* GoddamnedBats: If cargo space severely exceeds the strength of the player's ships and weapons, they will be consistently harassed by pirate raiding parties, upwards to being attacked in every single star system easily accessible by human ships. While normally a threat for early-game players, mid to late-game player fleets are so strong that they're capable of taking on several fleets, especially when many of these raiding parties could very well consist of nothing more than a Sparrow, aka, one of the weakest combat ships in the game.
