From planet to planet, the Hansa Star Guild can do little to deter the menace of pirate raiders who pillage and plunder trade ships with rising impunity. Even the Regulators are helpless against the enormity of the threat as the enemy’s ranks grow beneath a black banner of fear, violence, and riches.

Rampant Piracy! is the first Rogueship update to be submitted to the App Store. Along with bug fixes and some UI polish, this update introduces six new encounters depicting the effects of piracy on the trade markets, and a new gameplay mechanic in the form of “badges” you can earn for defeating pirates or smuggling contraband. Also look out for new pirate art.

New encounters include:

- Trade Market Besieged
- Smuggling Ring
- Weapons Cache
- Pulse Charge Snares
- Rampant Piracy!
- Extortion Racket

NB: Among the bug fixes is an update to the build target that was causing issues for players installing to 2nd iPod Touches for some environments.
