Pirates in Galaxy Forge

Help getting the pirate bases right

from Sins Forums

So I've been making a map in galaxy forge right (an extensive Star Trek map :) to go along with the Sacrifice of Angels mod so I'd like help in general making it the best possible, and on an unrelated topic I can't figure out how to upload maps) and when I added multiple pirate bases, the pirates are only occupying one base on the map.  I'll go into more detail.  The map I've made does not use connections between stars but instead uses only connections between planets, while there are stars there is no phase connection to the stars.  I have pirate bases in multiple systems and each bases is connected to another pirate base to give it a kind of network.  When I load the map in game the pirates are only amassed in one base, and it seems as if all their forces are there because it is a significant force. 

Anyone know how to fix this?

Well last i checked the typical pirate defensive fleet/turret network spawned on each pirate base, but when the actual pirate raids come it will only go to one base.

no like there is no one at the pirate bases. After I work on the map in Galaxy Forge, I load it up in game and then just surrender so I can look at everything.  When I look at the pirate bases, out of like six or so, there is only one with anyone there.  The others are not even pirate controlled.  All I did in GF was just add a new planet and change it to pirate base.

Are you sure those pirate bases have default template checked?

On a side note: you can upload maps by clicking 'downloads' in the top bar, and then under maps you select the option to upload. Where else would you find it? ;)

yeah I know where to go to upload them, its the upload screen, I'm not sure what to do, do I need to compress?

 

and yes the pirates I'm pretty sure are default.

oh btw I figured out what was going on.  I had renamed the pirate base and also had changed the design name but it took me a couple of different times this happened to realize that there can only be one planet with a particular design name, while the ingame name can be the same there needs to be soemthing to separate them in design.
