ALSO:
With the fighter changes (fighters tied to carriers), factions don't really work as they are supposed to. The ISA is supposed to be fighter-heavy, but they have only one carrier. Methinks I'll have to make a new ISA ship or give other ships a hangar.
Their BB just became a lot more beastly with the addition of 3 fighter bays. Balance is out of whack.
This would be true if spawning patrols and trade fleets were all that was needed, but there are several factions without their own ports, and several factions that have a single port, but are basically a different pirate faction.
What exactly do you mean?
SectorEntityToken spawnpoint = getSector()..getStarSystems(random).getCenter();?
I am not sure if you are still messing with the spawnpoints but you don't need that anymore. Fleet spawning is a lot easier now, all you need to do is set the ship types and frequency of pick in the .faction files, like you can see below (taken from hegemony.faction):Code....

All you need to do is set specific ships to one or more of those categories and the game will automatically pick them based on the type and frequency, which is set by the number after the ship name. Those names in the list are the names of the ship variant, just like the names of the variant file.
I spent too much time trying to fix fleet spawning by messing around with the wrong files and wrong code, hope I can help you not do the same
