Bring back freighters
Certainly planetary shields would keep pirates off a planetary surface, but it wouldn't affect their impact on the myriad of transport vessels that would be operating across an empire.
Of course, if they brought back freighters, there would be something that could register a more tangible impact than simply generating unrest points.
Of course, given ship speeds and the huge area most empires end up encompassing (even in the early stages), the "phantom transports" would have to be much faster than starships to deliver food and stuff to far flung planets.
And transports are always much faster than warships (right?).
The game needs to be more consistent with its own universe.
