I started next to a system with a 10k ship!

[Anto_0n]

Im pretty new to Stellaris and just started a new game. And i spawned right next to a system with a 10k ship or 9.7 to be exact. What if they attack me then ill be screwed. When i get a strong fleet can i defeat that ship and take over it? My brother talked about taking over a huge ship, is it one of these?

Autonomous dreadnought? Bad luck for starting for you just restart the game.

I'm guessing it's either a blue, green, or purple space station? Those don't attack unless you attack them.

Also, the ship your brother mentions has a skull as it's combat strength.

Pirate base?
Don't worry, the old guard will stay in that system and will only attack if you visit them. You might get a Young Blood patrol flying through your territory but by the time this happens, you should be strong enough to deal with them. (5-800 strength).

Most hostile entities tend to stick to their systems, the notable exceptions are the Amoebas and the very rare pirate patrol (Young Bloods) if you are near to their base.

Oh ok it just has it combats streght and no skull so as i understand it isnt a dreadnought then?

[facciola007]

No the dreadnought will say you cant identfy the tech so it wont give you military power. I was wrong. A screenshot is always nice, the other comments should lead to what it is without the screenshot though.

[Sir Crashalot]

If you mouse over the red ship icon on the galaxt screen, it should tell you what it is.

Thats sexy I like the skull logo on the front :)

[Anto_0n]

Yeah but is it a dreadnought though?

[facciola007]

DId you get a message when you jumped in? I am sure the autonomous dread looks different.

that is not the drednought.

there should be two other pirate fleets nearby, old/scarred veterans and young blood. That there is the makeshift main pirate vessel in the core pirate sytem, didn't you get the notification when jumping in?

[Anto_0n]

No i did not get any notification when jumping in? Is there always a dreadnought in every game?

[Sir Crashalot]

No, the leviathans are not all guarenteed in every game.
That ship belongs to the Old Guard, there usually are two other fleets with it. (pirate faction)
The main fleets will stay in that system but the Young bloods might occasionally fly through your territory hitting stations en route.

Oh i see, thanks for the help :D
