Pirate ships (Yarr)

[Tryptic]

so I have had an idea, recently, for a feature I want to put into Tryptic's Mod (my balance update mod for STAII Fleet Operations)

The idea is to have a pirate station, on the map and indestructible, that players can board to "negotiate" and unlock a few special options. The first ability I have in mind will have the player select a spot on the map, then after a few seconds it will trigger a pirate ship to warp to that spot, drop an explosive charge, then warp out.

I have realized that since the ship doesn't need any stats, I could use multiple ship models and have the game choose randomly which ship shows up each time. Do you guys have any random pirate-looking ship models you would like to see used in this way?

Anything used as a pirate ship in the series if you can get your hands on them

You could use a variety of models, Miradorn, Naucassian, Kazon, Hirogen etc would be some ideas you could use.
As far as models, you could contact the Sins group Stellar Paralax (Star Trek A3) and see if you can use some of their models (Neutrals). Also Avon release as full Hirogen race some time back, plus a Delta Quadrant pack that had various ships from Voyager than could be used.

The pirate faction in Wastelands uses the Talarian warship and derived designs, from Avon's work. They look sufficiently low-tech but still menacing, and I've always had a weak spot for them. Apart from that, station-wise I have two asteroid base models that Achilles made for AOW4 back in the day.

Where might I find these?

Which do you mean? The ships are part of Avon's Caretaker Pack, which you can find for example at ArmadaFiles. As for the stations, AOW4 was never released publicly AFAIK, so I'd have to dig them up for you.
