1. A model was never made for it in the game, I guess they just wanted to save time.
2. The house militaries pretty much have their own problems to take care of in their territory, to strike on a pirate homeworld would take some serious resources that they probably can't spend.
3. It probably couldn't, Freelancer is not an accurate economic model, it's just entertainment.
4. Probably to save space in the systems, bear in mind that an entire star-system in Freelancer is only about 100-150 KM accross, an accurate gas giant would fill up the whole thing.

The truth sets you free.

quite right...quite right...

to kill or to be killed...if it lives, kill it...if it stands, level it to da ground...if in doubt?WIPE IT OUT!

-man that is awesome!beautifull!! P-R-E-T-T-Y!!!! how do i blow it??!!

In my opinion.

1) You do see Trents card, Your reputation icon.
2) If you were able to wipe out all the pirate bases. Who would be our
enemy? "Good and Evil, There never is one without the other." (Merlyn)
3)In the real world, your right. Business could not maintain itself with such
loses. But 95% of this game is based on Imagination.
4) Again Imagination for our entertainment.

It took them 6 years to develope this game. Can you imagin how much longer it would take if they used realilistic therorys......Try eliminating all the turrets off a pirate base. Great fight!

" There is no approved solution to a tactical situation".( General patton)

If you are in an Eagle or a similar ship, blasting the turrets off of a pirate base is quite easy. But you cannot damage the base otherwise. I wasted a lot of torpedos finding that out.

Actually, attaking a hostile base is a great way top make money. You can get as much for salvaged cargo and eapons as you would get in the highest paid missions.
