Stopped playing years ago: Can pirates attack your freighter?
Like, is there any 'danger' when you're in your bed/house, or it's 100% calm until you go find battles.

It's calm unless you start a fight

Have happened to me before. Reloaded save to fix that nuisance.

They won't directly attack your freighter but if you are in your ship flying near your freighter then they could potentially spawn near enough that they may target your fleet. This however is not a big deal because fleet ships can not be destroyed in this manner. If you are inside your freighter you are completely safe and don't have to worry about pirates spawning or attacking.
A shame. I hope they add some stationary danger to the game.
Not me - too many moving parts to get it to work right atm. The pirate malfunctions are still being fixed months later. Just another PIA game mechanic with totally inadequate rewards for the constant annoyance.
Can you explain more what you mean? I stopped playing on 2019-2020 so I don't know shit about pirates. Why exactly are you against stationary dangers? Like "Pirates incoming, you have 30 minutes to evacuate or prepare turrets"
After the pirate update, random attacks on bases, developed areas, trading posts, walkabouts etc were every 3 minutes, non stop. oops. Then they scaled that back to something less but still totally obnoxious so that people's behavior changed. Then again, limiting it to conflict level 3 only was obnoxious and occasionally elsewhere and so on - this release continues to nerf pirates as usual.
Hate to say it but this is mostly a sandbox exploration game and players get pissed off when something harshes their mellow as they explore. If you want to make it into starcontrol or masters of orion writ flashier, good luck but the code is not there and neither is the user base. Multiuser is extremely limited and buggy as it is.
There are other games like that out there - try one of those.
