Alright, i know that u change what is in the pirate base in the galaxyscenariodef.
the lines for frigates are as follows
"Pirate:Frigate:Heavy"
what i am hung up on is, how does this point to a ship what is the formula, the lines i have tried for capitals are as follows
"TECH:CAPITALSHIP:BATTLESHIP"
"Tech:CapitalShip:Battleship"
"Pirate:CapitalShip:Battleship"
"Tech:CapitalShip:TECHBATTLESHIP"
so on and so on, is there any way to get the formula to work with a capitalship?
Also I have made it to where the raids include capitolships, few issues with command points being over limit and such, but i got that working now. Before i get started on trying to figure out the next part does any one have any idea on how to add a station to the pirate base as well, plus any ideas on how to have it started upgraded already?

Ask Nacey or chec his work. He was able to do it.
"Tech:CapitalShip:BattleShip" is what you need. (B and S both capped in "BattleShip") Looks like that was all you're missing. "Carrier" and "Support" also work, haven't tried colony or siege yet but I'm sure they work too.
Lines for all caps are as follows:
Tech:CapitalShip:BattleShip - Kol
Tech:CapitalShip:Colony - Akkan
Tech:CapitalShip:Support - Dunnov
Tech:CapitalShip:Siege - Marza
Tech:CapitalShip:Carrier - Sova
Phase:CapitalShip:BattleShip - Kortul
Phase:CapitalShip:Scout - Antorak
Phase:CapitalShip:Colony - Jarrasul
Phase:CapitalShip:Carrier - Skirantra
Phase:CapitalShipSiege - Vulkoras
Psi:CapitalShip:BattleShip - Radiance
Psi:CapitalShip:BattlePsionic - Rapture
Psi:CapitalShip:PlanetPsionic - Revelation
Psi:CapitalShip:Carrier - Halcyon
Psi:CapitalShip:Colony - Progenitor
Hope that helps!

When you say Station, what do you mean Overthrow?
The Starbase?
Station.. like starbase?
yes, i mean starbase, lol sorry about that
I don't know off hand and I'm not having any luck toying with it so far, I'll give you an update in a bit.
Well I've tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to work, I can't even give them a starbase constructor cruiser either.
Well, nice thought anyway, oh ... uh!!! I'm not thinking. In the playerPirate.entity there is no research or starbases, however the Pirates typically pull ships from the Tec, and in the playerTec.entity in the gameInfo folder there is a starbase count=starbaseTec line for the Tech. When i added Pirates as a playable race i added the research and the starbase count=starbaseTec for the Pirates. Check the player file to make sure, i cant remember off the top of my head if its count=1 or count=starbaseTec to indicate which starbase is used. But hope that helps!!
Here we go, in the playerTec.entity in the gameInfo folder for Entrenchment:
starBaseInfo count 1 entityDefName "StarBaseTech"
Yeah but even after adding that in for the pirate player I still can't get them to start with a starbase. That file shouldn't matter at all actually since I can get them to start with any of the Advent or Vasari capships when they aren't in the pirate player file.
Yeah ok an hour later and I'm still stumped, sorry but I don't have an anwer for you, tried everything I could think of.
As far as i can determin the galaxyscenariodef file and the behind the scenes processes attached to it have not been updated to support spawning starbases, you get an error claiming it is an invalid (possibly unknown) entity type. There is a however a work around though, if you spawn a dummy building with a instant build passive version of the deploystarbase ability the game will spawn the dummy building which will then instantly transform into a starbase.
alright ty every one, so far i have concluded that they are not set up to be spawned by the pirates, lol i guess i just gotta wait and hope for them to do something cool with the pirates in one of the expansions this is the coding i am using right now for my mod, you guys should try it out, you may get owned though with vanilla everything else,

Sorry had to edit this post here is the reworked pirate raid, basicly the threat level is increased per 5 planets, so to get to level 5 threat u need 25 planets, now once u get there u better have a fully upgraded station and a full 16 caps fleet with all support ships, or ur gonna have a lot of lag, the mod this is for allows u to build 32 caps so it is more balanced for that.

If you really wanna make it harder you could add in some Skirantra's, Progenitor's and some support frigates. The two caps for their AE repair and the support frigates for buffs/debuffs. But then again they won't always pick the repairing abilities probably and the support frigates wouldn't have any researched abilities either.
If you're trying to stick more to the theme the vasari and advent units won't look anything like pirates but well the way I figure it pirates would take anything they can get their hands on anyway so realistically they wouldn't stick to original or slightly modified designs.
While goofing around I stumbled upon something that may lead to giving the pirates star bases but I can't get it to work. I did make it where they could start with a star base constructor cruiser but I couldn't get them to use it at all. Perhaps someone else can get them to but here's how you add it in:
That line needs to be in the galaxyscenariodef file under the "PlanetItemTypeCount" section. I tried adding in:
Also it would appear the "designName" can be modified to whatever you want it to be but I haven't tested the theory. If true then you could add in whatever you wanted instead of - for instance - "Tech:CapitalShip:BattleShip" for the Kol when adding it to a location.
