So far no pirate has openly shown an interest in joining the Consciousness after their faction would be defeated. And IMHO it's important to know for our position in the defeated-members debate how many pirates would be interest, if any would want to join us at all that is (which can be heavily doubted 
).
So how about we send a PM to the active pirates somewhere in the future - perhaps after we have captured some more bases next year and they've seen the full extent of our military power - and ask about their intentions?
Something like this?
Hi XXX,
Lately there have been discussions regarding what should happen with members of a defeated faction. More specifically we of the Consciousness started that discussion as we felt there is a chance we might defeat PEACE.
No pirate has yet openly expressed any interest though in joining another specific faction, which is of course only normal. However we of the Consciousness were wondering if there was any interest in PEACE for joining the Consciousness if we would be victorious. Are you, and perhaps other pirates, open to that possibility? You would be welcomed with open arms as an equal member.
Personally I feel joining us if you would be defeated would be the best option for you, because you'll join a faction that would resemble PEACE very much, with the only big and very unfortunate difference our lack to harvest aquatic minerals. However on the other side you'd have the same bases and technologies as PEACE had , and to an extent even the same allies and rivals. Since we have the Maritime Control Centre, we would also attempt to be the world's finest naval power. That way you could continue to sail ships where as all the other factions are land centric.
If the majority of PEACE would join the Consciousness, you would also be able to continue playing with the same group you have gotten to know over the past few months. In short, it would provide the greatest continuity for you. That continuity would not exist if you all splintered up and went to completely different factions such as the Hive or Drones, in which you would be a lonely stranger in the midst of a group already knowing each other and exchanging tactics since months. 
Anyway, I hope you will consider our offer. I really believe it is the best option for both of us.
Friendly greetings,
