I think I had this very same discussion on the Diaspora group on Google+ or in the discussion forums on Boardgames Geek. Maybe I had it twice. :-)

2015-01-11 03:02:51 +0000 UTCOne thought I've always had was that piracy takes place where things get complicated. Most real life piracy takes place near shore, in areas where the crew is navigating through rough waters. The only place like that is in orbit around a world. There you can have "Somali Pirates" who launch ships up into an intercept orbit and threaten cargo ships. These ships could even be ROVs, no need to actually put a manned ship up, unless the pirates don't have access to that kind of tech. If you do have a manned ship, it's more like a super space shuttle than a deep space vessel. It grabs the most valuable cargo and drops back into the atmosphere. Once under the blanket of air, it's easier to hide.
