==== Strategy ====

As the piracy suppression of individual ships stacks, when max piracy is high along a trade route, it is more effective to combine patrolling ships into one big fleet in order for fleet piracy suppression to approach or match max piracy and to reduce current piracy in one system towards a minimal amount at a time - ideally, current piracy in that system will not bounce back too much by the time the patrolling fleet returns; meanwhile, when max piracy is low, vice versa.

Since it is usually more effective have few fleets and each covering a number of systems, high fleet speed facilities suppression of piracy in player's empire, which in turn makes corvettes with their high speed on top of per ship piracy suppression extra effective at suppressing piracy.

If the player has only used the trade hub module in a starbase for trade value collection in early game in order to conserve the starbase's building slots, in late game, as more building slots become available, it can be more efficient to construct a hyperlane register building and swap a trade hub module for a weapons module in order to extend piracy protection while maintaining collection coverage. This also coincides with higher amounts of trade value that requires piracy protection in late game.

Since trade protection extends over wormholes, gateways and L-gates, player can prioritize weapon modules in starbases near wormholes, gateways and L-gates in order to overlap trade protection coverage. This coincides with the need for defense at or near wormholes, gateways and L-gates.

Connecting all trade hubs to the capital using [[Megastructures#Gateways|gateways]] can eliminate piracy by removing unprotected systems from the trade routes.
