From what I understand there is a fixed number, so when one gets destroyed a new one spawns somewhere. What that fixed number is I don't know but I'm sure one of the script analysts can tell us. Probably could figure out how many potential spawn points there are as well.

Not a DiD, so I guess it's a DiDn't, the story of my first try at AP
Part One, in progress
HEY! AP!! That's new!!!

Are new ones created though (perhaps because I'm producing so many products they like to buy and sell), or is the number fixed at the start of the game, so that the only thing about them that changes about them is their location?
Now up to 23 (which seems like a strange number to fix at):
IDOAF-79 Two Grand
IDOBE-59 Getsu Fune
IDOBL-50 Bala Gi's Joy

I'm pretty sure the number is fixed throughout the game. As for how many they are, I think Egosoft picked cool initial locations for the bases rather than sitting down and saying, "We need X pirate bases, let's now pick where to put them", so 23 is entirely possible. (You'd need to use a script on a new game start to exactly identify how many there are and where they start, though).

There are 14 normal pirate bases and 2 Anarchy Ports at any one time. The pirate base, if there's only one, in the sector east of PTNI HQ, is a special plot specific one and has nothing for sale. If you're seeing a lot more than 14, then most likely some of those have been destroyed and respawned in a random location.
In fact, a good number of the PB's start the game in controlled race space, or in a Xenon sector, and get destroyed fairly quickly. Most of the ones on your list don't start in those locations. Here are the ones in race space:
Ore Belt
Atreus Clouds
Priiest Pity
Company Pride
Bad Debt
Nathan's Voyage
New Income
Xenon Sector 597 (Haven't checked this in a while, but pretty sure it still starts here, although it may have been replaced by the one in Terran Unknown Sector.)
Here are the ones that start in pirate space:
Brennan's Triumph
Hatikvah's Faith (not the Anarchy Port)
Unknown Sector east of PTNI HQ
Veil of Delusion
Bright Profit
Gaian Star
Anyway, that should be the fourteen starting locations.
Note that the two Anarchy Ports, in Hatikvah's Faith and Loomanckstrat's Legacy, respawn in the same location if and when they get destroyed.

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
