Or just someway to make this easier?Well, if literally everyone hates you things are unlikely to go well, yeah. Raio_Verusia has good advice in the post above this one (you don't need a commission if you don't want one, but getting on factions' good sides will avoid unwanted wars).
I'm enjoying the Ai fighting amongst themselves and colonizing systems. But being the punching bag of all these massive armies when I have one tiny fleet and one colony that I'm trying to get off the ground isn't being particularly fun.
I just had to abandon a game as I couldn't defend my one size 4 colony with two cruisers and some destroyers against endless hordes of battleships. Every faction other than the independents was at war with me.
But to answer the question: In Nexerelin/exerelin_config.json, you can check the invasion settings section, and change the allianceGracePeriod setting to 999999 or such.QuoteOther than the difficulty I've been really enjoying this, makes the game feel much more alive.Thanks

I can't help you with what you wish to know, but I can offer help some other way. Do not rush colony building. Build your fleet and work as a commissioned officer for some time, maybe even a full cycle. Get to exploring, and make sure you hit system bounties and help defend stations etc. Don't start a colony until you have confidence in your fleet combat-wise and like, 1 million credits. It helps to build relations with factions before doing so. It's not an easy game but, I rapidly became so powerful (even with ruthless sector) by playing the system bounty cards just right. And by system bounty, I mean, if pirates or a faction's enemy is harassing enough, a faction will put out a bounty over an entire system containing the threats and you rack in a lot of dosh by killing ships that you are able to kill. Just regularly check that bounties tab in intel! My mistake my first play through was rushing a colony.
Thanks for the help both. The factions didn't start hating me, it was the two alliances randomly declaring war on me due to the diplomatic events. I was simply keeping to myself in the corner trying to build up my colonies.
I have plenty of money saved up when I start making a colony, normally around 2.5 mil. I also have a fleet with 3-4 cruisers, 4-6 destroyers and like 10 frigates. The problem is I get attacked faster than I can get my defences setup, and in that previous game by fleets with several capital ships, which I just can't really fight until I get my colony running.
I've disabled alliances using that method so far in my current game and stuff is going alright. Is there a way to reduce the overall size of the invasion fleets?
