I really want to limit the size and power of player-made factions to prevent them from stealing the spotlight/hijacking the story. Right now you're trying to make galaxy-wide, powerful pirate faction that somehow avoids the eyes of anything larger than megacorps. A pirate faction could not hold anything bigger than a cluster (100-200 stars), and even then only with constant targets. Spreading them up just increases how much the leader's control is stretched, and since they will mostly live on pirated supplies (trying to sell to pirates is a bad idea) having to send those back home will bring them to the edges of their faith.
I know you want your faction to be very important, but they're godamn Spacers. It would also be unfair to other player-made factions, if anyone bothers.
If you don't stop pushing a powerful pirate faction that's perfectly structured to assist a character in derailing the entire galaxy, they're not going in.
