Yeah
Scouts:
One of them carries 2 eccm/2 ecm/ 2 scanners and a few beams
One of them carries a large number of their new cannons (mostly fore)
One of them carries 2 bomb launchers
Frigates:
One of the raider models has a large number of dual/fore arc cannons
One of the raider models has a large number of dual/fore arc torpedeos
The white corvette model has 6 t2 launchers and an extra engine and is probably really strong in groups
Destroyers:
A pirate carrier that houses a good number of squid (squid have very rapid firing guass guns that make them look like they're shooting nothing but red lasers at you, pew pew)
A pirate bomber with bombs, obviously
A pirate destroyer with 16 heavy cannons that can only fire broadside. Do not engage Lu Bu.
Cruisers:
A pirate carrier mothership, "Scylla"
Rogen's Flagship now carries an interdictor, a triple barreled ion cannon, and multiple cannons and torp launchers.
Station:
6 T3 missile launcher, cannons everywhere, 4 ion cannons in tri arcs, and an experimental device that may or may not stay on it.

pirates are the definition of easy kills with those weak weapons of theirs and their armor that seems to be weaker then k'luth armor.

Those Pirate ships would only be dangerous if someone who knows how to use them properly is flying them, AI using them would only be a threat in large groups.

This is a clue:

A pirate raider could hull a cruiser in 2 salvos, if not 1.
You can try and dodge the fire, but it's a frigate, it'll get close enough that you can't evade their cannons.

And that same Raider will drop like a fly as soon as it gets too close. Pirates have less than crap for defenses aside from the Nautilus.

AI tough, I agree. But 16 heavy cannon on a des? This is not tough, this is insane.

The DPS and DPE on them are inferior to other factions cannons. If they're still to strong i'll nerf the firing rate on them.
As for the pirates holding their own sector, all that tells me is that the pirate AI do a better job against the standard faction AI (probably because the pirate ships have a lot of fore guns and just mash spacebar and be k)

By the way, may you nerf MI regen too? It's ridiculous to see Node repair itself 1% every 3 seconds and Legion regen 1% hull/second!
