Trust me, you wouldn't like them. They're k'luth without cloak and a bit weaker.

you could give them the power of being able to outfit their ships in whatever strange way they like by offering an array of universal hardpoints.
could get some strange setups like bricks of armor that are barely maneuverable, glass cannons, ridiculously maneuverable cruisers. etc.
since they're weaker overall, it might not be such a big deal if they can take on some fairly extreme 'personalities'

i would take that as a hint that it might actually be a good idea.

you do the coding and I'm sure they would love to add a new faction to the game. While your at it make sure its 100% balanced as well. Its not as easy as it seems.

Maybe I would if they didn't hide the code, and I had some way of testing changes on a local server.
I wouldn't find balance on my own, It would have to be on beta and tested.
Really, they wouldn't let me see the code even if I wanted to.
I did see a few snippets, and I understood what they were doing, but I simply don't know enough about the inner workings to know what's viable and what isn't.

You'd be surprised.
Problem with making pirates playable is they have what you might call a very limited selection of ships. No frigates, a... singular cruiser, I believe, no dreadnoughts. Few specialised ships.
Plus they don't really have any kind of theme or uniqueness apart from mediocrity and a mishmash of random weapons from other factions.
And, from a fluff point of view, do you really think pirates are going to be able to stand up to three organised and well-equipped military forces? You can't possibly expect them to stand up to actual player factions.
