More pirate subs!

[bwhaaah]

Currently out of all the submarines in the game only three can be seen as pirate subs, which can become a bit boring after a while.

It would be more exiting to never know which submarine the pirates may have, and it would make sense for them to be able to have any submarine. Having more pirate subs would make progression more interesting by seeing higher tier subs later on.

As far as I know it wouldn`t be too difficult to make pirate versions out of the rest of the vanilla subs.

So in short more pirate subs would be nice.

It'd be really cool if any subs you had picked for the campaign could be used randomly as pirate vessels, lol. Then you could end up fighting against some truly whacky and terrifying submarines. Who doesn't want to fend off that Honkmother shaped submarine, or a giant penis, or that really cool ghost ship, or some other monstrosity besides?

Don't care if the pirate bots struggle to use it, they struggle to use the vanilla stuff anyway so you'd hardly notice

People could make submarines designed entirely around AI combat, and then players could add them to their campaign not to be used by them but hoping for pirate vessels to pop up. The clever ones could make some seriously tough nuts to crack, like a literal bunker with multiple fallback points, intelligent features and automatic turrets inside the ship, etc. My buddy made the Ankylo from Sins of a Solar Empire, it was designed with an extremely weak interior (like walls with half the strength of glass windows lol) but with insanely tough exteriors (top and bottom parts, like 10x the usual HP) - that's something that'd be really cool to fend off if pirates were using it!

I don't wanna throw salt or anything, but the game really doesn't feel finished yet. That full release feels like a bit of a mistake - if pirates had access to all of the vanilla subs, that'd feel finished, right? I've only ever seen them using a Dugong, Humpback or Remora (I think?) and a Typhon.
