Is piracy dependent of the systems policy or is independent?Can i find one system that say is democratic and have no pirates and another democratic one with pirates?
What are the safest political regimes to trade in and which ones to avoid?
This question arose because i got bored of a certain federation trade route that involved Sol :D
Thank you

Pirates appear in systems of all government types.

The closer to the political centres you are (Sol, Gateway, Achenar), the less piracy you get.

It seems to me that Sol is the "safest" of all three. You can run between Sol and Barnards Star many times and not see a single pirate.

so i can find systems with the same politics as sol and find a lot of pirates in them?
that means piracy is dependent of other factors.
anyone knows?

Like i said, piracy is related to proximity to the political centres. The further you get from these, the more likely you are to be attacked by pirates.

in general along the "trading routes" (displayable) are no or nearby no pirates to meet also restricted systems who needs a licens (van maanens) are generally safe, but if you carry people that are fugitive or carry their parcels you will meet a friendly person telling you that you've dealed with the wrong people and you will regret that soon (ha,ha,ha).:D
