of machinery. Don't like the price, than don't use it.
