Unfortunately the pirates are pretty organised and refuse to engage our patrol forces - they would far rather pick off lone haulers or NPC hunters, and have also declared war so they can go after young characters and haulers in empire space, where they would normally be protected. The couple of engagements we have had have been pretty fun though. Frankly I think the war system is a bit broken - it makes sense when both corporations have an industrial base, but it is far too easy for a small group of dedicated pirates to take advantage of it with no drawbacks for them, as they do nothing other than pvp anyway. In response to NBarnes, 0.0 space is incredibly lucrative, and the larger fleet engagements generally take place in a contest over this space. In all honesty though, it's more about pride than anything :) I’ve just started my tackling career for The Big Blue - we are currently trying to deal with a pirate problem in our small area of 0.0 space.

I imagine that wars between large alliances have an amazing burn rate of cash (I've seen screenshots of fleet engagements with a dozen ships on both sides). What gets fought over that's worth the losses?
