I was just pondering about the automated ships in another thread and I thought of something interesting that could be done:
Pirate automated ships! Maybe some pirate sectors have automated ships but painted with purple markings. The rogues certainly have Stealth ships, Rebel ships, etc, so why not some automated drones? Maybe they were sold to them or stolen and reprogrammed.
The same perhaps could be done for the Federation. You encounter a friendly Federation automated ship (or cruiser) which gives you supplies or a mission.
Also, why not Pirate-painted Rebel Corvettes and Cruisers? Any lore-friendly way to explain how the pirates got the Rebel Fighters and Riggers but not the bigger ships? The Rebels don't allow heavy equipment to fall into the hands of scavengers?
