ideas for new pirate ships

first off, sorry if I'm doing a thread that's been repeated before, but I wanted to put my thoughts into this one.

current pirate ships: pillager, rogue, cutthroat, reaper, corsair.

Basically, come up with ships that fill missing roles (like cruisers and what not).

I'll start: Pirate Brute. Brute is a nasty ship that is only encountered on larger scale pirate attacks. Brute is a rather unique ship because it's the pirate capital. In my mind, the brute would be a combat/fleet support ship that is a nightmare to any planet it attacks. I think it would start around level 3 and move up from there.

Pirate Ravager: not many ideas to this one yet, I think it would be a assault cruiser or carrier, but I'm not sure

Again, the 7 Deadly Sins mod has that and all the stuff I mentioned above (5 pirate capital ships, new pirate frigates and crusers, and playable pirate faction) so if you want new pirate stuff you should try it.

3. An embargo style ability that siphons off credits or something along those lines. (probably a capital ability)

This is a good idea. Kill 'em before they steal too much and run with their captured credits. This doesn't/shouldn't be a Capital ship requirement.

Run??? How about Pirates that behave like Pirates instead of Rebels willing to die to the last? Pirates that hit and run! Pirates that capture their booty and return to base! How does a Pirate benefit from destroying a colony? Where's the profit in that? Assuming this is the role of the pillager, land after a brief focused bombardment vs. randomly blowing up anything for the fun of it, then pillage and return to base already! Pirates don't have infinite cargo capacity!!! I have seen Pirates defeat small colonies and never leave!
