Pirates

from GalCiv3 Forums

While playing with both expansions (Mercenaries and Crusades) I turn off the pirates. Yet I keep getting alerts and warnings about them. I never see them in game, which tells me that the setting is working. Is there a way to rid myself of the alerts?

Hmm... Guess not...

What type of alerts are you getting?  If it is something like this "Beware, [Your name]. We have received reports of pirates. These scavengers destroy anything they come across.", you can ignore it.  It is just one of several generic conversations that the AI can initiate as part of the Flavor Text.  They don't mean anything.

Thanks for the reply. 

Yes, those are the types of alerts I am getting. After I saw no pirates in hours of play, I figured that the alerts were part of the game, regardless of the "no pirate" setting. I was just wondering if I could do something to shut them off. I find them mildly annoying, but I can live with it.

I would rather that they would get rid of alerts like this when the options shut this off. It would be a little tricky to program, but not impossible.

Not tricky at all ...

if (!OPTION_PIRATES_OFF) {

   show_pirate_message();

} else {

   // do nothing

}
