If an outpost is already full capacity for ships (%130-140 of its base fleet strength), Stronghold stop sending reinforcements to this outpost. If all outposts are full, in this scenario Stronghold will wait for an outpost to be cleared and you will see Next Reinforcement as `Soon` in pirate stronghold details.

New page

= Pirate System =
Pirates are the primary PvE adversaries in Per Regna.

They are not static targets. Pirates operate as dynamic entities that:

* Spawn across systems
* Maintain Strongholds and Outposts
* Reinforce weaker positions
* Send transport convoys
* Escalate if ignored
* Retaliate when farmed

The pirate system evolves significantly across Realms.
----

== Core Structure ==
Each pirate presence consists of:

* 1 Stronghold (main base)
* 3–4 Outposts (branch bases)
* Shared fleet pool
* Independent system lifecycle

Maximum:

* 2 pirate strongholds per system
* Each system respawns independently

----

== Spawn Rates & Lifecycle ==

=== Active Phase ===
Pirates remain active in a system until gets cleared, during this phase:

* Reinforcements may occur
* Convoys may travel
* Escalation may trigger (After R3)

=== Downtime Phase ===
After destruction:

* 2–4 hour cooldown (randomized)
* Respawn timer visible
* New pirate configuration spawns

Each respawn generates:

* Fresh fleet distribution
* New outpost strength variance
* Potentially different faction alignment (Realm 2+)

----

== Fleet Distribution Model ==
Pirate strength is divided between:
{| class="wikitable"
!Structure
!Fleet Share
|-
|Stronghold
|50–70% of total strength
|-
|Outposts (combined)
|30–50% split unevenly
|}
Outpost strength varies intentionally:

* Weak stronghold: 3k power
* Strong stronghold: up to 100k+ power (higher Realms)

This allows:

* Small players to farm weak outposts
* Strong players to target heavy positions
* Strategic choice per system

----

== Strongholds & Outposts ==

=== Stronghold (Main Base) ===
The Stronghold:

* Controls reinforcement logic
* Sends convoys
* Triggers escalation
* Ends pirate presence when destroyed

When Stronghold is destroyed:

* No further reinforcements occur
* Outposts become static
* Debris fields spawn
* System penalties are removed

=== Outposts (Satellite Bases) ===
Outposts:

* Contain independent fleets
* Receive reinforcements
* Can be attacked individually
* May be cleared without destroying Stronghold

Outposts vary in difficulty.
----

== Reinforcement System ==
Realm 1:

* Static fleets (no movement)

Realm 2+:

* Reinforcements every 15–20 minutes
* Stronghold transfers ships to Outposts

Realm 3+:

* Reinforcements every 10–15 minutes
* Smarter routing
* Reinforcement cap applied

=== Reinforcement Cap ===
A Outpost cannot exceed:

* +30–40% above its base fleet

Prevents infinite stacking and player frustration.

=== Reinforcement Telegraphing ===
Sensor Arrays reveal:

* Next reinforcement timer
* Incoming fleet detection (2-minute warning)
* Convoy ETA (higher levels)

----

== Transport Convoys ==
Pirates send transport fleets between Outposts.

Purpose:

* Move resources
* Rebalance strength
* Create interception opportunities

=== Realm 2 Convoys ===

* Weak escorts (3–10 ships)
* 15% chance to carry Iridium
* Frequency: every 30–90 minutes (faction dependent)

=== Realm 3 Convoys ===

* Stronger escorts (20–40 ships)
* Silicium chance (10%)
* Expedition fragment chance (5%)

=== Realm 4+ Mega Convoys ===

* Large escorts
* Elerium cargo
* Rare cosmetic drops

Convoys can be intercepted by players.
----

== Escalation System (Realm 3+) ==
If pirates are ignored:

* +10% fleet strength per hour
* Maximum +50% OR 48 hours
* After cap reached → system penalty triggered

System Penalty:

* -5% resource production across system

Purpose: Force players to clear pirate presence.
----

== Retaliation System (Expected to be delivered in 2026 Q3) ==
Triggered when:

* Same player attacks 3 times within 24 hours

Realm 2:

* 5–20 ship retaliation fleet

Realm 3:

* 50–100 ship retaliation fleet

Realm 4:

* 100–200 ship retaliation fleet

Retaliation mechanics:

* 10-minute warning
* Attacks weakest colony
* 48-hour immunity after retaliation

Protected mechanics:

* 30% baseline safe storage
* Defenses auto-repair partially

----

----

== Factions (Realm 2+) ==
Pirate Strongholds belong to factions.

=== Raider Clan ===

* +20% loot
* -10% fleet strength
* Frequent convoys

=== Fortress Clan ===

* +30% fleet strength
* -20% loot
* Rare convoys

=== Tech Clan ===

* EMP/Ion units
* Expedition fragments
* Medium convoy rate

Realm 3+ adds:

* Reputation system
* Bribe offers
* Friendly/Hostile states

----

== Debris Mechanics ==
Debris spawns after every pirate battle.

Persistence:

* 2 hours , when pirate respawns debris is lost

Collection:

* Recyclers
* Advanced Recyclers (Realm 3+)
* Haulers auto-collect 30% during battle (Realm 4+)

Anyone can collect debris.
----

== Strategic Implications ==
Pirates create:

* PvE tension
* Resource redistribution
* Alliance cooperation
* Convoy hunting gameplay
* Anti-farming escalation pressure

Realm 1: Safe learning environment.

Realm 2: Cooperative PvE.

Realm 3: Contested PvE.

Realm 4: Raid-boss scale PvE.
----

== Design Philosophy ==
Pirates are designed to:

* Feel alive
* Move dynamically
* Scale with player progression
* Provide risk/reward tension
* Encourage scouting and sensor investment
* Create system-level consequences

Pirates are not static farms. They are living adversaries.
