To repeat, if we could get rid of the pirates in the caspian we would. We can't, but please just ignore them as much as possible.

Point taken. It's a shame that there aren't enough unit slots to have some kind of patrol boat to counter the pirates, but given the limitations I certainly wouldn't want to sacrifice one of the existing units to accomodate it.
