Any body thought of adapting Nemo and his ship and perhaps some other pirates? Patrick
No, but there's no reason that you can't!
The only black marks I see against Nemo himself going to space are-
1) No ramming, so the ether-Nautilus loses a lot of it's flavor.
2) No enviroment to protect- Nemo was after humanity for exploiting the oceans, not just for personal profit. So unless there's a sudden appearence of an Ether-whaling industry.... 
3) As a whole Nemo is a product of the Victorian era, while IS is firmly Edwardian.
Actually, I'd be interested in hearing what people think of piracy in Iron Stars. At the 'present day' I have a hard time seeing Ether-pirates as viable, but as traffic increases from the earth following asteroids and commericial space stations are built I can see several ways it could arise.

Although "officially" I'm not sure where Nemo would fit in space, there's nothing wrong with trying to work up a Nautilus-type ship for fun...
Of course, that would mean ramming rules, and y'all know by now how I feel about those.

Now that we have boarding rules, I don't see any reason NOT to have pirates.
Although I'd be more interested in state-sponsored piratical sea-dogs, like Drake for Elizabeth/England, rather than freelancers like Blackbeard. Just a personal bias...

You're forgetting the sinister influence of the World Crime League, that fiendish alliance of criminal masterminds from across the globe. With access to vast illicit wealth, stolen technology (both Terran and Invader) and the genius of Moriarty, Fu Manchu, and others, the grim specter of ether piracy is all too real. Even now, their hidden shipyards (first used by Nemo and Robur) are hard at work producing ether vessels to further their dastardly schemes of crime, chaos and conquest.
You didn't *really* think Cavor's sphere was stolen by a young English boy, did you? Oh no, there were WCL agents behind that disappearance. If they'd succeeded in purloining his formula as well, the governments of the world would even now be trembling beneath the iron grip of a coalition of tyrants.
