The Tri-Tachyon will stoop to using an Onslaught if they have a very unstable port. It's rare, though.
The endgame fleets, war fleets, etc. are not trivial to set up because they all require custom events to be done properly, or it just feels unprofessional. I simply don't have the time to make them. Until then, high-end bounty fleets are quite difficult indeed.
The Templars will have an event that spawns non-Templar war fleets from nearby systems, however. If you activate that mod once I finish the update, you might be able to fight some big fleets.
Issue is In the current play through I have i chose to basically be a pirate.
And IIRC getting those bounties meant souring relations with the pirates. So no big fleets to fight =(
As for onslaughts and tri-tacyhon, sitting around in the Valhalla system beating up tri-tac fleets for the bonus with hegemony lead to onslaughts being pretty much standard...
On another note, can anyone tell me how to
increase stability?
I know certain factors will decrease it (I sold ~100 organs and 500 drugs to the hegemony planet in the corvus system and wow -6 stability...) but i have no idea how to increase it.
Even buying the whole stockpile of ships from an outpost to see if that boosted export value didnt seem to do anything -.-'
On a sort of linked note, is it intentional that pirate ships tend to be all [D]? Was kind of irritated when i finally got to favourable with them, and all the big stuff to buy were [D] class cruisers...
Lastly, how often do markets refresh?
sorry for the rambling!
