One piracy-proof strat is to have VERY FEW systems, have a trade citadel in your capital, fill it with trade hubs, and NEVER build the hub anywhere else as that would break the routing.
Quite weird. This is how I would rework it.
Each trade hub provides 1 trade route, generating value depending on
BTW… gateway should be constructed ON TOP OF hyper relay and be considered the same structure, for simplicity in determining “connected route”.
Instead of a flat trade value stuff, commercial pact and trade federation allows you to make a trade route to other empires.

Each trade hub provides 1 trade route, generating value depending on
- The source trade value
- The destination trade value
- The distance
- The infrastructure (hyper relay, gateway, etc)
- piracy
- diminishing return with several routes on the same planet with less trade value.
