About the game
The pirates in FlickFleet are a low-tech human faction that can augment either of the original human factions, or be played as a faction on their own. Prior to the Box of Pirate Flicks the pirates faction was way smaller than the other two human factions, but this expansion will make them a full faction with loads more fleet building options. Box of Pirate Flicks content expands the Pirates faction from Box of Flicks 2 allowing more exciting battles, but requires the FlickFleet base game to play. The Box of Pirate Flicks is a new expansion consisting of loads of pirate ships for FlickFleet each of which contains one or two pirate ships or the wreckage that pirates mine for repairs. A Box of Pirate Flicks adds second copies of the original pirate fleet from Box of Flicks 2 (with new names, so you can easily use both in a battle), plus another Behemoth, which was an add-on to that campaign. In addition, there are loads of new ships too. With no access to naval dockyards, pirate ships rarely have shields, choosing instead to reinforce their ships' hulls for extra defence. They also don't have engineering actions that can always repair a ship, instead they must use Salvage Drones to raid asteroids and the wreckage left behind by destroyed capital ships for the materials they need. —description from the publisher
